Specifying the LDAP Address Search Conditions

LDAP address search allows you to retrieve addresses from the server when using the scanner or fax functions.

To search for specific destinations from the programmed LDAP servers, you can configure search conditions using the control panel.

Important

  • To configure the search conditions, [LDAP Search] must be enabled under the LDAP server settings of Web Image Monitor.
