The Print2Email can be configured to use an SMTP Server as an email provider. To do so, select the Custom SMTP Mail Server option on the Email Providers tab.

If the Custom SMTP Mail Server option was selected as the desired email provider, the SMTP Server settings become available on the right, where users can enter the required information. Please see the available SMTP settings below.

SMTP Settings

• Port - Enter the correct SMTP port for the mail server (25 by default). The Port number must be between 1 and 65536.
  NOTE: If the SMTP server requires SSL connection, please check the SMTP Server email settings for the correct port number. The default port number for SSL/TLS is 587.
