Scan to Email Error

[Cudllebug797]

Recently moved and since the move have been unable to scan and directly send document via email. Error given is Username or password is incorrect. Make sure both user account and password are valid.  Not sure where to go in and change/update this information. Not sure why I have to because all I did was move physical locations, not emails, lol. Anyone have any suggestions how to get this fixed?

Hi,

What email service do you use? please let me know this information as a beginning.

My first idea would be about security, it is possible that your mail service has blocked the connection due to identifying unusual access from the new location, this would make the most sense to cause a such.

I use gmail as my email service.

Hi,
A such may occur due to your Google account security settings.

First, open the following link and login to the same account as you set for the printer.

Note: if you are connected, sign out from your account, select your account and manually enter the password to ensure you indeed use the correct password, then click on Security from the left pane:
https://myaccount.google.com/security

First, review the recent activity link in this page.

Within the Signing in to Google section, check the "2-Step Verification" velue.

If it is set as "On", create and use an App-Specific Password with the printer:

If it is set as "Off", Within the Less secure app access section ensure that the feature is on.

If it is Off, click on Turn on access (not recommended) and toggle on the feature. Otherwise the verification will fail.
Once you are done run a test for the outgoing user profile and check if the problem been resolved.

Regards,
Shlomi

This does not seem to be the problem.

I've had this problem in the past and I called in for assistance. The associate had me log into my printer's setting from a website and re-enter the password for the email my printer should be sending to. For the life of me I can't remember how to do this.

Here is a Screen shot of the message I get when I choose Scan>Email>Start Scan.

Or would resetting the whole printer to factory settings be the easiest and set it up as new? I'm totally fine doing this, but can't figure out how to.

Hi,

That can be changed from the EWS page of the printer:

You shouldn't restore and reconfigure the settings, click Edit for the existing profile, and follow the steps by changing the email or password.
