Thank you QBert69, nice SMB command, will give it a try!
Just FYI there is a thread for your request: Connectivity

Re: Scan setup to Mac PC

Albert, what version of Mac OS did you SMB scan into? (it mustve been an earlier version?)

My apologies, I rarely see posts going onto a second page of discussion.
It was OSX 10.9.6

Thanks Habik!

I just posted the info where the info was needed!...It should have originated in the connectivity thread, but since I saw it in the KMC thread, I went ahead and posted anyway! I wasn't trying to highjack it, just finalize it with some info that I know is pertinent!

CHEERS!

the Kyocera doc just seems to show the usual MFP and Mac config we always did before Apple changed their SMB protocol right ?

thus i am puzzled by this...
so Albert, you got it to scan to folder...but you say you didnt do anything on the Mac but change folder name? you didnt type in the SMB Terminal command posted by qbert69 to force the Mac into SMB1 mode?

Re: Scan setup to Mac PC

Hi from a new Mac user (Yosemite) - I am migrating completely away from Windows/PC land. This is for qbert69 or an equally knowledgeable colleague. I have an FS1028MFP, which a few years ago I recall was a challenge to setup scanning on my Dell PC. Eventually I succeeded using SMB in the address book of the Command Centre, after giving up with trying USB/TWAIN. Happily I found a thread that specified exactly how each of the SMB fields should be entered.

Now I am having exactly the same problems with my new Mac, with no solution in sight after fruitless phone support sessions with Kyocera and Apple. Then I found this fascinating thread. It looks as if it should be the answer to my problem, but after following your instructions I still can't get anything into my scans folder. The MFP does however recognise the host and instantly reflects any changes made to the hostname. But after each attempted scan I get a 1101 or 2101 error.

Re the Mac terminal command to force the Mac to use SMB 1, I would be really grateful if you would reproduce it exactly as it should appear in the terminal window, as I am new to the syntax of the Apple command line. After I ran the command, no file has appeared in my Preferences folder, so obviously I did something incorrect. Are those >> characters just fillers, for example?

Also, please would you write out similarly exact instructions on filling out the SMB fields in Command Centre. Should I append ".local" after the hostname? Is port 139 then one to go for? Assuming my user name is fortygreen and the intended scan folder is at users/fortygreen/scans, what exactly do I enter in the path and the Login User name fields, including any leading forward slashes. Should I enter my password regardless of having shared read &write access to Everyone to the scans folder?

Sorry these questions are very basic, but of course a single error will prevent success and the 1101/2101 errors I get are not very informative.

Many thanks in advance for your advice.

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.

---

NOTE!!!!: YMMV!....Good Luck and Let Me Know How It Goes!!!



PS--I have only used this in one instance on a customer's Apple computer that was interfacing with a Savin MFP. Regardless of what brand of MFP you have, it should still work...you're just forcing the Apple computer back to use an older protocol.

Re: Scan setup to Mac PC

Are you sure that command line is precisely correct?

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

I have never written Apple/Unix commands, but nowhere can I find any reference to the meaning of the >> characters, and running the command does not even create a file.

Cheers

Re: Scan setup to Mac PC

Sorry, forget that last comment. I see that >> is a pipe command to append text to a file. But, and here is the big but, I cannot even find an nsmb.conf file on my Mac, even after running a show hidden files command. Has it disappeared in Yosemite (10.10)? I seem to be running out of workaround options to get scans off this FS1028 MFP, as I am also unable to reach a mail server to send scans by email, and neither SMB nor FTP work. At least it prints over the network, but I think I will have to keep a PC hooked up as the last resort to receive scans. Regards.

Re: Scan setup to Mac PC

Try this...

instead of back slashes in your network path "\\computer-pc\scanner",

Use forward slashes instead! "//computer-pc/scanner"

I seem to recall this bit of quirkyness a while back at a insurance establishment that had Macs and PC's!

...see if it works.

for the Kyocera it would be "HOST: //computer-pc", "PATH: /scanner" ...no quotes of course!


Here is forum of a person who had to do this on an HP machine to get it to work!

Good Luck and Let me know how it goes!

Re: Scan setup to Mac PC

I have finally succeeded in transmitting scans from my Kyocera FS-1028MFP into a folder on my MacBook Pro running Yosemite. I shall try to describe what works for me as explicitly as possible for the benefit of similarly non-technical users.

Re: Scan setup to Mac PC

Just a postscript correction. The nsmb.conf is on my Mac (it was a hidden file) and reads: smb_neg=smb1_only. Nevertheless, I have still unable to scan via SMB, and receive error message 1102. But as FTP works OK there is not much motivation to continue pursuing the SMB angle.
