Configuring the WebDAV transmission environment

Setting flow

The WebDAV transmission is a function that sends original data scanned on this machine to a specified folder in the WebDAV Server.

WebDAV, which is an extension to the HTTP specification, provides the same security technologies as HTTP. Use SSL to encrypt a communication with the WebDAV server; you can send a file more securely.

When using the WebDAV transmission, follow the below procedure to configure the settings.

  1. Configuring network settings of this machine ( [Network Settings] )

  2. Configuring basic settings for WebDAV transmission ( [Configure basic settings for the WebDAV transmission] )

  3. Configuring settings to suit your environment
