Configuring SMB
 | Server Message Block (SMB) is a protocol for sharing resources, such as files and printers, with more than one device in a network. The machine uses SMB to store scanned documents into a shared folder. Depending on your network, you may have to set the computer name and workgroup name. |

Set the time until the SMB connection destination responds.
When sending to an SMB server, the network connection was lost or the response on the server side was slow, causing a wait time timeout on the machine side before the data could be sent or forwarding could be completed. If this happens, you may be able to avoid a timeout by increasing the wait time.

When the [1.0] and [2.0] check box is selected for [Specified SMB Client Versions] but [3.0] check box is not selected, the machine cannot connect to SMB servers that do not support SMB v3.0 encrypted communication. Use the same version of SMB with the SMB server and SMB client. SMB cannot be used if the versions differ. |
