Setting the SMB protocol
You can set the SMB network properties to enable access to 
this equipment and SMB printing from a Microsoft Windows 
network. Enabling SMB allows you to enable the file sharing 
service in addition to SMB printing. Furthermore, if the WINS 
server is used to allow file sharing and printer sharing across 
segments, you must specify the WINS server address so that 
this equipment is visible from the different segments.
Memo
• When you press [NetBIOS NAME], the on-screen keyboard 
is displayed.
For details of the on-screen keyboard, see the following 
page:
 P.300 "On-screen keyboard"
Note
• When you select [DISABLE] for [SMB PROTOCOL] or [FILE 
SHARE] for [RESTRICTION], the Save as File to MFP Local 
function is disabled.
• If this equipment is set to log on to the domain in the SMB 
Session of TopAccess (administrator mode) but 
“Workgroup” is displayed, logging on to the domain network 
has failed. In that case, check whether the Windows Server 
and the Top Access SMB Session settings are correct.
• If you set “Domain” for Log-on setting in the TopAccess 
(administrator mode) SMB Session, and power ON this 
equipment or press [APPLY NOW] after changing the 
network settings of this equipment, the equipment logs on to 
the Windows domain network.
• You can enter only alphanumeric characters and “-” 
(hyphen) for [NetBIOS NAME].
• Do not enter an IP address that starts with “0” (i.e. 
“0.10.10.10”), “127” (i.e. “127.10.10.10”), or “224” (i.e. 
“224.10.10.10”) in [WINS PRIMARY] and [WINS 
SECONDARY]. If you enter such an address, the equipment 
cannot communicate with the WINS server.
• If you enter “0.0.0.0” for [WINS PRIMARY] and [WINS 
SECONDARY], this equipment will not use the WINS server.
• When [DYNAMIC] or [NO AUTO IP] is selected for 
[ADDRESS MODE] in the TCP/IP settings, this equipment 
can acquire the IP address for [WINS PRIMARY] and [WINS 
SECONDARY] from the DHCP server.
