How do I change a password for a scanning folder from a networked kyocera KM4050I

Before you even start, your machines "Network Support" firmware needs to be up to date to be able to connect to a Windows 8.1 PC.
Secondly your machine has to be networked. No USB scanning supported on Ricoh Devices. Create a shared folder on your C: drive called "scans". Share so "everyone" can access the folder. On the MP2852 select scanner mode and tap the block with "Prg Dest" on the screen. Select Folder and Browse for your PC. Enter your PC Username and Password when asked. Find your shared "scans" folder, select it and then tap OK on the screen. Next enter your name and save. You should be good to go. Keep in mind anti-virus and firewalls can block it. Also ensure your PC is part of a "Home Group" otherwise you will not find your PC when you browse from the MP2852. If your PC is not in a "Home Group" then you can just create a "Home Group" under your "Network and Sharing Center" and while you are there ensure that "Password Protected Sharing" is switched off under your "Advanced Sharing Settings" also found in your "Network and Sharing Center".

scan and send works in two ways. It can scan to email, then you have to put smtp server on the email settings and create destination in the adress book. The other way is to scan and send to the file. Create a folder at the destination pc, share it in the network with acces rights for everyone, then create destinatinon entry in the address book. Change it to file, host name would be the ip or host name of the machine you are trying to send to. Folder path is the name of the folder you just created. Login and password would be the l/p for the pc you have created the folder at. and thats it. Should work straight away :)

Yes, the copier needs your password in order to be able to access the PC where the folder is stored. If you update your password in the copier's settings, you should be able to scan to folder fine again.

questions 1st are you able to print to the copier by wireless ? 2nd was ever able to scan to folder on your laptop by wireless ? If the answer to both is yes try and plug your laptop into a network jack with a network cable and see if you can scan then. If you still can't it is possible the path to your folder has changed or your permission (password) has changed to your folder or the folder is not there anymore.

where do u scan e mail or folder? if e mail your smtp server ip may have been deleted/changed if folder the path may have changed/deleted or password changed on the server/desktop

Do you have the send feature or just scan? If just scan you need to install scan gear to the computer you want to scan to and configure scanner, than can pull scan fro canon to any viewer installed on your computer. If you have the send feature, make a folder on the c drive of the computer , share the folder with all permissions. Touch send on screen, reg. new address, touch file, arrow down to smb file, browser button to see your network, highlight your network, touch down highlight your computer name, enter user name and password as shown, log in to your computer from canon and highlight the shared folder and hit ok. you should now be able to send to that shared folder

you will need to have the folder shared on the desktop. you will need user name and password. go to user tools. system settings. administrator. address book. create new user. in new user program, go to folder. enter computer name. browse network. you then enter user name and password for pc. should be done

the copier needs to login into each station... like a user logs in... but it needs admin rights... so whatever account is logging in must have admin rights number one... number 2 the folder must be shared with everyone and they bust have admin rights to the shared folder... you can change that after stuff starts working but for testing thats best... third make sure that you use the ip address... the login username and the login password of the pc you are scanning to... you use the ip address because dns can destroy connection if its not configured right meaning pc name may not be detected... to test ... just goto press scan... then attempt to edit the address book entry for the pc and scroll down to the smb entry and then test... you can test it straight from the copier changing settings and testing until you get a connection... this is after you have made all changes on the pc... now once you get a connection... you are good... any more questions or if you feel this is a bit jumbled... email me and we will set up a chat session and I will walk you through it...
