This document explains how to enable and configure the Scan to Network Folder function. The printer has a feature that enables it to scan a document and save it to a network folder. To use this scan feature, the printer must be connected to a network; however, the feature is not available until it has been configured. There are two methods for configuring Scan to Network Folder, the Save to Network Folder Quick Set Wizard for basic setup and Save to Network Folder Setup for advanced setup.
Review the following information before you set up the Scan to Network Folder feature.
To set up the Scan to Network Folder feature, the printer must have an active network connection.
Administrators need the following items before beginning the configuration process.
Administrative access to the printer
The fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) (e.g., \\servername.us.companyname.net\scans) of the destination folder OR the IP address of the server (e.g., \\16.88.20.20\scans).
The use of the term "server" in this context refers to the computer where the shared folder resides.
The network folder must be set up as a shared folder for the Scan to Network Folder feature to work. For more information about setting up a shared folder, see Set up a shared folder (c04431534).

Use one of the following methods to set up Save to Network Folder.
This option opens the setup wizard that is in the HP Embedded Web Server (EWS) for the printer. The setup wizard includes the options for basic configuration.
Before you begin: To display the printer's IP address or host name, touch the Network button on the printer's control panel. Enter the IP address into a Web browser to open the EWS.
Click the Scan/Digital Send tab. The E-mail and Save to Network Folder Quick Setup Wizards dialog opens.
Click the Save to Network Folder Quick Set Wizard link.
On the Add or Remove a Save to Network Folder Quick Set dialog, click Add.
Quick Sets are short-cut jobs that can be accessed on the printer Home screen or within the Quick Sets application.
The Save to Network Folder feature can be minimally configured without creating a quick set. However, without the quick set, users must enter the destination folder information at the control panel for each scan job. A quick set is required to include Save to Network Folder metadata.
On the Add Folder Quick Set dialog, complete the following information:
In the Quick Set Title field, type a title.
Name the Quick Set something that users can understand quickly (e.g., "Scan and save to a folder").
From the Button Location drop-down, select one of the following options to indicate where the Quick Set button will display on the product control panel:
Quick Sets Application
Home Screen
In the Quick Set Description field, type a description explaining what the Quick Set will save.

FQDN example: \\servername.us.companyname.net\scans
IP address example: \\16.88.20.20\scans
The FQDN can be more reliable than the IP address. If the server gets its IP address via DHCP, the IP address can change. However, the connection with an IP address might be faster because the printer does not need to use DNS to find the destination server.
From the Authentication Settings drop-down, select one of the following options:
Use credentials of user to connect after Sign In at the control panel
Always use these credentials
If Always use these credentials is selected, a user name and password must be entered in the corresponding fields, and the printer’s access to the folder must be verified by clicking Verify Access.
In the Windows Domain field, type the Windows domain.
To find the Windows domain in Windows 7, click Start, click Control Panel, click System.
To find the Windows domain in Windows 8, click Search, enter System in the search box, and then click System.
The domain is listed under Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings.
Click Next.
On the Configure File Scan Settings dialog, set the default scanning preferences for the Quick Set, and then click Next.
Review the Summary dialog, and then click Finish.
On the Save to Network Folder Setup dialog, review the selected settings, and then click Finish to complete the setup.
This option enables advanced configuration of the Save to Network Folder feature using the HP Embedded Web Server (EWS) for the printer.

There are two types of destination folders to select from:
Shared folders or FTP folders
Personal shared folders
There are two types of folder permissions to select from:
Read and write access
Write access only
The following information describes how to configure the folder settings.
Use one of the following options to configure the destination folder.
To save scanned documents to shared folders or FTP folders, complete the following steps:
If it is not already selected, select Save to shared folders or FTP folders.
Click Add.... The Add Network Folder Path dialog opens.
On the Add Network Folder Path dialog, select one of the following options:
Option one: Save to a standard shared network folder
For more information about creating shared network folders see Set up a shared folder (c04431534).
If it is not already selected, select Save to a standard shared network folder.
In the UNC Folder Path field, type a folder path.
The folder path can either be the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) or the IP address of the server. Be sure that the folder path (e.g., \scans) follows the FQDN or IP address.
FQDN example: \\servername.us.companyname.net\scans
IP address example: \\16.88.20.20\scans
The FQDN can be more reliable than the IP address. If the server gets its IP address via DHCP, the IP address can change. However, the connection with an IP address might be faster because the printer does not need to use DNS to find the destination server.
To automatically create a subfolder for scanned documents in the destination folder, select a format for the subfolder name from the Custom Subfolder list.
To restrict the subfolder access to the user who creates the scan job, select Restrict subfolder access to user.
To view the complete folder path for scanned documents, click Update Preview.
From the Authentication Settings list, select one of the following options:
Use credentials of user to connect after Sign In at the control panel

To find the Windows domain in Windows 7, click Start, click Control Panel, click System.
To find the Windows domain in Windows 8, click Search, enter System in the search box, and then click System.
The domain is listed under Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings.
If a shared folder is set to be accessed by everyone, values for a workgroup name (default is “Workgroup”), a user name and password must be entered in the corresponding fields. However, if the folder is within a particular user’s folders and not Public, the user name and password of that user must be used.
An IP address might be necessary instead of a computer name. Many home routers do not handle computer names well, and there is no Domain Name Server (DNS). In this case, it is best to set up a static IP address on the shared PC to alleviate the problem of DHCP assigning a new IP address. On a typical home router, this is done by setting a static IP address that is on the same subnet, but outside the DHCP address range.
Click OK.
Option two: Save to an FTP Server
If an FTP site is outside the firewall, a proxy server must be specified under the network settings These settings are located in the EWS Networking tab, under the Advanced options.
Select Save to an FTP Server.
In the FTP Server field, type the FTP server name or IP address.
In the Port field, type the port number.
In most cases, the default port number does not need to be changed.

Add numbering when job has just one file (ex. _1–1) |
Select this setting to add numbering to a file name when the job is only one file instead of multiple files. |
File Type |
Select the file format for the saved file. Select the User editable check box to make this setting editable at the printer control panel. |
High Compression (smaller file) |
Select this setting to compress the scanned file, which reduces the file size. However, the scanning process for a High compression file might take longer than for a Normal compression file. |
PDF encryption |
If the file type is PDF, then this option encrypts the output PDF file. A password must be specified as part of the encryption. The same password must be used to open the file. The user will be prompted to enter a password prior to scanning their job if one has not been set prior to starting the scan. |
Resolution |
Set the resolution for the file. Higher resolution images have more dots per inch (dpi), so they show more detail. Lower resolution images have fewer dots per inch and show less detail, but the file size is smaller. |
Quality and File Size |
Select the quality for the file. Higher-quality images require a larger file size than lower-quality images, and they take more time to send. |
Color/Black |
Specify whether copies are to be printed in color, black and gray, or black only. |
Suppress blank pages |
If the Suppress blank pages option is enabled, blank pages will be ignored. |
Metadata File Format |
Use the drop-down list to select the file format for metadata information. |
Create Multiple Files |
Select this setting to scan pages into separate files based on a predetermined maximum number of pages per file. |
