Registering an SMB Destination
An SMB destination can be registered or edited using Web Connection. Although character input is a difficult process using the Touch Panel, it can be carried out easily if you use the computer.
In the administrator mode, select [Store Address] - [Address Book] - [New Registration]. Select [Search from Function] - [SMB], then configure the following settings.
Settings | Description |
|---|---|
[No.] | Destination registration number. Select [Use opening number] to automatically assign the smallest available number. When you want to specify a number, select [Direct Input] and then enter a number. |
[Name] | Enter the destination name using up to 24 characters. Assign a name that helps you easily identify the destination. |
[Index] | Select a corresponding character so that the destination can be index-searched by registration name.
|
[Host Address] | Enter the destination computer name (host name) or IP address (using up to 253 characters).
|
[File Path] | Enter the shared folder name of the computer specified in [Host Address] (using up to 255 bytes). The shared folder name is generally referred to as a share name.
When specifying a folder in the shared folder, insert a symbol, "\", between folder names.
|
[User ID] | Enter the name of a user who is authorized to access the folder specified in [File Path] (using up to 64 characters). |
[Password] | Enter the password of the user you entered into [User ID] (using up to 64 characters, excluding "). |
[Limiting Access to Destinations] | Limit access to this destination, if necessary. For details, refer to [Methods to limit access to destinations] . |
For a frequently used destination, select also the [Main] check box. If the [Main] check box is selected, the destination will appear in the main screen of the fax/scan mode, enabling the user to easily select a destination.
