2335dn sending scanned image to network pc

I think it may be easier to setup push scanning from the machine itself. If you set up all of your users email addresses  in the web interface, you can select them from the printer console and push the scan to an email. I have been using that. (I just set this printer up today.)  

Are you sure the 2335dn supports scan to email without requiring a PC connected to it?  In other words, will this printer scan a document and email it through its own Ethernet port to a selected email address though an SMTP server?

I got burned by the 1815dn printer because when it first came out it required a PC to be connected via USB to it in order to support scan to email.  And now I have called Dell twice and 2 different people told me 2 different things regarding the 2335dn and scan to email.

Thanks!

Do you have more information on how to set this up and have you gotten it to work properly?

Also, does anyone have a way to quicken the menu process so the user is not having to select each option each time. I would love for them to be able to select the user they want to scan to and then hit scan instead of having to select all the options it asks...

This was a very frustrating subject for me until I downloaded stunnel and set up my printer to scan and send to specific email addresses.

I have a Dell 2335DN. I downloaded Stunnel from www.stunnel.org

This is installed on any host machine on your network. You use stunnel to create a SSL connection between your printer and (in my case) gmail or google apps or whatever email service you have.

The following configuration works just find for gmail and google apps sent directly from my printer.

Step 1: Find out your ip address for your printer and type that in your browser. This pulls up the printers configuration panel which is much easier than inputting the settings in the small monocrhome window on the printer's face:

Step 2: Go to "Email settings" in your printer configuration window. The SMTP server is the IP address for the machine that you installed stunnel on. Your printer will use your local machine and stunnel as a proxy to send your file via gmail.

Step 3: I use Port 259 for SMTP and 1109 for POP3 (same ip address for each server SMTP and POP3)

Step 4. Input your gmail username and password for both entries

Step 5. Select the authentication checkbox for SMTP and POP3

Step 6: Install and configure your stunnel config file. You can just copy and paste the following and it will work fine:

--start configuration--

cert = stunnel.pem
socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1
socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1
client = yes

[pop3s]
accept  = 1109
connect = pop.gmail.com:995

[imaps]
accept  = 143
connect = imap.gmail.com:993

[ssmtp]
accept  = 259
connect = smtp.gmail.com:465

--end configuration--

Before you start:

1. Make sure that you save your config file

2. Make sure you start stunnel before scanning

3. Make sure your firewall isn't blocking stunnel

Enjoy

I think you missed the point -- the problem isn't with scanning to email.  The problem is in scanning to a workstation.

How hard would it be for Dell to update the firmware to allow the 'quick scan' defaults to be user configurable?!!

I noticed the quick scan destination changed with a firmware update, but I can find no way to set it myself.  The printer needs to be able to scan to a server folder (server running the scanning application - to catch the communication, of course), using defaults with a single button press.

Dell?.........

Are you sure the 2335dn supports scan to email without requiring a PC connected to it?  In other words, will this printer scan a document and email it through its own Ethernet port to a selected email address though an SMTP server?

If yes, Kindly let me know about Email setting for the 2335dn printer.

Thanks

Amit,

I have my 2335dn connected wirelessly to my network. I use a free program called stunnel on my computer that creates a secure connection between the printer and your mail gateway. It's easy to set up and all you do is make sure that it's running on whatever computer you wish to use as the gateway. Then you just scan and email as needed. I set up email addresses for accounts, evernote and other drop services that I use to send to.

Let me know if you have any questions

Hi Quote,

Let me know about stunnel program, how to work it? also give me link for download this software. I have my 2335dn connected wire to my network. And also let me know about email setting for 2335dn.

Thanks,

Amit.

You can scan to both a local computer and to network computers (although if you're using BT Business Hubs, you may only see wired network computers and not wireless network computers).

It would also be great if Dell had better troubleshooting - we get SMTP authentication errors even with the correct settings but don't have enough  information from the printer to check whether it is the BT Business Hub at fault or the ISP.

Agreed - just bought this printer - by mistake really as we want a colour but the AC's wont take it back and now stuck with it. Trying to get the scan to email facility to work is a joke. completely open email server - my firewall can send alerts though it no worries, I can telnet to the smtp port and manually send an email from a non joined domain pc but still the printer states "authentication error" Dell support say they don't support the scan to email feature - amazing! so a key feature of the device is not supported - probably because it is broke!

Currently have to scan to USB and transfer - rubbish!

OK, after spending a full day troubleshooting this I have finally got it working. Trying to setup scan to email from dell laser 2335dn mfp to exchange 2013 (all roles). So the issue, to be fair was a combination of two things 1) the scanner clearly does not use the authentication settings you put in it. bug? 2) Exchange will not by default will not allow any non authenticated sessions.

I had to create a new receive connector on exchange like this:  

Name: Scanner - FrontEndTransport - Custom
Left the adapter bindings as default
Remote network settings / ip addresses: defined internal address range: 192.168.1.0/24 (note: does not work for /16 - check examples in wizard)

Then edit the connector:
Under security - Authentication: TLS checked Externally Secured Checked
Under security - Perm Groups: Exchange Servers checked Anonymous users checked

Run the exchange power shell and type:
Get-ReceiveConnector "scanner" | Add-ADPermission -User "NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON" -ExtendedRights "Ms-Exch-SMTP-Accept-Any-Recipient"

If you do set the above be certain to lock the exchange server connector down as this will open it up as an external relay, you will be spammed to death and it will be your fault! Double check the server is not opened up after you make these changes - I accept no responsibility for changes to your server that create security issues.

Question on this: DO you replace the whole config file with this configuration?

this is the log i got when i tried it:
