Recently had trouble getting a Xerox VersaLink C7025 multifunction printer to Scan to Email correctly and found a couple solutions to the problem that I wanted to share. It all started when I configured the SMTP settings for the scanner to use G-Suite to send emails using the following article – “Send email from a printer, scanner, or app” but got the error 017-714 report from the printer.

As per the same article, the multifunction will work by using the following settings:
- Device Email: clients scanner email address
- SMTP Server:

- Connection Security: None
- SMTP AUTH: None

This will not allow sending to anyone outside their domain, which was not what this client wanted, so I contacted Xerox support and worked my way up to Level to support who pointed me to the following more secure answer:

Once logged into https://admin.google.com, click on Security then on Basic. Choose the option to allow each user to chose their own setting then go back to the less secure app setting page and change to allow for only that account. Now the multifunction can be configured as follows:
