How can I scan to a folder?

[slimslob]

For what it's worth, I tried years ago to get into web image monitor on an MP6002. After typing admin for username and leaving password blank, I clicked the enter key and got an error. After messing with it for awhile knowing the password wasn't changed I typed admin and left the password blank, then with my mouse clicked the ok key and it worked. WTF right.

A space before or after "admin" will cause that problem as will fat fingering a key next to the enter key.

you are trying to scan the file as a pdf? under the scan settings you can make it a pdf file before you scan.

yes that windows turning off my share settings is a pain in the ............


and yes the one setting this up. you gotta have the user id and password, most cases.

There's a good reason Windows keeps disabling SMB1...

I set up a local account with Windows. I then create a folder in Root (C) I set sharing for that folder, adding the local account I created with Read and Write. I copy the path that is shown after Sharing. I open the Web Image Monitor and go to Address Book. I create a name to use for scanning and go through the Folder setup stuff. It will ask for a path, and I paste the path I got when sharing the folder. I then enter the account (and password) to the local account I created, still in Web Image Monitor by the way, and click Next or Done. I then go back to C: and drag that folder over and create a SHORTCUT to the one in C: All works every time for me. The creation of a local account is for permissions and what not. I may have left something out, and if need be, PM me and I'll type a longer, more in-depth set of instructions. The way you describe, you just don't have permissions for the copier to send, or write, to your computer. You can print and get to WIM and all that, but cannot scan to folder. Doing what I do will get you to scan to folder. There is a STF Scan To Folder tool somewhere on Ricoh's website. It pretty much does the same thing I described.

Hope that helps.

P.S. That local account I set up, I set to Private and I bypass using Microsoft accounts by clicking I don't have Microsoft credentials and to create an account without using Microsoft account, again I hope that makes sense.

That is the best way to do create a default user on a new computer.
