SMTP settings and setup should be done through advanced users or IT professionals since making changes in the SMTP can cause scanning interruptions.

## 1. Type your machine’s IP address into the URL bar of a web-browser

The easiest way to make changes to your [**SMTP**](https://bdsdoc.com/blog/scan-to-email-mfp-copier/) is through your MFP copier’s web interface. We access this through a web portal in which you will need to know your MFP copier’s IP Address.
 (If you do not know your machine’s IP address, see our guide here: *[How to find your IP address](https://bdsdoc.com/kb-articles/find-your-kyocera-printers-ip-address/)*)

## 2. You will receive a certificate error. Press ‘Show Advanced’ and then ‘*Proceed to **Your IP address**’

(This example is from Google Chrome. If using another web browser, your certificate error will look slightly different. Just make sure to proceed to the site.)

Each of these SMTP Ports uses a different security SMTP protocol.
 (You may need to also fill out Authentication Protocol, Login User Name, and Login Password as well if you have SMTP security enabled.)
