Scan to Folder Mac OS 10.11 Using MPC4500

Re: Scan to Folder Mac OS 10.11 Using MPC4500

Apple's implementation seems to be "broken". Instead I disable Apple's folder/file sharing and instead use an implementation of SAMBA, which is an Open Source *nix version!

Use SMBUp:

SMBUp | eduo.info

Just make sure to add an account for the MFP in Mac OS System Settings, which you then use for the login permissions for SMBUp!

Good Luck and RTFM!!!

Here is a document I found that helped me with a SMB Mac issue on a new MPc3003 install a few weeks ago.

Re: Scan to Folder Mac OS 10.11 Using MPC4500

Hi all...I have a Ricoh MP C401 connected via WIFI.

I have tried everything mentioned in this thread but I still cant scan to the shared folder on my mac. OSX 10.11.5.

The said shared folder can be seen on all computers on the network.

I even tried telneting and changing the auth level to 1.

I changed the registry of smb

I have used my comp ip address and my comp name in the path.

nothing.

As soon as I scan to folder, it says failed like clockwork. Please help!

Any step by step instructions I can follow?

When scanning using MAC, I always use FTP.

So this is what I do... for 10.7 or higher...

First, create your folder, share it.
second, in the terminal, I run the following command;

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

Enter. It will ask for password. Use the password of the power user.
Then I test it by doing this command;

ftp [username]@localhost

Put in your password.

You should see this
ftp>

Write DIR, and find your folder, if you see it, then you're good to go!

FTP protocol for scanning needs three things.
1. Hostname.
2. Folder path, usually just the share name of folder.
3. Username and password.

REMEMBER! MAC IS CASE SENSITIVE. Good luck.

I used FTP for macs all the time. Where you create the folder is important. Go to the "GO" tab from the desktop an then to the "Home" folder to create your share folder. After you have a new folder,right click it and create a "Make Alias" folder and drag it to the desktop.
I also use the ip address of the computer for the host name and instruct the end user on how to fix if it changes

I would advise working from the control panel on the C4500. First go into the second page of the Interface Settings and check that you can ping the IP address of the Mac. Check that you have entered the correct login and password for Folder scanning in File Transfer settings or set it in the address book entry. In the folder tab of the address book settings, the folder path should appear as \\computer name or IP address\path. I have encountered instances where you have to enter the complete path and not just the share name when the folder is not on the root directory of the C: drive. You can test connection from the control panel. You can also click Browse and see if you can access anything on the network. If connection test connects but you still cannot connect when you try to scan, you have a firmware problem or SMB is disabled on the Mac, connection test merely test the validity of the path and authentication information. If Browse ask for a lofgin and password, the your current entry does not have rights to the computer\path, try entering the actual user name and password of the individual who uses the Mac. Point of information, if they are not using passwords, folder is not going to work.

Ok. I can't ping the mac. That is a problem. I don't see why I cant ping it.

The mac is
192.168.2.13
255.255.255.0
gateway is 192.168.2.1


the ricoh is
192.168.2.110
255.255.255.0
gateway is 192.168.2.1

i can print to the machine fine. i can scan to email fine. Why can't it ping? I can ping the ricoh from my mac.

Firewall on the Mac. Check that you are not blocking incoming from the IP address of the C4500.

Re: Scan to Folder Mac OS 10.11 Using MPC4500

Ok so I jumped the gun a bit. Ping works from machine to mac. It wasn't working because I think I was logged into the machine from my mac via browser.

So ping works but still cannot connect

No firewall on mac

any settings on my router i should look out for?
