Configuring destination settings

Location

Select Network Folder or FTP , and then configure the selected destination.

Notes:

To use the LDAP features, the printer must be configured to use an LDAP server. For more information, see Configuring LDAP .
For a list of protocols used or required by the application, see the Readme file.

Network Folder
Use	To
Address	Type the IP address of the network folder. You can type up to 255 characters. Note: The following characters are not allowed: /, :, *, ?, “, <, >, \|, + Add the LDAP path attribute to any section of the field by typing %u . For example, \‍\‍local‍\‍%u\‍share .
LDAP Path Attribute	Type the path attribute for the LDAP server.
Path Suffix	Type the path suffix for the LDAP server.
LDAP User ID Attribute	Type the attribute for the User ID on the LDAP server. Note: This setting appears only when the LDAP Path Attribute field is not empty.
Use Service Account for File Access	Specify the source from which the user ID is validated against the LDAP server. By default, the user ID that is set in the authentication options for the application is used. When enabled, this option uses the user ID to access the application from the control panel. This option lets all accounts scan to the network folder. Note: This setting appears only when the LDAP Path Attribute field is not empty.
Domain	Type the Windows domain for the destination if the destination resides within a different domain than the printer.
WINS Server	Type the WINS Server address if the printer has difficulty connecting to a network folder destination.
Broadcast Address	Type the network Broadcast Address if the printer has difficulty connecting to a network folder destination.

FTP
Use	To
Address	Type the server name. You can type up to 255 characters. Note: The following characters are not allowed: /, :, *, ?, “, <, >, \|, + Add the LDAP path attribute to any section of the field by typing %u . For example, server/%u/share .
Port	Enter the port number used to communicate to the FTP server. The default port for FTP is 21; for SFTP, 22.
SFTP	Enable a secured FTP connection.
LDAP Path Attribute	Type the path attribute for the LDAP server.
Path Suffix	Type the path suffix for the LDAP server.
LDAP User ID Attribute	Type the attribute for the User ID on the LDAP server. Note: This setting appears only when the LDAP Path Attribute field is not empty.
Use Service Account for File Access	Specify the source from which the user ID is validated against the LDAP server. By default, the user ID that is set in the authentication options for the application is used. When enabled, this option uses the user ID to access the application from the control panel. This option lets all accounts scan to the network folder. Note: This setting appears only when the LDAP Path Attribute field is not empty.

Authentication Options

Use	To
Use Kerberos authentication	Use a Kerberos ticket to authenticate to network destinations. Notes: This option is visible if the location is set to Network Folder . For printers running the Embedded Solutions Framework (eSF) version 2.0, if you select this option, then make sure that Use MFP authentication credentials is also selected.
Guest (Network Folder)/Anonymous (FTP)	Allow the user to access the destination without prompting for authentication credentials.
Use MFP authentication credentials	Prompt the user to enter the authentication credentials set on the printer when they access the application from the printer control panel. The authentication settings for the printer must be configured appropriately for this option to work correctly. Note: Select this option if your printer has been configured to use access controls and a security template has been assigned to the “Device Apps” or “Use Profiles” access control, depending on your device. For more information, see the Embedded Web Server — Security Administrator's Guide for your printer.
Prompt for username and password	Prompt the user to enter authentication credentials. Note: Do not select this option if your printer has been configured to use access controls.
Use static username and password	Use the authentication credentials for the destination as specified in the Username and Password fields, without requiring the user to enter them at the touch screen.

Scan Settings

Adjust the settings to determine the default settings to use for each scan.

Note: Some scan settings are available only in some printer models. For a complete list of available scan settings, see the printer User’s Guide .

Use	To
Paper size	Specify the paper size of the original document.
Orientation	Specify whether the original document is in portrait or landscape orientation.

Resolution	Adjust the quality of the scanned document. If users are scanning photographs, drawings with fine lines, or documents with very small text, then increase the resolution setting. Notes: Higher resolution settings result in larger files. The maximum scan resolution for color images is 300 dpi, and the maximum for grayscale images is 600 dpi.

Scan Adjustments

Select each setting to set the default value.
If you want to allow users to modify the default values from the printer, then select the check box next to the appropriate feature. If you want to prevent users from modifying the default settings, then clear the check box.

Note: When the check boxes are selected, users may access these features from the printer using both the Scan Adjustments section of the application or the Advanced Scan Preview. To disable Scan Adjustments in multiple locations, allow user modification only when the default value is set to Off .

OCR (Convert to Text)

Notes:

Make sure that AccuRead OCR is installed.
To use this feature, select an OCR-supported file format for the scan destination. For more information, see Supported scan file types .
For best results, OCR-supported file formats are automatically set to 300 dpi.
A printer hard disk is required. For more information, see the printer User’s Guide .

Use	To
OCR Recognized Languages	Set the languages you want the OCR to recognize.

Bar code

Notes:

To use the bar code settings, create bar code templates using Bar Code Discovery. For more information, see the Bar Code Discovery User’s Guide or contact your Lexmark representative.
The application scans for bar codes before performing any other operations, including blank page removal. If bar codes are enabled, then remove any blank pages from the document before scanning.

Select	To
Enable bar codes on first page	Enable the printer to recognize bar code templates on the first page of a scanned document. Select existing bar code templates from the “Choose a template” drop-down list.
Enable bar codes on other pages	Enable the printer to recognize bar code templates on subsequent pages of a scanned document. Select existing bar code templates from the “Choose a template” drop-down list.

Page Break

Page Break enables the printer to break a print job into multiple jobs based on numeric values or bar codes set by the administrator.

Note: This feature is not compatible with JPEG and multiple-page TIFF file formats.

Select	To
Enable Page Break	Enable the printer to break a job to multiple jobs.
Number of pages between jobs	Allow users to specify the number of page per file. Note: This setting is enabled only when Enable Page Break is selected.
Barcode	Enable the printer to break a job based on a bar code specified in the first page bar code template. For more information, see Bar code . Notes: Select the Enable bar codes on first page check box in the Bar code section to enable bar code page break. To include the bar code page template, select the Include Barcode page check box. This setting is enabled only when Enable Page Break is selected.

Select

Enable Page Break

Enable the printer to break a job to multiple jobs.

Number of pages between jobs

Allow users to specify the number of page per file.

Note: This setting is enabled only when Enable Page Break is selected.

Barcode

Enable the printer to break a job based on a bar code specified in the first page bar code template. For more information, see Bar code .

Notes:

Select the Enable bar codes on first page check box in the Bar code section to enable bar code page break.
To include the bar code page template, select the Include Barcode page check box.
This setting is enabled only when Enable Page Break is selected.

File

Note: To avoid errors, select either Append time stamp or Over-write existing file . If neither setting is selected and a file using the default name exists in the destination, then the application cannot save to the destination. An error also occurs.

Use	To

Other Options

Select	To
Enable basic XML index file	Generate a basic XML index file in the destination folder.
