Simple Mail Transfer Protocol is a standard mail transfer protocol. It is mainly used to send emails between the servers. It works on four ports: Port 25: This is a non-encrypted port that is set by default. You can use it to send non-encrypted messages. Open Mail app and go to the Mail menu, then select “Preferences” Choose the “Accounts” tab in the preferences window Select the mail account that is experiencing problems and/or errors Look under the ‘Account Information’ tab and click on “Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)” and choose “Edit SMTP Server List”. The Gmail SMTP server method is the most accessible one out of the three — which is precisely why we’re covering this method. Here’s why you shouldn’t use the G Suite and Restricted Server methods: The G Suite method can only be used by G Suite users who pay for a monthly subscription.

I just purchased a Brother HL-3170CDW, which we keep in our basement. I don’t walk by it every day and my wife uses it so I want to know when it needs toner. The HL-3170CDW is capable of sending out emails to notify you of different things so I wanted to enable those features. I’m a big Google Apps/Gmail user so I just created an email account for my Brother Printer and wanted to set up the features. Here’s how you can do it:

Hardware:

Relevant supplies:

Step 1: Browse to the printer in your web browser.

Step 1a: Open “System Preferences”

Step 1b: Click on “Printers & Scanners.”

Step 1c: Double click on the printer you want to browse to and that will open up this window:

Step 1d: Click on the “Settings” icon at the top.

Step 1e: Finally, click on the “Show Printer Webpage” button.

This will not tell you the IP but it will get you to where you want to go (and now I’m switching back to the printer example I started with):

Step 2: Log into your printer.

You will now be able to change the settings you want to change since you are logged in. Note that there are now 3 additional tabs at the top of the screen: Print, Administrator, and Network.

Step 3: Click on the “Network” tab at the top.

Step 4: Click on “Notification” in the blue left column.

This is what you’ll see:

Step 5: Click on the “POP3/SMTP>>” link in the main window.

This is the screen you’ll be taken to:

Step 6: Enter the gmail/google apps information as follows:

SMTP Server Address: smtp.gmail.com
SMTP Port: 465
SMTP Server Authentication Method: SMTP-AUTH
SMTP-AUTH Account Name: <your full gmail/google apps email address>
SMTP-AUTH Account Password: <your password of course>
SMTP over SSL/TLS: SSL
Device E-mail Address: <this is the email account I created specifically for this printer, but you could use your own email address>
POP3 Server Address: pop.gmail.com
POP3 Port: 995
Mailbox Name: <printer’s full email address>
Mailbox Password: <printer’s email account password>
Note: if you’ve already saved your preferences the second password (Retype password) field will be empty but you don’t need to re-enter it if you are not changing it.
POP3 over SSL/TLS: SSL
Note: you can uncheck the “Verify Server Certificate” if these settings don’t work at first.

Step 7: Test the E-mail send configuration.

Enter your email address and check the box next to “Send Test E-mail” and click the “Submit” button.

If your settings are correct then you will see the following:

Step 8: Set up your notifications.

Click on the “Network” tab at the top and then on the “Notification” link on the blue column on the left. Click on the “Notification 1” link in the main window:

Step 9: Enter your personal email and pick the events you want notified.

The “Administrator Address” is the email address where you want to receive the email notifications from your printer.

Click the “Submit” button and you are ready to be notified when issues arise on your Brother printer.
