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 sever, see the Network User’s Guide.) The Scan to Network feature supports Kerberos and NTLMv2 authentication.
The details required to use Scan to Network can be entered by using Web Based Management to pre-configure 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 then you can configure or change the settings in FTP/Network Scan Profile in Administrator Settings. You can configure up to ten Scan to Network profiles and you can choose what profile numbers (1 to 10) to use for Scan to Network settings in FTP/Network Scan Settings.
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 FTP/Network Scan Settings 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.
