Network Scanning

Scan to Network

When you choose Scan to Network, you can scan documents directly to a shared folder on a CIFS server located on your local network or the internet. (For more information about CIFS severs, see the Network Glossary.) The Scan to Network feature supports NTLMv2 authentication.

The details required to use Scan to Network can be entered by using Web Based Management to preconfigure and store the details in a Scan to Network profile. The Scan to Network profile stores user information and configuration settings for use on a network, or the internet.

Note

Scan to Network is available when Scan to Network profiles are configured by using Web Based Management.

To use Web Based Management, type http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of your machine) into your browser and enter your password (the default value is “access”) in the Login field, and then you can configure or change the settings in Scan to FTP/Network in the Scan tab. You can configure up to five Scan to Network profiles and you can choose what profile numbers (1 to 5) to use for Scan to Network settings in Scan to FTP/Network Profile.

In addition to the seven preset file names you can store two user defined file names that can be used for creating an Scan to Network profile.

Choose Scan to FTP/Network in Web Based Management. In Create a User Defined File Name, enter a file name in one of the two user defined fields and click Submit. A maximum of 15 characters can be entered in each of the user defined name fields.

Note

Do not use unsuitable characters in the file name (for example ?, /, \, or *). They may cause a sending error when using Scan to Network.
