Creating shortcuts

Instead of entering the entire FTP site address on the control panel each time you want to send a document to an FTP server, you can create a permanent FTP destination and assign a shortcut number. There are two methods for creating shortcut numbers: using a computer or using the printer touch screen.

Creating an FTP shortcut using the Embedded Web Server

  1. Type the printer IP address into the address field of your Web browser.

    Note: If you do not know the IP address of the printer, then print a network setup page and locate the IP address in the TCP/IP section.
  2. Click Settings.

  3. Under Other Settings, click Manage Shortcuts.

    Note: A password may be required. If you do not have an ID and password, get one from your system support person.
  4. Click FTP Shortcut Setup.

  5. Enter the appropriate information into the boxes.

  6. Enter a shortcut number.

    If you enter a number that is already in use, then you are prompted to select another number.

  7. Click Add.

Creating an FTP shortcut using the touch screen

  1. On the home screen, touch FTP.

  2. Type the address of the FTP site.

  3. Touch Save as Shortcut.

  4. Enter a name for the shortcut.

  5. Verify that the shortcut name and number are correct, and then touch OK. If the name or number is incorrect, then touch Cancel, and then reenter the information.

    If you enter a number that is already in use, then you are prompted to select another number.

  6. Touch Send It to start the scan, or touch touch the home icon to return to the home screen.
