I have set up a Savin SPC221sf in our office to scan to email through our Exchange server. When I try to set it up through our Comcast account I get a Net Communication Error. I have set up many other Savin systems with scan to email with the same settings. In fact, it is my standard protocol to use our Comcast account for all of our customers, so I'm very familiar with the settings and entering them in any device other than this one.

When I called tech support they said this product will only scan through Exchange or Outlook or using the Control Center application...I'm sure this is incorrect. Otherwise why do they have an SMTP server setting in the device.

Can anyone help?

Question
How do I use Scan to Folder on Windows?

Answer
Documents scanned using your device can be sent over a network to a shared folder. To use Scan to Folder, follow these steps:

Note:

To send scanned documents to a shared folder on a computer, the correct user name, password, and directory must be set.


Files can be sent to folder destinations on the following operating systems:


Windows 2000 / Windows XP / Windows Server 2003 / Windows Vista


Mac OS X


Destinations must be registered via web browser.They cannot be registered from the device itself.

This answer uses a shared folder on Windows XP as an example.


Before you begin

Before you set up the computer to receive documents, check the following:

[+] Confirm the IP address of your computer

Before registering destinations, you must enter the IP address of your computer. To check the IP address of your computer, follow these steps.

On the [Start] menu, click [All Programs], then click [Accessories], and then click [Command Prompt].to start the command prompt.
Enter the command ipconfig, and then hit [Enter].

Confirm the IP address that is displayed.

For example, if the IP address of your computer were 192.168.1.5, the display would show the following.

For more information about the IP address of your computer, contact your administrator.

Close the command prompt.

[+] Confirm the login user name and login password of your computer

Before registering destinations, you must enter the login user name and login password of your computer. To check the login user name of your computer, follow these steps. Your login password is the one you use to log in to Windows.

On the taskbar, click [Start], and then click [Control Panel].

Click [User Accounts].

Check the name for the account you are using.

For more information about the user accounts on your computer, contact your administrator.

[+] Test the network connection between your device and your computer

To save scanned files in a shared folder on your computer, your device and your computer must be connected correctly over the network. To confirm that your device and your computer are connected correctly over the network, follow these steps.

Note: This example uses the IP address 192.168.1.10.

On the [Start] menu, click [All Programs], then click [Accessories], and then click [Command Prompt].to start the command prompt.
Enter the command ping (IP address of your device), and then hit [Enter].

In our example, the IP address is 192.168.1.10, so we enter ping 192.168.1.10.

Note: Make sure not to forget the space between "ping" and the IP address.


If the output resembles that shown in this image, your computer and your device are connected correctly.


If the output of the ping command resembles this image, it indicates that your device and your computer are not connected correctly over the network. For details about network connections, contact your administrator.


Close the command prompt.

Right-click on the folder, and then click [Sharing and Security].

Under [Network sharing and security] on the [Sharing] tab, select [Share this folder on the network] and [Allow network users to change my files].Next, click [OK].

Note:

The shared name can be different from the folder name. When specifying the name for Scan to Folder, use the shared name.
The shared name can be a maximum of 32 alphanumeric characters.



Note:

If this is the first time you are creating a shared folder on your computer, a window like the one shown below may be displayed. In that case, follow these steps.

Under [Network sharing and security], click [If you understand the security risks but want to share files without running the wizard, click here].

The folder becomes a shared folder.

Scan to Folder
I know this is 3 weeks old but the reason that you can not send through Comcast e-mail server is because they are securing the server. Look in the customers e-mail settings in Outlook to get what you need. It is under Authentication and not all MFD's are capable of this.

POP Server: Requires SSL

SMTP Server: Requires POP before SMTP, port 465, and authentication of POP before SMTP or just authentication of just he name and password.

Hope this helps.
