Scanning to an SMB mailbox using Mac OS X

Note – This procedure was performed on Mac OS X 10.4 “Tiger”. It should be similar in other versions of

OS X but some of the screens may differ.

1. Windows file sharing must be enabled in order for the KIP to

see the Mac on the network. Run “System Preferences” from

the dock, or use the mouse to select the apple in the upper

left-hand corner and choose “System Preferences…” from

the pull down list.

2. Under System Preferences, select “Sharing” from

“Internet & Network”

user you will be scanning to.

be easy to remember. The folder in the

example is called “scans”

address of the Mac workstation. The IP address can be found in “About this Mac” as well as

13. Setup the SMB mailbox on the KIP. The destination server is the IP address of the Mac workstation

you are scanning to. For the share path, enter the name of the shared home directory, a

backslash, and the name of the mailbox folder you created on the Mac. In the example, the

home directory is “kip” and the mailbox folder is “scans”. Enter in the appropriate user name

and password used to log on to the Mac workstation and select “Test SMB”. It will change to say

“OK” indicating the KIP is connected to the Mac. Select “OK” to close setup. The mailbox will

now appear in the list on the “scan” screen.
