Configure e-mail settings
The product offers color-scanning and digital-sending capabilities. By using the control panel, you can
scan black-and-white or color documents and send them to an e-mail address as an e-mail attachment.
To use digital sending, the product must be connected to a local area network (LAN).
NOTE: The e-mail icon is not shown on the control panel if e-mail is not configured.
Before you can send a document to e-mail, you must configure the product.
NOTE: The instructions that follow are for configuring the product at the control panel. You can also
perform these procedures by using the embedded Web server. For more information, see
Embedded Web server on page 183 .
Supported protocols
The HP Color LaserJet CM6030 and HP Color LaserJet CM6040 MFP models support Simple Mail
Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).
SMTP
● SMTP is a set of rules that define the interaction between programs that send and receive e-mail.
In order for the device to send documents to e-mail, it must be connected to a LAN that has access
to an e-mail server that supports SMTP. The SMTP server must also have Internet access.
● If you are using a LAN connection, contact your system administrator to obtain the IP address or
host name for your SMTP server. If you are connecting through a DSL or cable connection, contact
the internet service provider to obtain the SMTP server IP address.
LDAP
● LDAP is used to gain access to a database of information. When the device uses LDAP, it searches
a global list of e-mail addresses. As you begin to type the e-mail address, LDAP uses an auto-
complete feature that supplies a list of e-mail addresses that match the characters you type. As
you type additional characters, the list of matching e-mail addresses becomes smaller.
● The device supports LDAP, but a connection to an LDAP server is not required in order for the
device to be able to send to e-mail.
NOTE: If you need to change the LDAP settings, you must change them by using the embedded
Web server. For more information, see Embedded Web server on page 183 , or see the Embedded
Web Server User Guide on the product Administrator CD.
