Send Scanned Data to an Email Recipient
Send scanned data directly from your Brother machine to an email recipient without using a computer.
• To send scanned data to an email recipient, you must configure your machine to communicate with your
network and email server, which is used to send and receive emails.
• You can configure these items from the machine's control panel or Web Based Management.
• To use the Scan to Email Server function, your machine needs to be connected to a network and have
access to an SMTP server. You will need the following SMTP email settings before you can proceed:
- Server address
- Port number
- User name
- Encryption type (SSL or TLS)
- Email server certificate (if used)
If you do not have these settings, contact your email service provider or network administrator.
