Solution : Configure Scan To E-mail With Gmail Using CentreWare Internet Services (CWIS)

Pre-requisite: An existing Gmail account.

NOTE: “IMAP” and “POP For All Mail” need to be enabled in the settings section
of the Gmail account. For assistance with enabling this option, contact Google
Support or check Google Help Forums. It is possible to make the Scan To E-mail
feature work without enabling these options, but it may delay receiving the
scanned attachment if they are not enabled.

1. Login to CWIS as the Administrator. See the Related Items below for
additional information.
2. Click on the [Properties] tab.
3. Enter the login name in the User ID field, and the password in the Password field.

blocked on the network.
