Configure and use the Scan to Network feature (For Windows)

The Scan to Network feature allows you to scan documents directly to a shared folder on a CIFS server located on your local network or the Internet. The Scan to Network feature supports Kerberos AND NTLMv2. The details required to use Scan to Network can be entered by using the Web Based Management to pre-configure and store the details in a Scan to Network profile.
