Setting SMB Scan To Folder

Applicable on the following products: MP C2500 / MP C3000 MP C3500 / MP C4500

This guide explains the items required and how to setup Scan To Folder using SMB. In order to Scan To Folder you must ensure that a shared folder has been set up on the destination PC, and that the appropriate share and ntfs permissions have been applied to the folder, (you can scan to a FAT32 folder in which case the only permissions to set are share permissions). Information regarding this setup can be found in section one. Scan to folder works easiest when sending to the ip address of the destination PC, therefore this requires static IP addressing. You are able to scan to the computer name but in order to do this the machine must have the appropriate domain name and DNS entries registered. Items also required are the PC users logon name and password, please note that if the users password changes then it will need to be manually changed on the machine as well. Information regarding this setup can be found in section two.
