Press [Manual Entry] on the right side of the path field.
The soft keyboard appears.
Enter the path for the folder.
In the following example path, the shared folder name is "user" and the computer name is "desk01":
\\desk01\user
Press [OK].
Depending on the destination setting, enter the user name for logging in to the computer.
Press [Manual Entry] to the right of the user name field to display the soft keyboard.
Depending on the destination setting, enter the password for logging in to the computer.
Press [Manual Entry] for the password to display the soft keyboard.
Press [Connection Test].
A connection test is performed to check whether the specified shared folder exists.
If the message "Connection with PC has failed. Check the settings." appears, see "Troubleshooting When Using the Scanner Function", Troubleshooting.
Check the connection test result, and then press [Exit].
Press [OK].

If authentication is required to access the folder, the login screen appears. Enter the user name and password.
If you change the protocol after entering the path name, user name, or password, a confirmation message appears.
To change the path for the folder that has been entered, press [Edit] on the left side of the destination field. Enter the correct path for the folder, and then press [OK].
The connection test may take time.
You may not be able to press [Connection Test] right after pressing [Cancel] during a connection test.
Even if the connection test was successful, the machine may fail to transfer the file if you do not have write privileges for the file or there is not enough free hard disk space.
You can register the path to the destination in the machine's address book. For details, see "Registering the Path to the Selected Destination in the Address Book".
If the client computer has a fixed IP address assigned to it, you can specify the IP address manually by including it in the path name of the destination folder. For example, if the IP address is "192.168.1.191" and the shared folder name is "user", enter "\\192.168.1.191\user" as the path.
