Adding Scan to Folder

Scan to Folder is helpful for when you need to scan to a folder on a local computer or server. As scan to folder stays within your local network, it is not affected by the speed of your internet. Folder scanning is also quicker than scan to email. Scan to folder goes directly to a shared folder on a local computer or server. Scan to folder is also more flexible from a file size limitation, many email servers will only handle emails with a 20mb size or less (approximately 20 full colour pages).

 

The folder that you choose on the local computer could also include a shared folder within a cloud based folder structure such as DropBox or One Drive.
