Setting Scan Policies 
Scan policies allow you to manage how users are allowed to scan files, create folders, and assign 
passwords to their folders on the printer. 
1.  In CentreWare Internet Services, click Properties>Services. 
2.  Click Scan to Mailbox>Scan Policies. 
3.  Under Scan Policies, select or clear: 
−  Allow scanning to Default Public Folder allows users to scan files to the Default Public Folder 
without requiring a password. 
−  Require per job password for public folders requires users to type a password for every job 
they scan to the public folder. 
−  Allow additional folders to be created allows users to create additional public or private 
folders on the printer. If Require password when creating additional folders is disabled, 
assigning a password to the folder is optional and creates a public folder. If Allow additional 
folders to be created is disabled, the Create Folder button does not display on the Scan tab. 
−  Require password when creating additional folders requires users to type a new password 
every time they create a folder. This feature only allows users to create private folders. 
−  Prompt for password when scanning to private folder requires users to type the password at 
the control panel every time they scan a job to a private folder. 
−  Allow access to job log data file allows users to print a job log containing details for any 
scanned image. Third-party applications can be used to search, file, and distribute jobs based 
on job log information. 
4.  Under Password Management, type a minimum and maximum password length, and select any 
password policies that you want to apply. 
5.  Click Apply.
