HP Pagewide Pro 477dw PIN

[Outbackgal]

To get scan to email function working in my HP Pagewide Pro 477dw printer, I need a PIN.  It is not on a sticker inside the inside of the cartridge door. I fo not recall resetting it but I do not know the default PIN. Is there any way to know what the PIN is? 
thank in advance. Please help🙏

The location of the PIN on an HP printer can vary depending on the model. Here are some common places to look:

1. On a sticker: Many HP printers have a sticker on the back, bottom, or inside the cartridge access area with the PIN and other default credentials.
2. On the printer display: If your printer has a display, you can find the PIN under the wireless settings or WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) settings.
3. If no display: Press the wireless button and the information button at the same time for 3+ seconds to get a printout with the PIN
4. In the user manual: The PIN is often listed in the printer's user manual or documentation that came with the device

If admin (Admin) and 12345678 or the above PIN do not allow login, then get a network status printout or ask Microsoft's Copilot

I looked at the manual here and the WPS PIN is mentioned but that is is the PIN the modem needs for networking.

There are password and PIN protected functions but each user creates their own PIN or is provided a PIN by the administrator.   You need to setup the scan-to-email account and create a pin.

example of setting up an app password for printing

The printer cannot use the account password. A special "application" password is required as discussed here.

You cannot use your account credentials. Your username (email) is ok but you need an app password as discussed here.

Let me know what you find out.
