Bizhub C220 / Scan to Box – Configuring a Samba Share of the box

[chrili_rakete]

Hello!

We are using a C220 in a mixed network with Linux and Windows desktops and have configured several Samba shares on these machines as scanning targets. This works perfect, as long as these desktops are up. In order to have the C220 as a completely independent scanning device, it would be preferable for the users to scan to a 'Box' – i.e. store the scanned files on the internal HDD of the C220 – which is seen as a Samba share in the LAN and can be mounted on the the several desktops.

Is anything like this possible? If not via SMB: maybe another protocol?

Thanks for any advice!

Scan to email? That is platform independent.
Or use FTP server.

Box sharing via SMB is only available on the e series and newer. Very nice for finicky networks that refuse to allow direct share back to the desktop or network share. Emujo

Oo do i understand that correctly. The the boxes are shared straight from the machine? that would make life a lot easier.

Yes, on the e series and newer, go into SMB settings and turn on SMB file sharing, create a new box, add a one touch for it, then \\IPADDRESS and the share is available. EmujoBox creation.jpgcreatebox 1 touch-1.jpgCreating Box One touch-2.jpgSMB Settings.jpgSMBShare.jpg
