Before diving into the steps, knowing the default username and password for accessing the admin settings on Toshiba copiers is essential. For most models, including the e-STUDIO series, the default credentials are:

• Username: admin
• Password: 123456

1. Issue an App Password: First, navigate to your Google account and go to "Security" -> "App passwords" (2-step Verification must be ON). Follow the prompts to generate a 16-character App Password.
2. Check Network Settings: Go to your Toshiba copier's network settings and ensure the IP and DNS are correctly configured to allow internet access.
3. Access TopAccess Web Console: Open a web browser and enter the IP address of your Toshiba copier to access the TopAccess web console.
4. Login to Administrator Mode: Log in using the default username and password. Navigate to TopAccess -> Administrator.
5. Navigate to SMTP Client Settings: From the Administrator panel, go to Setup -> Network -> SMTP Client.
6. Configure SMTP Settings in TopAccess:

• Enable SMTP Client: Set to "Enable"
• Enable SSL/TLS: Check this box
• Accept All Certificates Without CA: Check this box
• SSL/TLS StartTLS: Choose this option
• SMTP Server Address: smtp.gmail.com
• POP Before SMTP: Set to "Disable"
• Authentication: Choose "Login"
• Login Name: Your Gmail email address
• Password: The 16-character App Password (without spaces)
• Maximum Email: 30
• Port Number: 587
• SMTP Client Connection: 30 seconds

1. Save and Test: After entering all the details, save the settings and perform a test scan to email to ensure everything works as expected.

• Do I need to include spaces in the App Password?
  • No, enter the App Password as a continuous 16-character string.
• Is this method secure?
  • Yes, App Passwords are a secure way to bypass 2-step verification for trusted devices.
• What if my Toshiba model doesn't support OAuth?
  • Using Gmail with an App Password is a viable alternative.
