Scan setup to Mac PC

[AlbertK]

Good day all
Anyone know or has documentation on how to setup a TA-3010i scan to folder function on a Mac PC ?
Thank you in advance....

you must activate ftp server and use ftp, smb does not work fine in the new versions of mac os.

...So setup scan to mail then ?

[jeromeblanks]

You have to turn on FTP services in the terminal, since mac doesn't support scan to SMB..


Open the Terminal and enter the following command...


sudo -s launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ftp.plist

then enter the user password and hit enter.. FTP services will be enabled..

now go set up scan the same way you set up SMB but under FTP and it uses port 21 the same as Scanner File Utility


Hope this helps

Had a fellow with Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks and followed one of the below procedures:

OS X 10.9 Mavericks Workaround for SMB
---
Upgrading is never easy. There is always some new bug introduced as a feature. -
That said, you may have noticed that connecting to NAS shares worked perfectly in OS X 10.8.x
but doesn't anymore in OS X 10.9 (Mavericks). Here's the lowdown:
---
DISCLAIMER: Though these are pretty harmless changes, any changes you make are at your own risk.
---
Issue:

Clients logging into File Services over SMB with OS X 10.9 experience hanging connection upon login attempt.
---
Root Cause:

OS X 10.9 now utilizes a new SMB2 stack written by Apple. Apple's SMB2 implementation is not compatible
with many other SMB2 NAS products on the market today while Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 works just fine.
In short, its an Apple bug.
---
Workaround Option 1:

To force your connection to be SMB1, simply type:

cifs://servername

instead of:

smb://servername

when connecting to a Windows or NAS share.
This is by far easier and requires no real configuration changes.
---
Workaround Option 2:

To force all connections to be SMB1:

Open A terminal window
paste in the following line followed by the return key(should be all on one line):

echo "[default]" >> ~/Library/Preferences/nsmb.conf; echo "smb_neg=smb1_only" >> ~/Library/Preferences/nsmb.conf

What the command does:

Creates a file called nsmb.conf in your home directory at the path ~/Library/Preferences/nsmb.conf.
Adds directives to force SMB connections to use the SMB1 protocol. This is slower but stable.
---
How to remove the workaround:

Open a terminal window
paste in the following at the prompt and then hit the return button:

rm ~/Library/Preferences/nsmb.conf
---
Notes:

Its a good idea to restart your mac before trying to connect to your storage again. This will clear any hung SMB processes from previous attempts to connect to your storage before implementing this workaround.

Also, See the attached PDF for Kyocera Specific Info.

Cheers!

thanks for the info. next time ill try smb.

i dont get it? the Kyocera doc just shows the usual setup of the Mac and the MFP...doesnt Maverick (and Yosemite) now use a different version of SMB thus why it doesnt work anymore?

That's why I included the info on setting up the SMB in Mac OS X Terminal Application!

It basically forces Apple OS X to roll back and use an earlier version of SMB/CIFS!

Thank You qbert69 !!
I have an appointment with the IT guy on site tomorrow and will try your method.
I will keep you up to date.

PinPoint scan...It's not our fault apple decided to mess with SMB. I know I'm not a fan of messing around with terminal commands that might stop working at some point.
