StartPoint Path - General Settings

Display Name

Specify the display name of the folderPath

Enter the path name of the destination folder in the UNC format. You can specify any folder included in the entered path name as the destination.

Example

\\192.168.1.1\shared-folder-name

To specify a local folder as the destination folder, use an absolute path of each platform to enter a local folder. Example: Windows C:\local-folder-name. If your model operates only in Smart Operation Mode and the Send to FTP connector is placed in a workflow whose job processing location is [On Device], specify the path using IP address or FQDN. Path specification using a hostname is not supported.

Click [Test] to check the connection to the folder that has been entered.

In the connection test, authentication is performed using the entered user name, password, and domain, and the authentication method selected in [Authentication Method] is ignored.

Connection test is not available for OIDC login users.

Authentication Method

Specify the authentication method to be used.

The system uses the information specified here when accessing the destination folder and saving the scanned document.

• Proxy User: The system uses the login information specified in [User Name], [Password], and [Domain] for authentication.

• Login User: The login information of the workflow is used for authentication.

The number of characters and character types that can be entered for [User Name] and [Password] vary depending on the specifications of the delivery destination server.

To browse the address book using the Management Console when selecting [Login User], enter [User Name] and [Password].

In the Send to Home Folder function, the system uses the login information of the workflow to distribute the scanned documents to the folder of the logged-in user even if [Proxy User] is selected.

Access to Subfolder

Select the [Enable Subfolder Browsing] check box to allow the user to browse for a folder and select the folder as the destination.

Create a Subfolder

Select the [Enable Subfolder Delivery] check box to create a subfolder under the destination folder automatically.

When the check box is cleared, the scanned documents are directly distributed under the specified destination folder.

When you select the [Enable Subfolder Delivery] check box, specify the following:

• Folder Naming Rules: Specify the subfolder name. A folder is created under the subfolder when you include a separator in the name. For example, enter "abc\xyz" to create the folder "abc" under the root folder, and folder "xyz" under that folder. The scanned documents are saved in "xyz".
• Use one of the following methods to specify the name of the subfolder to be created:

• Enter the folder name manually.
• From the drop-down list, select the metadata element to be used as the folder name.

• Add Suffix to Folder Name: A suffix is added to the subfolder name when another subfolder with the same name already exists. A suffix is a number between 1 and 9999 that increases by 1. When the suffix exceeds 9999, an error occurs and delivery fails. If a folder with the same name already exists while [Add Suffix to Folder Name] is not selected, the scanned document is saved in the existing folder. For details about the procedure to specify the folder name, refer to Automatic File or Folder Naming.

File Naming Rules

Specify the name of the file to be saved in the destination folder. Use either of the following methods to specify the file name:

• Enter the file name manually.
• From the drop-down list, select the metadata element to be used as the file name.

Character Encoding for File (Folder) Name

Select a character code from the drop-down list. The following character codes are supported:

• UTF-8
• Windows Shift-JIS (Only in Japan)
