Setting up email in the Kyocera Command Center
One of the reasons I purchased the Kyocera FS-1035MFP was due to the email functionality.
On the night I received the device and plugged it in, I tried to send a document via e-mail, only to receive an error report from the device stating that the device didn’t have smtp access. A bit of doh… moment there.
So at the weekend I set up the devices e-mail functionality. Log into the device on the IP address you’ve given it (In my case http://192.168.0.11). Click on Advanced and then SMTP. You’ll be presented with the below page – without the values filled in.
The next part requires a little bit of knowledge on email authentication and connection details. My web host doesn’t offer the ability to send e-mails without paying extra, so I send emails from my ISPs email address and receive on my usual addresses. To send email using my ISP, I have to authenticate using port 587, STARTTLS and the username and password supplied by the ISP. By default the Kyocera ships not using SSL, so if you need to use security (SSL), click on the link on the page “Select On for the SSL setting to use SMTP Security. Click here”. Pick the security settings you want in the page shown below and save (submit) the page. It’s likely the device will need re-starting to take on board that change. When you log in next time the address will be https://192.168.0.11.
Go back to the SMTP page and fill in your email details, then click test. If you get a success message, you know you’ve set it up correctly. Go to the bottom of the SMTP page and click save (submit). The next area on the SMTP page is for configuring the address which will appear in emails from your printer. E.g. Kyocera@abcd.com. The first time I set up the settings I chose a max email size of 5000KB, tried it out and found that a single side was larger than that. Hence it now reads 15000KB. Bear in mind that some email providers limit emails at 10 meg (7.5 + bloat). Save the page when happy. Feel free to fill in more on the SMTP page, but I haven’t bothered.
The next page is a link on the SMTP page – E-mail Recipient 1, 2 and 3. Each page represents an address which will receive a notification email on failure or at a specified point in time. Fill in an email address which will receive the notifications and choose the options you wish that address to be told about. E.g.
Click the send button to test it out and when happy save the page. Add more reciepients by selecting “E-mail Recipient 2” or “E-mail Recipient 3” if wanted and repeat the above.
That’s it! Your printer will now spam notify you when a problem occurs and you can also send scan emails from the device.
