In this blog post, we'll walk you through a few simple steps to fix scan-to-email issues you may be experiencing due to Google's recent two-factor authentication change. So read on and get scanning!


Step 1:

Log into the email address account you're using to relay scans at www.gmail.com. If you're unsure the exact email address, you can find this by looking in the Administrator > Network Settings of your device.

Step 3:

Select the Security Tab within the Gmail Settings

Step 5:

After turning On 2 Step Verification, select the newly listed 'App Passwords' from the Signing in to Google Section.


Step 6:

Use a Custom Display name like "Copier" or "Printer" and click "Generate"


Step 7:

Copy the Generated Password into the Copier Email Network Settings and...boom! You're ready to scan. [Administrator > Network Settings > Email Settings > Email SMTP Settings > Password].
