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
and Samba (UNIX/Linux) shared folder. This section describes how to configure a shared folder.
IMPORTANT
• Samba 2.2.8a or later is supported.
• To send data from the machine, the optional equipment must be installed. For the equipment needed,
see "Optional Equipment and System Environment Requirements," on p. 1-2.
• 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 Chapter 2,
"Basic Sending Methods," in the Sending and Facsimile Guide.
• The following procedures describe a sample shared folder configuration. Depending on your
environment, the actual configuration procedure may differ.
NOTE
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," in Chapter 3, "Using a TCP/IP
Network." (See p. 3-53.)
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 the
operating system.
