Configure e-mail settings
Before you can send a document to e-mail, you must configure the device.
NOTE The instructions that follow are for configuring the device at the control panel. You can
also perform these procedures by using the embedded Web server. For more information, see
Embedded Web server .
Supported protocols
The HP LaserJet CM4730 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 , or see the
Embedded Web Server User Guide on the device CD.
