Overview
This function sends the scanned file to a folder that is shared out on the network. SMB stands for Server Message Block and is a protocol used for file and printer sharing by all major operating systems today. SMB shares are normally visible by browsing the network, though actual access to the shares is normally restricted by the use of permissions.
In order to successfully configure SMB scanning, the following information is required:
1
The IP address or hostname of the computer or server where the scans are being delivered to.
2
The name of the network share where the scans are being delivered to.
3
The log in credentials (user name and password) for the computer or server where the scans are being delivered to.
NOTE If you are configuring Scan to SMB on an end users computer you will need access rights to share a new folder. You will also require the end user to input their computer log in details (user name and password) as part of the configuration. You should not ask the end user to disclose their log in details.
If the shared folder resides on a network server then you may need to assist the network administrator on how to configure the MFD. It will be the network administrator’s responsibility to:
Create the shared network folder structure.
Provide administrators credentials (user name and password) in the User ID and
Password fields.
Map the shared drive to the end users PC so the end user can access their scanned jobs.

Right click on the folder and select Properties.

Host Address: This is the IP address or host name of the computer or server that you are scanning to – not the IP address of the MFD.
The setting for Host Address will depend on the type of machine you are scanning to:
End users computer
Most end users computers are configured with DHCP meaning they could receive different IP address every day. In such cases you should use the computers host name and remember to tick the box Please check to enter host name.
NOTE You can find the host name with the ipconfig/all command.
Server
Most network servers are configured with static IP addresses in which case the servers IP address can be entered.
NOTE The server host name can also be used if required.

Notes:
Scan to SMB may require Firewall settings to be changed to allow Inbound connections from the MFD through SMB ports on the Destination computer or Server .
The ports that can be used by SMB are:
Directly over TCP, port 445
On UDP ports 137, 138 & TCP ports 137, 139 (NetBIOS over TCP/IP)
If scanning fails the first thing to check is that these ports are open.
