Note: If you are accessing Xerox CentreWare Internet Services for the first time after printer installation, you will be prompted to change the default Administrator Account password. The initial default password is the printer serial number.  For details, refer to Change the System Administrator Password for CentreWare Internet Services.

Email settings apply to all services that use SMTP, including Internet and Scan to Email.

Before you begin:

  • Create an email account for the printer. The printer uses this address as the default text in the From: field of the email.

  • Ensure you have connection information for your email service provider - server address and port number.

  • Ensure you have login information for the email account - username or email address and password.

  • Identity security requirements, such as TLS and Encryption.

Configuring Email Settings Using CentreWare Internet Services (CWIS)

If your printer is connected to your computer through a wired or wireless network connection, use Xerox CentreWare Internet Services to configure the Email settings.

Note: If your printer is connected to your computer using a USB cable connection, the Email service is not available.
