Scan-to-email is one of the most common printer service calls in Dubai since Microsoft and Google tightened SMTP authentication. Older MFPs that only support basic SMTP passwords stop working when MFA is enforced — Azizi Technologies fixes authentication (app passwords, OAuth where supported, or SMTP relay), tests end-to-end, and documents settings for your team.
Quick answer
Most scan-to-email fixes in Dubai are configuration, not hardware — typically resolved in 30–90 minutes on-site or remotely. Fixes: dedicated scan mailbox with app password, Microsoft 365 SMTP relay with IP allow-list, or hybrid cloud scan services for legacy devices.
Fix paths by platform
- 1Microsoft 365 — app password on dedicated scan account (if allowed) or SMTP relay
- 2Google Workspace — app password or OAuth on supported Canon/HP firmware
- 3Legacy printer — onsite SMTP relay appliance on your LAN
- 4Scan-to-folder instead — often more reliable than email on old firmware

Frequently asked questions
Can you fix this remotely?
Yes if the printer web interface is reachable on VPN or TeamViewer to a local PC — otherwise a short on-site visit.
Should we replace an old MFP instead?
If firmware cannot do modern auth and scan volume is high, a current model with OAuth support can cost less than repeated emergency visits.
Is scan-to-folder more secure?
Often yes — files land on a controlled share with permissions instead of email in transit.
