Scan to email failed

[Kkst]

I set up scan-to-email using email profile.

my email profile is as follows:

hotmail email address

smtp server smtp-mail.outlook.com

smtp port: 587

username/password

I could not specify  SMTP encryption "STARTTLS" and authentication method "OAuth2/Modern Auth"

Q. when can smart tank 7605 support the above modern authentication method?

Hi @Kkst ,

Thanks for sharing the details. 

I understand how frustrating it must be to have your scan-to-email functionality fail, especially when modern authentication methods like OAuth2 are not yet supported.

here are some steps you can take to work around this limitation or explore alternatives:

1. Check for Firmware Updates

• Visit the HP Support website and check if a firmware update is available for your Smart Tank 7605 printer. Some updates may add support for newer authentication methods or improve compatibility.

2. Use an App or Software-Based Scan to Email

• Instead of using the printer's built-in scan-to-email feature, scan your documents using the HP Smart app on your computer or mobile device and then attach the scanned files to an email manually.

3. Create an App-Specific Password

• For services like Hotmail, if OAuth2 isn't supported, you can generate an app-specific password for your printer from your Microsoft account settings and use it instead of your main password.

4. Try a Different SMTP Provider

• Some SMTP servers, such as Gmail or Yahoo Mail, may work without OAuth2 by enabling "less secure app access" in their settings. Use this temporarily while looking for a permanent solution.

If none of these solutions work for your requirements, you may want to reach out to our HP phone support for more options.
