A network technician is setting up a newly deployed multifunction device (MFD) to enable Scan-to-Network Folder (SMB) for a department file server. In what sequence should the technician perform the following configuration steps?
- 1Create the destination folder on the target file server and set the appropriate SMB share and NTFS write permissions for a dedicated scan account.
- 2Access the MFD Embedded Web Server (EWS) using a web browser and navigate to the network scanning management section.
- 3Enter the destination UNC share path and the dedicated scan account credentials into the MFD's SMB configuration settings.
- 4Place a test document on the MFD scanner glass and initiate a scan to verify file delivery to the shared folder.
Answer
The correct order of steps is: 1) Create the destination folder on the file server and assign permissions; 2) Access the MFD Embedded Web Server (EWS); 3) Configure the UNC share path and credentials in the EWS; 4) Perform a test scan from the physical MFD control panel.
Configuring Scan-to-SMB requires preparing the host environment first. The server folder, share permissions, and NTFS permissions must be established so the MFD service account has write access. Next, the technician accesses the Embedded Web Server (EWS) of the MFD to manage settings. The technician then inputs the specific UNC target path (e.g., \\server\share) and service account credentials. Finally, an operational test from the physical MFD scanner ensures end-to-end integration and verifies write access.
