Scanning Documents and Sending the Scanned Data to a Folder
RICOH Always Current Technology updates this function. For details, see List of Newly Added Functions (Release Notes).
To send the data of a scanned original to a shared folder on a computer, create the shared folder on the computer in advance and register the destination folder in the address book.
You also need to configure the settings for connecting to the network from the machine.
You can add a folder destination in the address book easily using Scan to Folder Helper.
Specifying the Destination of Send to Folder Using the Scan to Folder Helper App
Using the SMB 3.0 protocol, you can save a file in the folder that was configured individually to apply encryption.
The scanned file can be also saved to an FTP server.
