Scaninng

[Acadien]

What is your favorite scanning setup unless ask otherwise.
would it be...

scan to email
Scan to SMB

or else?

Re: Scaninng

email....

A poll would work here.

Re: Scaninng

either but email seems more popular

Re: Scaninng

i prefer email. a lot of sites i go to dont have local DNS so if IP changes it breaks SMB/FTP. If they dont have IT they pretty much never know the login password for the router to reserve addresses neither.

and if they dont have email account i just get them to create a gmail account.

so for most installs emails are preferred

Re: Scaninng

SMB and Email, partly. If i am allowed to build what i want, i do both:

Have the MFP in its own network which can only communicate with a printing server. The printing server functions as the "door" to the other networks to allow printing. It can only route specific ports that are needed for the wanted functions. if you want to scan, here is how it works:

The Machine will scan using SMB to the printing Server. On the printing server, it will check which SMB Scan Target was selected and then Scan to the Email address. For Problems with the Email Providers, for example email provider server problems, i also have registered a backup address so if a email cant be send to the wanted email, it'll send to a general, local address everyone can access. Not a single Scan problem in 5 years occured.
And the printing Server is just an 30$ Raspberry PI i bought on ebay.

Re: Scaninng

Here we have constant problems with scanner. It may be a lack of knowledge, but we realized that to configure SMB there is always a problem. My last case is a fight between a Bizhub 4750 and Windows 10. The desire I have is to put the two together and explode. LOL I realize that by email is more faithful.

Re: Scaninng

How'bout scanning to a NAS with FTP?
I don't like SMB cause it always gets f'd up after some time.

SMB gets fcked every now and then if you are using windows yes.
I'd still use SMB to scan in NAS. Would not realy like to use a 40 year old shitty protected protocoll for scanning.

Sounds like you're doing something wrong. I have normal, easy SMB setups at 100+ Customers, rarely hear anything back from them except they want a new scan user

This model required specific firmware level to use SMBv2 which normally is used by Win10.
As for setting SMB scan it is always hit and miss depending on Windows version they have, antivirus software, 3rd party firewalls and so on I'm not always happy camper with SMB scan although I made quite a few.

There really is some problem or error and I can't find where. But we have other models with SMB and everything goes well, although I prefer by email.

Didn't know about this information. I gave permission to Windows 10 to operate with SmB 1.0/2.0/3.0.

It still doesn't work. I noticed that in network settings, in the SMB options, there is no option to change workgroup among other functions that also do not appear. I believe that's my problem.

Unless you have actually gone into the registration editor and enabled smbv1, scanning to folder from a machine that does not support SMB v2/3 will fail. Even if you have enabled smb v1, the next Microsoft update will disable it.

What is Windows 10 type? You give me Anydesk when we both have time and will try my best to help fellow tech.

I agree. This is exactly why i do the print server stuff. No need to have not needed updates for smb protocol. Only time it can fail is when there is no power. From there you can use webdav or email to access the files...
I can only say it again, a raspberry pi costs like 40-50$... If your customer does not have those 50$, you should ask yourself how he will pay the next bill when you come by because of smb problems
