When a user has a single MFP in a small office, there is no reason that the device should have such an iron-clad security system. I have scanned with my Kyocera FS C-8520MFP only a few times in its five-year life. This is because the task of getting it to recognize my network is practically impossible. Or the task of getting its firmware to save a scanned document to a USB stick is likewise complicated, and I think I only succeeded once before. Kyocera has built a foolish degree of user unfriendliness into this.
Actually I've never successfully saved a scan to my network. Regardless that I enter the network username and password carefully, I get an "incorrect" message. Entering and re-entering the information, especially with a long, complicated Microsoft password, is ridiculous and frustrating, especially when the result is always the same. There has to be a better way.
I hope to either remove the credential requirement altogether, or at the very least, ACCEPT and permanently remember the credentials. Does anybody know if this is possible? This information is nowhere in the user manual. Ironically, I always print my documents on the Kyocera through the network, and it doesn't have a problem with that. How frustrating.
Helpful suggestions are very appreciated.
