The folder path can either be the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) or the IP address of the server. Be sure that the folder path (e.g., \scans) follows the FQDN or IP address. FQDN example: \\servername.us.companyname.net\scans IP address example: \\16.88.20.20\scans NOTE: The FQDN can be more reliable than the IP address. If the server gets its IP address via DHCP, the IP address can change. However, the connection with an IP address might be faster because the printer does not need to use DNS to find the destination server. c. To automatically create a subfolder for scanned documents in the destination folder, select a format for the subfolder name from the Custom Subfolder list. To restrict the subfolder access to the user who creates the scan job, select Restrict subfolder access to user. d. To view the complete folder path for scanned documents, click Update Preview. e. From the Authentication Settings list, select one of the following options: - Use credentials of user to connect after Sign In at the control panel - Always use these credentials NOTE: If Always use these credentials is selected, a user name and password must be entered in the corresponding fields. f. In the Windows Domain field, type the Windows domain. NOTE: To find the Windows domain in Windows 7, click Start, click Control Panel, click System. To find the Windows domain in Windows 8, click Search, enter System in the search box, and then click System. The domain is listed under Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings. NOTE: If a shared folder is set to be accessed by everyone, values for a workgroup name (default is "Workgroup"), a user name, and password must be entered in the corresponding fields. However, if the folder is within a particular user's folders and not Public, the user name and password of that user must be used. NOTE: An IP address might be necessary instead of a computer name. Many home routers do not handle computer names well, and there is no Domain Name Server (DNS). In this case, it is best to set up a static IP address on the shared PC to alleviate the problem of DHCP assigning a new IP address. On a typical home router, this is done by setting a static IP address that is on the same subnet, but outside the DHCP address range. g. Click OK. ● Option two: Save to an FTP Server. Option 1: Configure the printer to save to a shared folder or FTP folder 85
