Unable to scan docs to email

[1239872]

My Laser Jet MFP M130fw printer gives the following message when I attempt to "Scan to e-mail"...."This feature requires the printer to be connected to a network.   Connect the printer to a network and try again."   How do I connect the printer to a network.    Please keep in mind I am a little old (79!) lady just learning all this stuff.   Thank you all in advance.

Hi @1239872,

I'd like to help!

Connect the printer to the Wi-Fi network

Before you can wirelessly print, connect the printer to the same local wireless network your computer or mobile device is on. These steps also apply if you changed your internet service provider or installed a new router and need to reconnect the printer.

NOTE: 

Wireless printing does not work over limited guest networks in places such as college dorms and hotels. Use a USB cable or connect with Wi-Fi Direct instead.

1. If you received an Enter the WPS PIN for your printer message, click Cancel in the window, and then continue with these steps.

2. Place the printer near the Wi-Fi router.

3. Turn on the printer and make sure ink cartridges are installed and paper is loaded in the main tray.

4. Connect the printer to the local network.

   Printers with a touchscreen control panel:

   1. On the printer, select Restore Network Settings (or similar) from the Wireless , Settings , or Restore Settings menu.

   2. Get the network name (SSID) and password. Go to Finding Your Wireless Password for more information.

   3. Select Wireless Setup Wizard from the Wireless, Settings, or Network Setup menu, and then select your network name and enter the password

To setup scan to email follow the below steps -

Before you can scan to email, you must configure your email with a local email client, such as the Windows Mail app, Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, or Windows Live Mail. If you already have a local client configured on your computer or do not want to scan to email, skip to the next step.

• Windows Mail app is pre-installed on all Windows 10 computers. Search Windows for mail, open the app, and then add your email address. If you are using Windows 8, go to How to set up email account in the Mail app in Windows 8.1 (in English).
• Microsoft Outlook is available for purchase at the Microsoft Store (in English), either individually or as part of the Microsoft Office Suite. Go to How to set up an Internet email account in Outlook 2013 or 2016 (in English) for instructions to add your email.
• Mozilla Thunderbird is available for download at Mozilla Thunderbird (in English). Follow the on-screen prompts to install Thunderbird and add your email.
• Windows Live Mail is no longer available to download but still works if you already have it. Make sure the email you want to scan to is added to Live Mail.
