How can I scan to a folder?

[slimslob]

One other way to scan is to the document server of the Ricoh. You can then access through WIM by logging in as a user and not an administrator. Learned that from a customer

Don't do the SMB 1, you will regret it. Hackers will crypto lock your computer. FTP servers are not secure and a pain to set up.
Just simplify this whole problem. Get a network storage device like a WD mycloud and put a shared folder(s) that everyone you give permission to can access. I've given this solution to several clients with older Ricoh's, and they also appreciate the digital storage available on the drive too.

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.

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.

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...

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

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.

If the MP 7502 cannot be upgraded to SMBv2/v3, be aware that every time Windows installs an update it will turn SMB1 off. You can however use Scan to a Memory device, see operator instruction manual. That takes the network out of the picture entirely.

Yes, I somehow gained access to the web image monitor interface. I did everything in the video suggested by our other friend who tried to help. I do not have antivirus, my firewall is turned off, SMB 1.0 is activated, the file is shared safely. I wonder if I'm having this problem because I didn't set a password for the new user I'm sharing files with?

no matter which method you try to setup the scans. at some point you have to have access to the web image monitor. this is so you can tell the copier where to direct the scans. i have never used filezilla on a ricoh, only on kyocera. i use either use the scan config tool for ricoh. or i it up with the other method listed above. and as slim mentioned, make sure those permissions are on. and some firewalls will block it, your IT might have to allow the scans. i have also seen typically what someone says is their antivirus. but it also has a firewall that blocks it.

You can try this method

Hello. I did the steps in the video one by one. I activated SMB 1.0 and walked through the video step by step. Everything is great, the file where my scans will go has also appeared on the machine. But I get network wall error from the machine. I granted all necessary permissions from the network sharing center and turned off the firewall. I scan but I can't import the pdf to file. Where could the problem be?

Thank you guys for your help, but let me explain it to you more clearly. I provide the connection between my computer and my machine with the help of a switch. We can print when we give the IP we gave to the machine to the switch. Likewise, we can log in to the Ricoh interface. (Web Image Monitor) But we don't know the username and password. We type admin as the username and leave the password blank and we get an error. That's why I want to scan using FTP over the IP and switch we have assigned. I know it's very confusing and bad

FTP confusing, NO. FTP bad, extremely. It is the least secure method of file sharing. If that switch is connected to the internet you expose your computer to every hacker in the world by installing an FTP server.
