Scanner: Using Scan to SMB with Windows Shared Folder
It is possible to send a large volume of scan data from the machine to the shared folder created on the Windows computer (supporting SMB protocol) on the network.
From a computer connected to the network, you can access the shared folder, and import and save a large volume of scan data.
A large volume of scan data (more than 10 MB) is sent more securely than by E-mail. You can share data easily without configuring a full-scale FTP server.
• Examples Introduced in This Section
Create a shared folder "Scan-SMB" on the desktop of the Windows computer and send the scan data (PDF) with the Scan to SMB function from the machine.
•Intended Environment
Network | The machine and the SMB server (Windows computer) are connected to the network. |
SMB server OS | Windows 7 Enterprise |
Image Controller | Image Controller IC-602 |
* The sample screen may be different from the actual display depending on your system environment and application version/revision.
•Workflow
STEP 1: Creating a shared folder on the Windows desktop
•Create and set a shared folder on the Windows computer.
STEP 2: Checking the SMB server setting
STEP 3: Registering the SMB server to the machine
•Register the destination information on the touch panel of the main body.
STEP 4: Sending the scan data to the SMB server
•Precautions
How to create and set a shared folder differs depending on the settings and environment of the computer used.
If you use Scan to SMB with Image Controller IC-602 and Mac OS X 10.7 or later, the following settings are required.
Only NTLMv2 is supported. For details about the setting, refer to Controller NIC Setting Menu: Configuring the Network Information of the Controller.
Match the date and time of the machine with those of a computer (including a time zone). For details about the date/time setting of the machine, refer to Date/Time Setting: Setting the Date and Time.
If using Image Controller IC-415 or Image Controller IC-308, Mac OS X 10.7 or later does not support the SMB protocol. To send scan data to a Macintosh computer, use Scan to FTP.
You can use Scan to SMB on Mac OS 10.6 or earlier (Mac OS 10.3 or later) because it supports SMB protocol.
Creating a shared folder on the Windows desktop
Create a shared folder on the Windows computer. You can receive the scan data sent from the machine to the shared folder and share it with a client computer.
Create a shared folder on the Windows computer.
Example: A folder named "Scan-SMB" is created on the desktop of Windows 7.
