Support article for Lexmark XC4140
An E-mail Transmission Failure message is displayed on the printer control panel, followed by a printed Scan Log.
This article shares some of the possible causes for the error codes depicted on the Scan Log.
Note: Not all Lexmark multi-function printers support email authentication. If your printer does not, contact your E-mail Service Provider (ESP) to see other available options. You may have to perform a scan-to-pc if so.
