Registering Contacts for Email, Network, or FTP Scanning - Web Config

You can register a list of contacts for scanning to email or to a network folder or FTP server using Web Config and your computer's internet browser.

Before you begin, make a note of the IP address or host name of the scanner so you can enter it in these steps.

Note: These instructions use Internet Explorer as an example browser.
  1. Start Internet Explorer on a computer that is using the same network as your product.
  2. Type your product's IP address into the address bar and press Enter.
  3. Click More Information.
  4. Click Go on to the webpage (not recommended).
  5. In the upper right corner of the screen, click Log in and enter the Administrator password.
  6. Click on the Scan tab, then click Contacts.
  7. Select the number you want to use for the contact you are adding and click Edit.
  8. Do one of the following:
    • To create a contact for scanning to email, select Email as the Type setting.
    • To create a location for scanning to a network folder or FTP, select Network Folder (SMB) or FTP as the Type setting.
  9. Enter the following information as necessary for your contact:
    • Name: The name to display in your product's contact list.
    • Index Word: Enter a word to identify this entry when searching for it (up to 30 characters). This field is optional.
    • Assign to Frequent Use: If you want to identify the contact as a frequently used address, select On. This makes it quicker to select the contact when you scan.

      Enter the folder path name in one of the following formats depending on the Type setting you selected:

    • Proxy Server Settings: Select whether or not to use a proxy server.
    Note: SharePoint Online is not supported when scanning to a network folder from the scanner's control panel. If you want to save the scanned image to SharePoint Online, use Document Capture Pro after installing the SharePoint Online Connector. See the Document Capture Pro manual for details.
