Configuring the SMB Send Environment
Setting flow
The SMB Send is a function that sends original data scanned on this machine to a shared folder in a specified computer. The shared folder is shared using the SMB (Server Message Block) protocol.
When the DNS server or WINS server is installed for name resolution, register each server.
Using LLMNR (Link-local Multicast Name Resolution) enables you to perform name resolution even in an environment that does not contain a DNS server or WINS server. This option is only compatible with Windows computers. It is useful to resolve the name in the IPv6 environment.
When using the SMB Send function, follow the below procedure to configure the settings.

Configuring settings to suit your environment
Tips
- To specify a destination computer using the host name, configure the appropriate machine settings and prepare the appropriate environment so that name resolution can be performed with DNS, WINS, or LLMNR.
To perform name resolution with DNS, a destination computer can be specified with the "computer name (host name)" (example: host1) or "full computer name (FQDN)" (example: host1.test.local).
To perform name resolution with WINS or LLMNR, a destination computer can be specified only with a "computer name (host name)" (example: host1).
Configure basic settings for the SMB transmission
Configure the settings for using the SMB Send function.
Select [Network] - [SMB Setting] - [Client Setting] in administrator mode of Web Connection (or in [Utility] - [Administrator] of this machine), and configure the following settings.
Setting | Description |
|---|---|
[SMB TX Setting] | When using the SMB TX function, set this option to ON (default: ON). |
[SMB Authentication Setting] | Select an authentication method for SMB transmission according to your environment (default: [NTLM v1/v2]).
|
Using the WINS server
When WINS is installed in your environment, register the WINS server.
Select [Network] - [SMB Setting] - [WINS/NetBIOS Settings] in administrator mode of Web Connection (or in [Utility] - [Administrator] of this machine), and configure the settings. For details, refer to [WINS/NetBIOS Settings].
Resolving the name using LLMNR
Using LLMNR (Link-local Multicast Name Resolution) enables you to resolve the name even in an environment that does not have a DNS server. This option is only compatible with Windows computers. It is useful to resolve the name in the IPv6 environment.
Select [Network] - [TCP/IP Setting] - [TCP/IP Setting1] in administrator mode of Web Connection (or in [Utility] - [Administrator] of this machine), and set [LLMNR Setting] to ON (default: ON).
Using in the DFS environment
If DFS (Distributed File System) is installed in your environment, enable DFS.
Select [Network] - [SMB Setting] - [Client Setting] in administrator mode of Web Connection (or in [Utility] - [Administrator] of this machine), and set [DFS Setting] to ON (default: ON).
Using the Scan to Home function
Configure the settings to use the Scan to Home function.
This function is available when the user's home folder is registered in Active Directory while user authentication by Active Directory is installed on this machine.
Select [User Auth/Account Track] - [Scan to Home Settings] in administrator mode of Web Connection (or in [Utility] - [Administrator] of this machine), and set [Scan to Home Settings] to ON (default: OFF).
Constructing a single sign-on environment for the SMB transmission
When user authentication by Active Directory is enabled, single sign-on can be set on this machine.
Select [Network] - [SMB Setting] - [Client Setting] in administrator mode of Web Connection (or in [Utility] - [Administrator] of this machine), and configure the following settings.
Setting | Description |
|---|---|
[SMB TX Setting] | When using the SMB TX function, set this option to ON (default: ON). |
[SMB Authentication Setting] | To use the single sign-on function, select [Kerberos] (default: [NTLM v1/v2]). |
[Authentication Setting if Kerberos Fails] | If [Kerberos] is selected in [SMB Authentication Setting], select whether to perform NTLM authentication when Kerberos authentication has failed (default: [Disable NTLM]).
|
[Single Sign-On Setting] | Configure the single sign-on function for SMB transmission. By using the user authentication information (login name and password) of this machine as SMB destination authentication information (user ID and password), you can reduce the number of steps required to specify SMB destination authentication information, enabling you to configure a single sign-on environment for SMB transmission.
|
[User Authentication(NTLM)] | When using single sign-on, set this option to ON (default: ON). |
Using the Scan to Authorized Folder function
Configure the settings to use the Scan to Authorized Folder function.
Using the Scan to Authorized Folder function allows you to limit SMB transmission destinations only to computers that can be connected using user authentication information.
Select [User Auth/Account Track] - [Scan to Authorized Folder Settings] in administrator mode of Web Connection (or in [Utility] - [Administrator] of this machine), and set [Scan to Authorized Folder Settings] to ON (default: OFF).
If [Scan to Authorized Folder Settings] is set to ON, the following restrictions will be applied:
Addresses cannot be specified by direct input for scan transmission.
Users cannot save files to User Boxes.
Users cannot send files from User Boxes.
Users cannot use annotation User Boxes.
Users cannot select addresses from transmission log.
Users cannot use the URL notification function.
To use Scan to Authorized Folder, configure the following settings in addition to [Scan to Authorized Folder Settings].
Setting | Description |
|---|---|
User Authentication | Enable user authentication. |
SMB Send | Enable the SMB send function. |
SMB Registration | Register the SMB destinations.
|
Limit user's registration/change of address | Disable user's registration/change of address. |
Limit Public User Function | When public users' accesses are allowed, disable the scan function for public users. |
Delete LDAP server registration | If the LDAP server is not used, delete the registration information of the LDAP server from this machine. |
Checking whether there are sub folders when searching for an SMB sharing folder
Specify whether to check if there are sub folders when this machine searches for an SMB sharing folder on the network.
Select [Network] - [SMB Setting] - [SMB Browsing setting] in administrator mode of Web Connection (or in [Utility] - [Administrator] of this machine), and configure the settings. For details, refer to [SMB Browsing setting].
