Scanning to an FTP address

Automatic document feeder (ADF)

Scanner glass

Use the ADF for multiple‑page documents.

Note: The ADF scans only one side of the sheet.

Use the scanner glass for single-page documents, book pages, small items (such as postcards or photos), transparencies, photo paper, or thin media (such as magazine clippings).

The scanner lets you scan documents directly to a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server. Only one FTP address may be sent to the server at a time.

When an FTP destination has been configured by your system support person, the name of the destination becomes available as a shortcut number, or it is listed as a profile under the Held Jobs icon. An FTP destination could also be another PostScript printer.

Creating shortcuts

Creating an FTP shortcut using the Embedded Web Server

1Open a Web browser, and then type the printer IP address in the address field.

Notes:

•View the printer IP address in the TCP/IP section in the Network/Ports menu. The IP address appears as four sets of numbers separated by periods, such as 123.123.123.123.

•If you are using a proxy server, then temporarily disable it to load the Web page correctly.

2Navigate to:

Settings > Other Settings area > Manage Shortcuts > FTP Shortcut Setup

3Enter the appropriate information.

Note: A password may be required. If you do not have an ID and password, then contact your system support person.
