Scan to email

[FlemingoFam]

Hi, I have a HP Officejet Pro 8715. I am trying to setup the Scan to email function. I used to have it working a couple of years ago, and decided to start to try and use it again. I cannot find a way to set it up or a wizard on the touch screen or a way to reset settings. Can you please advise on how to set this up? Thanks

What else?

The Datasheet indicates the printer supports Digital Sending for Scan to Email.

?

If true, then it would (in my opinion) follow that you can / would set up Scan to Email using EWS.

I cannot reconcile the difference --

The answer is use what works.

That is, if there is not a section to configure Scan to Email in EWS, use the method outlined in the user manual.

Digital sending Standard: Scan-to email; Fax archive to email

Use the Embedded Web Server (EWS) to configure Scan to Email Profile(s).

Scan to Email – Two-Step Verification and Application Password

Email Account Security

"Scan to Email", “Scan to Network”, "HP Scan > Email" and "Share" are subject to your Email Account provider's security that governs how your email account interacts with "third party software / apps".

For example, Google (G-Mail) and other email providers, including (and not limited to) Apple, Microsoft, and Yahoo, might require that you enable 2-Step Verification AND create and use an App Password to interact with the printer software, printer applications, or any program that requires that software to access your email account.

Where the email provider's security requires it, the App Password is used in place of your normal email / account password in "third party" apps and software.

and

Create / Select app and (then) create your app password

• At the bottom, choose Select app and choose the app you using > Select device and choose the device you’re using > Generate.
• Follow the instructions to enter the App Password. The App Password is the 16-character code in the yellow bar on your device.  
• Make note of the password in case you need to re-enter it.
• Tap Done.

Tip: Most of the time, you’ll only have to enter an App Password once per app or device, so don’t worry about memorizing it.

Make note of your App Password >> Enter the 16 App Password (no spaces) in Scan to Email in place of your regular password.

Assign / set that new App Password in your Scan to Email profile as the password.
