- Click the Settings (⚙) in the top-right corner, then select See all settings.
- Navigate to the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab.
- Click Add a forwarding address.
- Enter your specific
MEID@domail.maricopa.edu and click Next > Proceed > OK on the pop-up to authorize forwarding.
Step 2 – Create the PaperCut Email Filter Rule
- Return to your primary MEID@maricopa.edu Gmail inbox.
- Click the Show search options icon (sliders icon) on the right side of the main search bar.
- In the From field, type:

Step 3 – Validate the Forwarding Filter
- Verify Settings: Go to Settings > See all settings > Filters and Blocked Addresses and confirm the rule
Matches: from:(scans@papercut.com) Do this: Forward to MEID@domail.maricopa.edu appears active.
- Test the Rule: Send a scan from a physical campus PaperCut machine to
MEID@maricopa.edu.
- Confirm Receipt: Verify that the scanned document automatically lands in your
MEID@domail.maricopa.edu inbox.
- Check Sent Folder: Verify in your
MEID@maricopa.edu account that an automated forward message entry was created in your Sent folder.
Troubleshooting / Notes
- Missing Verification Email: Check the Spam or Junk folder of your
MEID@domail.maricopa.edu account if the authorization email does not appear within 5 minutes.
- Filter Not Triggering: Ensure the From address is entered exactly as ,
scans@papercut.com without trailing spaces or typos.
Warning: You must click the confirmation link sent to MEID@domail.maricopa.edu during Step 1. The forwarding rule created in Step 2 will fail silently until the target address is verified.
