HP Officejet Pro 6830 e-All-in
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

I used to use scan to email to send documents to my work email address. I don't have this email address anymore and I would like to remove the email address from the machine for security purposes at least.

 

Can someone tell me how to do this because I cannot find any facility on the control panel or web interface?

Thank you for replying with this detailed response 😉 

I appreciate your time and efforts,

 

Yes, there's a plan B and I'm afraid its to reset your printer to factory defaults as that's the only way to get rid of the PIN,

If you don't know or have the PIN information.

Thank you for joining HP Forums. 

I'll be glad to help you 🙂 

 

As I understand you need help in deleting the email address for scan to email,

No worries, as I'll be glad to help you, that said, I'll need a few more details to dissect your concern & provide an accurate solution: 

Did you check the printer user guide or related HP Articles to complete this task?

 

If you haven't, here's an article that should help your cause: Click here for steps

Follow these steps to make changes to the account settings of your Scan to Email profile.

  1. Press the Power button to turn on the printer, if it is not on already.

  2. On the printer control panel, touch Scan.

  3. Touch Email, and then touch Modify.

  4. Touch the display to select the setting you want to modify, and then follow the on-screen instructions.

Do get back to me as I have a few more tricks up my sleeve,

Hello

 

Thank you for getting in touch and offering to assist.

 

I see that facility requires the original PIN. This, unfortunately, i do not have.

Nor does it seem that I can change the email address to re-route a resend.

 

Do we have a plan b?

 

Thx

It's great to know there are people with your skills around to help us. It has been great working with you.

Thank you once more. Over and out.

I had already figured out plan B.  I was hoping there was an acceptable plan C since plan B is not acceptable when you have multiple e-mail addresses already programmed in there.
