Note: This solution applies to DocuShare 6.x.
Prerequisites
· You must already have a share created on your network and a user account and password that has full access rights to the share.
1. Enable SMB Scanning in DocuShare

If both fields are left empty or DocuShare is unable to locate the information provided in them, then DocuShare will create a Temporary Scan Repository automatically and assign it a handle.
Note: Only one location can be can be configured in DocuShare to place the scanned images. If scanning to more than one location is required, then options such as DocuShare Cover Sheets (Glyphscan) or third party software will be required.
f. The File Expiration Period field (default value is 4 hrs.)
Note: The File Expiration Period specifies the number of hours a scanned document is allowed to remain in the repository before it is removed. Set to zero to disable this feature.
g. The Temp Directory field (The pathname of the local directory the scan service uses to store temporary files)
h. The Document Title Prefix field (Specifies the prefix to add to the title of all scanned documents. If this value is not set, then the title starts with the name of the WCP scan template. However, the optional title property value defined in the XST template always takes precedence)
i. Enter the Network Domain (if Applicable), network Login username and Password in the fields provided. This information should match the information provided at the WCP to access the share.
j. Enter the DocuShare Domain and DocuShare Username. The information specified in these boxes will designate who owns the documents being scanned into DocuShare.
k. The Polling Interval (Milliseconds) field (default value is 15000 and the min value is 1000 ms)
l. Enter the path to the Watched Input Folder Directory Path box. Example \\servername\sharename or if the shared folder is on the DocuShare Server C:\sharename
m. Select Yes or No to the other options on this page depending on your environment and preferences Rotate Buffer, Allow Read Access to Scanned Documents, Display Temporary Scan Repository to Users, Integrate Scan Cover Sheet Feature with Scan Service, Disable XST File Checking, Add Timestamp to Title, Add Job Sequence to Title, and Add XST file as Instance Property
n. Make sure the information is correct, and then click the Apply button.
3. Setting up SMB Scanning on the WCP 35/45/55
Note: This solution assumes Microsoft Internet Explorer is being used as the web browser. Other web browsers may vary.

Note: The Default File Destination is recommended only if it is not already in use; however, note that Xerox CentreWare Network Scanning and Xerox Freeflow SmartSend only work with the Default File Destination. Modifying the existing scanning information in a Repository will affect everyone currently scanning to that Repository. Contact your System Administrator before making any changes.
f. If necessary, enter a name, for example Purchasing Department, in the Friendly Name field.

l. Enter the scan user name and password in the fields provided. This account must have full access to the share on that was created on your network.
m. Make sure the information is correct, and then click the Apply button. The Enter Network Password window may display.
n. If necessary, enter the system login of admin (must be lowercase) and the system password in the fields provided, and then click the OK button. The File Repository Setup window displays.

4. Test Scan from the WCP to DocuShare
From the WorkCentre Pro,
- Select the Network Scanning tab. You may have to select the All Services tab first.
- Select the template you created for Scanning to DocuShare and verify that the friendly name you entered for the repository to DocuShare appears under “Destination Details”.
Note: The template you created will have an @ symbol in front of the template name because it was created through CentreWare Internet Services.
- Load a document in the document handler and press the green Start button to scan.
- If confirmation reports are enabled, you can inspect the Network Scanning Confirmation Report Job Status for the word ‘Success’.
- If it says ‘Success’, look in DocuShare for the scanned image to appear in the Temporary Scan Repository or destination that was configured in the Scan configuration page of DocuShare.
Note: If you do not see the document in DocuShare, then you may want to check the shared folder on your network to verify if it has been pulled into DocuShare yet. If the scan is still sitting in the shared directory, then may have to disable the XST file checking option . For more information on this search our knowledge base for Disable XST file checking.
