Quick answer

Scan-to-email stopped working across Dubai offices when Microsoft 365 disabled basic authentication — printers were authenticating with a username and password that no longer works. The fix is to move the device to modern authentication where supported, or route scans through an authenticated SMTP relay or a dedicated mailbox with an app password, depending on the printer's age.

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

Brands we fix daily

HP LaserJet Enterprise, Canon imageRUNNER, Epson WorkForce, Xerox WorkCentre, Kyocera TASKalfa — same authentication story across all of them after M365 security defaults change.

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.
