How do i print the faxes on the ricoh 551onf machine not send to a folder on decktop computer but want to use as a network scanner

Scan setup. create a folder on c drive of computer example called scan. then share folder with everyone and make sure it has read/write permission. Then on copier push button says user tools/counter then system setting/administrator tools/ address book management /new program / enter a name then go to folder smb then browse for computer select it. then will ask to log in. which is log in name and password that you use to log on computer with. Note user name needs to be letter or numbers only no symbols or spaces. Example user name: scanner password: scanner123 then select scan folder and press ok then press ok again to save setup.

sending is dfrnt process.no relation with toner.have u recv any cnfrmatry slip after sending fax.?

You can send fax from your computer by installing a driver (LAN-FAX driver). You can download it from the web site of Ricoh.com (it is free).
About the scanner you need to decide if you want to do scan-to-folder or scan-to-email.
In all cases you need to create users so you can have a destination to send your scanners.
If you need any specific help reply to me and i will give the help you need.
See you

What you are saying cannot happen. When you send a fax or make a copy, you are using the same mechanism. Do you mean print outs instead of copies?

Open the doc feeder and clean the scanner glass.

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

Hi,

This is all you need to upgrade your copier to a network printer/scanner and fax.
Good Luck.

Fax machines are sorta like printers, sorta like scanners, and sorta like dial up modems all wrapped into one expensive box.
1. First thing to make sure of is that you are hooked to a phone line. most fax machines have a phone handset that you can make calls from. Call someone and make sure that works. If So, you are able to connect to phone networks, and should have no trouble sending or receiving data. If you have a dead line or no sound, check the line and check the power. (its always the easy stuff that is overlooked, just check it and make sure).
2. If this fax machine has computer interface, (usb port or parallel cable port), see if you can scan with it. Drop a document into the scan area and see if the computer can scan an image from the scanner. If the scanner works, you can scan images into the fax machine to be sent to the fax number. (If your fax machine does not have a scan to computer feature, skip this.)
3. if your fax machine has a print from pc feature, try to print a document to it from your computer. If you can print, then the printer works, and you can receive faxes. (if your fax machine does not have a pc printing feature, skip this)
4. Here is how a typical fax machine works. You place the document or image into the scanner feed area. You press a big button that usually says "fax" and then, a screen pops up saying to dial the number. You dial the number and press SEND. once you press Send, the machine will scan the document, dial the number and sing a little dial up modem song awaiting a response from the receiving machine. the receiving machine acknowledges the fax, and the singing is no longer audible (but it continues because the modem song is actually data transmission/reception). after about 20-60 seconds, the fax completes and the call ends. As for the particular model you have, the functions should be about the same, though the buttons and arrangements may be different. FYI, you can send a fax straight from the PC too, if you have a dial-up fax/modem card.

hi
a rijas working in dubai
my Gestetner MP 4000B nw its showing waste toner bottil is full please advice me how to solve dis problem

Try adding the scanner's IP address in the scnhosts file in the TWAIN folder. Format is similar to the windows hosts file. You'll see a commented out sample entry, just modify that to suit your needs.

This may or may not work for you; we had it working under this configuration but then it stopped for no apparent reason. also note that scanrouter isn't supported under vista. Only advice I've been given so far is to revert to sending scans via SMTP - not ideal!

This model can be used as a printer and a scanner , but you need to add a print scan controller wich you can obtain at any ricoh otlet .
