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.

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
