Mail Settings Tab

 

The Mail Settings tab contains the settings Scan2x uses to connect to email services. The tab has three sub tabs: SMTP, Microsoft Graph and IMAP.

•Jobs are set with an output destination of “Scan to Email”

•When jobs are set to email a copy of a saved scan (see the Scan to Email tab)

•When a user requests a new login PIN number (see “Request New PIN” on the Authenticating with Scan2x in the User's Guide)

•Scan2x generates a queue notification (see the Local Settings tab for an explanation of queue notifications)
