From what I can gather - the Invalid option is actually the none option - but I also read that you couldn't send without authentication of some kind - whichmakesano_sense.

And the only way I can gather to test these settings is by trial and error sending test scans. If you've figured out anything else I would love to know about it - working on configuring this now.

The problem I have is both of the mail servers I am using require ports that are not in the range allowed. And I would use a Gmail account but it requires SSL, also not supported by the 3115.  GRRRR

Update to my previous.

I have a Bellsouth account which does not require SMTP authentication.

I have tested in a couple different mail clients using the IP address (instead of mail.bellsouth.net) and no authentication/username/passwords and it work perfectly for sending mail.

I input the same settings in the 3115 and keep getting the same error message 016-764 (ensure SMTP server address is correct).

I've tried many combinations but nothing seems to be happeneing. Again - open to suggestions here.

I don't know if this will work for you or not.

I use a 964 with a 3300 Wireless printer adapter. I use Mozilla Thunderbird with my gmail account. If I choose scan to email, it will send the scanned image(as a jpeg) to a new email opening Mozilla Thunderbird. I then have to add the email address(es) and then hit the send button. I really don't use this feature a lot, but tried it when someone was having trouble. I mostly use the scanner to scan jpeg to my hard drive, then I resize them to email them or save them to a pcture file.

Unfortuantely that really won't work for my situation. I use this MFP in a small office and would need this to function as a free standing service. I have multiple users and often just need to scan in a contract and email it (a digital sender).

Also, I cannot scan to an application over ethernet, only by USB.

Maybe I'm wrong, but this looks like it might work.

Reading the manual that was downloaded from here.

So if you enable SSL encryption, then when you setup the printer for emailing, using the port numbers for gmail,

pop.gmail.com port 995 SSL

smtp.gmail.com port 587 TLS(if available)

I would think it would already know what to do.

It says,

To specify the settings for the SSL encryption communication to the multifunction printer.

Values:

*1 Initial values may vary for different countries.

Purpose:

To attach the scanned image to an e-mail.

Values:

Pudgy - this is very interesting. You were clear where you got this info out of the help file - though I think I found it.

But minor detail - I do NOT have these options in the WebUI for the printer. under the other features tab, All I've got is set password.

i have the latest firmware - but this seems really bizarre.

Download the manual from the above post. Open the help file. Click on search, then type ssl. Read the related information.

I also did a search for scan to email and got more information from there. Maybe you'll get some updated information from the new disk, when you get it.

Sorry the top words are light. They were highlighted from the search and that's why they're light.

Online manual might help.

I found the section fine in the manual. After reading and rereading, I found the note that meant something.

"NOTE: An optional multi-protocol card is required to display the Security page."

I really thought this card - during the purchase process - was strictly related to wireless networking. No idea it affected wired ethernet settings as well.

Anyway, this explains why my WebUI config tool is missing many of these options that I was reading about.

Still doesn't explain why I can't get the SMTP to send email (via my Bellosuth account)

Still trying to get the email function to work. I've tried various settings with multiple email accounts. I can get the same settings to work in a regular email client - but not in printer itself.

Anyone been successful setting up SMTP on the printer?

I've been screwing around with the scan to email settings for 2 days now and near as I can tell this is a feature that simply doesn't work.
