Configure a Scan Filing Repository using FTP
Installation Checklist
1. Ensure that a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) service is running on the server or workstation where
images scanned by the machine will be stored. Write down the IP address or host name.
2. Create a user account and password for the machine. When a document is scanned, the machine
logs in using the account, transfers the file to the server or workstation and logs out. Write down the
user account and password.
3. Create a directory (folder) within the FTP root to be used as a scan filing location (repository). Write
down the directory name.
Enter the Scan Repository Details via Internet Services
4. At your workstation, open your Web browser and enter the IP address of the machine in the Address
or Location field. Press Enter.
5. Click the Properties tab.
6. Click the Services folder, then the Network Scanning file folder.
7. Click the File Repository Setup link.
8. Select Edit, or a File Repository Setup number in the Default File or Alternate File Destinations list,
then click Edit.
9. Enter a Name to describe the File Repository.
10. Select FTP for Protocols.
11. Enter either an IP Address or Host Name for the server.
12. Enter 21 for Port Number.
13. For Document Path, type in the name of the folder on the remote server that has been set up to
receive device scans. Do not use forward slashes as the device will add them by default.
14. Supply the Login Name and Password for the machine to log into the file server. Note that the
default login method is System (for automatic device log in).
15. Re-enter the password in the Retype Password box.
16. Click Apply.
17. Enter the administrator User Name and Password and click OK. The default is 11111 and x-admin.
18. Test the FTP connection by logging into the scan directory from a remote PC using the user account
and password. Create a new folder within the directory and then delete the folder. If you cannot
perform this function, check the user account access rights and FTP service setup.
