How to specify a default sender on a Ricoh Aficio MP series copier

On a scanner or multifunction copier, when you use the scan to email function, the copier needs an email address to use as the "from" email address.  On a Ricoh MP series copier, you can select a sender to use each time you scan to email, or you can set the copier up to default to a specific email address, so you don't have to select it each time.

The steps below will walk you through specifying a default sender on a Ricoh Aficio MP series copier.  These steps work the same on most machines in the Aficio MP series, except for some of the smaller copiers that have a smaller touch screen or no touch screen at all.  For those copiers, the steps will be similar, but they may vary slightly.

- Press the User Tools/Counter button
- On the touch screen, select System Settings
- Select the File Transfer tab
- Select Administrator's Email Address
- Use the keyboard on the screen to enter the email address that you want to use as the default sending address
- Select OK
- Select the down arrow to scroll down to the next page
- Select Auto Specify Sender
- Select On
- Select OK
- Press the User Tools/Counter button to exit
