configuration.
E-mail command and response
The HP LaserJet 4200 and 4300 series printers can send e-mail messages directly. However, you must configure e-
mail information to initiate this capability. One use for this feature is to send diagnostic information to solve a printer
problem. An e-mail sent to the printer requests configuration information. The printer automatically sends that
information back to the service provider. In many cases, the problem can be identified quickly and solved remotely. For
more information about e-mail command and response, see the HP Embedded Web Server for HP LaserJet
Printers guide.
To configure your printer to send e-mails, follow these steps:
1
Take note of your printer's TCP/IP address on the EIO X JetDirect page (this is the second page of the
Configuration Page printout. The number indicated by "X" may vary. To print a configuration page, see
"Determining the current level of firmware".)
2
Launch your Web browser.
3
In the Address: or Go to: field, type the TCP/IP address assigned to the printer (for example, 192.168.0.20) or
the host name (for example, http://myprinter). The HP Web Access home page appears.

From the top of the HP Web Access screen, click Device.
5
On the navigational bar on the left, click Alerts.

Under Notification Recipients, type your e-mail address (for example, "name@company.com".)
