Example of Configuration for a Personal Computer

This explanation is an example for creating the shared folder on the desktop of the user currently logging in to the computer.

The user who logs in to the computer and who has administrator authority can access the desktop folder and the document folder that are under the User folder.

Set this configuration when you DO NOT permit reading and writing to another user to the shared folder on a personal computer.

  • Place for creating shared folder: Desktop

  • Folder path: C:\Users\xxxx\Desktop\scan_folder

  • Access permission via network (Share Permissions): Everyone

  • Access permission on file system (Security): do not add, or add User/Group names to permit access

  1. Log in to the computer where the shared folder will be created by the administrator authority user account.

  2. Start explorer.

  3. Create the folder on the desktop, and then name it "scan_folder".

    For the folder name, enter between 1 and 12 alphanumeric characters. If the character limit of the folder name is exceeded, you may not be able to access it normally by the varied environment.

  4. Right click the folder, and then select Properties.

  5. Click Advanced Sharing on the Sharing tab.
