HP Printer Setup

1

Access Printer Settings

On your HP printer's touchscreen:

• Touch the Setup icon (wrench or gear)
• Select Network Setup
• Choose Email Server or Scan to Email

2

Enter SMTP Settings

Configure the outgoing mail server:

SMTP Server

smtp.wescan.net

Port

587

Connection Security

STARTTLS

3

Enter Authentication

Use your WeScan credentials from the dashboard:

SMTP Username

s_xxxxxxxxxx

SMTP Password

[generated from dashboard]

Generate your credentials from the WeScan Dashboard under SMTP Settings.

4

Configure Recipient Email

Set the default "To" address on your printer:

• Enter the email address you want scanned documents sent to
• This address must be in your WeScan recipient whitelist
• Add recipients via the Dashboard before scanning

Tip: Most HP printers have a "Test Email" option. Use it to verify your settings before scanning important documents.

Brother Printer Setup

1

Open Web Based Management

Access your Brother printer's embedded web server:

• Find your printer's IP address from the settings menu
• Enter the IP address in a web browser
• Log in (default credentials are often admin / access)

2

Navigate to Scan to Email

In the web interface:

• Go to Scan → Scan to Email → SMTP Settings
• Or Network → Protocols → SMTP

3

Enter SMTP Configuration

Configure Sender & Recipient

Fill in the authentication and recipient fields:

• From Address: Use your WeScan SMTP username
• User ID / Auth: Same SMTP username
• Password: Your generated SMTP password

Tip: Use STARTTLS, not SSL/TLS. Brother's menu can be confusing — look for SMTP Port 587 with TLS enabled, not SSL port 465.
