Check the shared folder settings.

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 shared folder.

note:

The following procedures describe a sample shared folder configuration. Depending on your environment, the actual configuration procedure may differ.

Windows 98/Me

note:

- If a suitable Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003/Vista machine is available on your network, it is recommended that you configure that machine as a file server instead of using a Windows 98/Me machine.

- In the following procedures, items displayed on the screen for Windows 98 are used; items might differ depending on your operating system.

1. Specify the NetBIOS settings.

- Confirm the settings you entered click [OK].

- Click [OK] to close the properties dialog box of the shared folder.

3. Set a destination address using the machine's control panel.

Sample destination setting:

- If Language Switch in Common Settings is set to [On], the Host Name and File Path of the file server destination may not be displayed correctly, so you may not be able to refer to them.

- If the language of the touch panel display differs from the computer used as a master browser, [Host Name] and [File Path] may not be displayed correctly, or you may not be able to browse the directories.

- You can send data using the following formats. A DNS server is required for the latter case:
