Using a NetBIOS Network
Setting Up a Computer as a File Server
To send data from the machine to a computer on your network, you need to specify the settings of
the computer for receiving data. You can send data over a NetBIOS network to a Windows or Samba
(UNIX/Linux/Mac OS X) shared folder. This section describes how to configure a shared folder.
Samba 2.2.8a or later is supported.
Optional equipment is required to send data if you are using the imageRUNNER 3245/3235/3230/3225. For the
equipment needed, see “Optional Equipment and System Requirements for Connecting to a Network,” on p. 3-2.)
This section describes only the procedures for setting up a computer receiving data sent from the machine. To send
data from the machine to a server on the network, you must enter an address setting from the control panel. For
instructions on how to specify recipient address settings, see e-Manual > Send/Fax.
The following procedures describe a sample shared folder configuration. Depending on your environment, the
actual configuration procedure may differ.
Connecting to a TCP/IP Network
A computer that receives data sent from the machine must have TCP/IP client software installed and
must be enabled for TCP/IP network use. For details, see the manuals provided with your operating
system.
You can send data over a TCP/IP network from the machine to an FTP server. For instructions on how
to set up an FTP server, see “Setting Up a Computer as a File Server,” on p. 5-30.
