Setting a Shared Folder as a Save Location
The feature of scanning to shared folders is also called "Scan to SMB" because the feature uses Server Message Block (SMB), a Windows-specific technology. SMB is a protocol for sharing resources, such as files and printers, with more than one device in a network (Configuring SMB). To configure the machine for saving your scanned documents into a shared folder in the network via SMB, specify the location of the shared folder from a computer in advance. This section describes how to specify the save location by using the Send Function Setting Tool.

You can also use the Remote UI to specify the location of the shared folder as save destination by registering the folder to the Address Book. Registering Destinations in the Address Book from Remote UI. Registering Destinations from Remote UI |
