Connecting to an SMB/CIFS Network and Configuring a Shared Folder

Windows Server 2003/Server 2008/Vista/7/Server 2008 R2/8/Server 2012

It is recommended that you consult the administrator for the network you are using when configuring the file server.

The number of users or clients that can access a server running Windows Server 2003/Server 2008/Vista/7/Server 2008 R2/8/Server 2012 is limited. After this number of users or clients is reached, it is not possible to send to a server running Windows Server 2003/Server 2008/Vista/7/Server 2008 R2/8/Server 2012.

The procedure below uses items of Windows 8 as an example. Depending on your environment, the items you see on the screen may differ.

Set a recipient address using the control panel.

There are three methods for specifying the recipient address; selecting the desired address from the list that appears when you press [Browse], searching for the address by pressing [Search Host], or entering the address using the keyboard on the touch panel display.

Sample recipient settings:

Server side settings:

[Computer Name]/[NetBIOS computer name]:	swan
[Share name]:	share

Create a folder called 'Images' within share, and then specify Images as the recipient for sending.

The machine's address settings:

<Protocol:>:	Windows (SMB)
[Host Name]:	\\swan\share (Shared folder path)
[Folder Path]:	\Images
[User Name]:	User name entered on the server
[Password]:	Password for the above user

IMPORTANT
Up to 128 alphanumeric characters can be entered for [Host Name] on the control panel. Also, up to 255 alphanumeric characters can be entered for [Folder Path]. Specify the server settings within the character limit. If you change the language of the touch panel display, [Host Name] and [Folder Path] may not appear correctly, or you may not be able to browse the directories. If the language of the touch panel display differs from the computer used as a master browser, [Host Name] and [Folder Path] may not appear correctly, or you may not be able to browse the directories.
