Preparation for Sending by Scan to Folder
To send scanned files by Scan to Folder, you must first perform the following:
• Creating a shared folder on a computer running Windows/Confirming a computer's information
• You can create the shared folder under Windows Vista or later, and Windows Server 2003 or
later.
• Files can be sent via SMB using the SMB (139/TCP, 137/UDP) or CIFS (445/TCP) protocol.
• Files can be sent via SMB (139/TCP, 137/UDP) in a NetBIOS over TCP/IP environment only.
• Files cannot be sent via SMB in a NetBEUI environment.
Creating a Shared Folder on a Computer Running Windows/Confirming a
Computer's Information
The following procedures explain how to create a shared folder on a computer running Windows, and
how to confirm the computer's information. In these examples, Windows 7 Ultimate is the operating
system, and the computer is a member in a network domain. Write down the confirmed information.
Step 1: Confirming the user name and computer name
Confirm the user name and the name of the computer you will send scanned documents to.
1. On the [Start] menu, point to [All Programs], then [Accessories], and then click on
[Command Prompt].
2. Enter the command "ipconfig/all", and then press the [Enter] key.
3. Confirm the name of the computer.
The computer's name is displayed under [Host Name].
You can also confirm the IPv4 address. The address displayed under [IPv4 Address] is the IPv4
address of the computer.
4. Next, enter the command "set user", and then press the [Enter] key. (Be sure to put a
space between "set" and "user".)
5. Confirm the user name.
The user name is displayed under [USERNAME].
• Depending on the operating system or security settings, it might be possible to specify a user name
that does not have a password assigned. However, we recommend that for greater security you
select a user name that has a password.
