Scanning to a User’s Home Folder
The Scan to Home feature allows users to scan to their home folder as defined in your LDAP directory,
or to a shared folder on the network.
Before you begin:
• Enable Workflow Scanning. For details, see Configuring Workflow Scanning on page 106.
• Configure Network Authentication. The authentication server and the server that you are
scanning to must have the same domain. For details, see Network Authentication on page 56.
If you want to scan to the home folder defined in an LDAP directory:
• LDAP server settings must be configured. For details, see LDAP on page 37.
• Each user's home folder location must be defined in the LDAP directory.
If you want to scan to a shared folder on the network, create a shared folder on your network with read
and write access privileges.
