Specifying the File Server Not Stored in the Address Book

You can select a destination stored in the Address Book or a one-touch button, or specify a new address altogether. You can also recall the stored destinations and settings for scan/send in favorite settings. (See "Favorite Settings.")
This section describes the procedures for specifying a file server on the network that has not been stored in the Address Book as the destination of a send job.
For instructions on specifying a fax number, see "Specifying Destinations Not Stored in the Address Book."
IMPORTANT
The destination that you just specified is not stored in the Local Address Book. It is deleted once the document is sent.
Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/Server 2003/Server 2008 restricts the number of users or clients that can be accessed. Once the limit of users or clients has been reached, it is not possible to send documents to a file server using Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/Server 2003/Server 2008.
If Language/Keyboard Switch On/Off is set to 'On' in Display Settings in Preferences (Settings/Registration), the host name and folder path of the file server destination may not be displayed correctly, so you may not be able to refer to them.
NOTE
To view the detailed information of a selected destination, select the destination → press [Details].
You can change, edit, or delete destinations on the Scan and Send Basic Features screen before scanning. (See "Checking/Changing a Destination" and "Deleting a Destination.")
The maximum of destinations can be specified at the same time is 256. If you specify a group, which is made up of several destinations, each destination is counted as a separate address.
If you frequently send documents to the same destinations, store these destinations in the Local Address Book beforehand. (See "Storing File Server Addresses in the Address Book (Local).")
Set the following items when sending to a file server:
Protocol
Host Name
Folder Path
User
Password
For examples of the settings that are needed to send documents to a file server, see "Network."
Using the Keyboard
You can specify a file server as the destination directly from the keyboard displayed on the touch panel display. Press [Host Name], [Folder Path], [User], and [Password] to specify the file server settings.
Using the Browse Key (Windows (SMB))
If you select [Windows(SMB)] as the server protocol, you can specify a file server connected to a specific network by pressing [Browse] on the File screen. You can either specify a file server from a workgroup, or specify the domain name of an Active Directory Server on the machine.
Using the Host Search Key (Windows (SMB))
If you select [Windows(SMB)] as the protocol, you can specify a file server connected to a specific network by pressing [Host Search] on the File screen.
Using the Keyboard

Specify each setting → press [OK].
If you select [Windows(SMB)] as the server protocol, you can specify the file server by pressing [Browse]. For instructions on using the Browse key, see "Using the Host Search Key (Windows (SMB))."
If you select [Windows(SMB)] as the server protocol, you can specify the file server by pressing [Search Host]. For instructions on using the Host Search key, see "Using the Host Search Key (Windows (SMB))."
[Host Name]:
Press [Host Name] → enter a host name → press [OK].
A host name is a name assigned to a host computer that provides services on the Internet. A specific host name is assigned to each host computer to identify it on the Internet. In this entry box, enter the name of the file server on the network as the destination of the send job.
When [FTP] or [WebDAV] is selected as the server protocol, you can also specify a port number after the host name address by entering a colon (:) and the port number.
Example: 192.168.100.50:21000
When sending to an IPv6 host, specify the following settings for [Host Name].
[IPv6 Address]: <Port Number>
Example: [5aed:90a0:bc05:01d2:568a:2fc0:0001:12ee]:21000
Make sure to enter the same port number for the Host Name as the one specified for the FTP server or WebDAV server to which you are sending your documents.
When [WebDAV] is selected as the server protocol, the HTTP protocol is used if you specify 'HTTP://' as the scheme at the start of the host name, and the SSL + HTTP (HTTPS) protocol is used if you specify 'HTTPS://' as the scheme at the start of the host name. Specifying 'HTTPS://' as the scheme enables SSL communications between the server and the machine. However, the route between the server and the machine is only encrypted, and a server certificate validity check is not performed using a CA certificate.
[Folder Path]:
Press [Folder Path] → enter a folder path → press [OK].
A folder path is a series of characters that signify the location of the folder. Specify a folder in the file server as the destination of the send job.
[User]:
Press [User] → enter the user name → press [OK].
If [Windows(SMB)] is selected as the server protocol, enter the required user name information in the manner shown below:
To enter the user name only
Example: user_name
Maximum 20 characters
To enter the user name and the domain name
Example: domain_name\user_name
Domain name: Maximum 15 characters
User name: Maximum 20 characters
To enter a UPN (User Principal Name)
Example: user_name@domain_name.com
Maximum 128 characters
[Password]:
Press [Password] → enter a password → press [OK].
Setting the password is optional.
After pressing [OK], the password appears as asterisks (********) on the File settings screen.
NOTE
UPN (User Principal Name) can be used only if you are sending to a computer belonging to a domain operated with Active Directory.
When sending to a file server on the Internet using WebDAV, proxy server settings may be required, depending on the environment of the destination. (See "Settings Common to TCP/IPv4 and TCP/IPv6.")
