Introduction
SmartScan is the complete scan center for your MFP. With just the touch of a button on the panel, users
can scan to an e-mail address they either select from the address book or enter on the touchscreen, or
scan to a predefined folder on the network. Logged in users have the added convenience to scan to their
personal e-mail address or home folder with just one click.
Using the fax function, SmartScan operates like a regular fax machine. Users only have to enter the fax
number or select it from the address book. Additional fax cards or cables are unnecessary, and there are
no monthly costs for the devices as all faxes are sent through the fax server.
SmartScan also greatly simplifies the changing of file format, page size, resolution, duplex or simplex
and other scan settings, making scanning easy and fast for everyone.

* HyPAS capable devices do not have an integrated hard disc and require an external memory card (CF
or SD Card according to the device specifications) to execute HyPAS applications.
Devices do not support Scan to DFS functionality. They require installation of the SmartScan.pkg file
SmartScan-DFS.pkg will not work on these devices.
SmartScan can be set up as default application on the device. This means it is displayed as default on
the panel when the device is switched on.
Login as administrator
Open the Common Settings
Select Default Screen
Click Change
Select SmartScan from the list of applications and click OK
Log out
Removing or deactivating the application should be done by your authorized KYOCERA service
technician.
Open the System Menu, scroll to the next page and press the Application button. If prompted to
authenticate, login with an administrator account. The application screen will list all applications
currently installed on the MFP.
22.12.2014 8 | 36
Select the application SmartScan.
22.12.2014 9 | 36
Setting up SmartScan: Administrator Settings
When SmartScan is started for the first time, the settings pages will automatically open and you can
perform all required settings.
To define or change the administrator settings later, you can always access the administrator settings
from within the application.
Start SmartScan
Press the key combination (administrator code) 23646
The admin settings will open.
By entering the administrator code, the settings can be accessed. Here the administrator can define the
parameters for the application functions.
22.12.2014 10 | 36
Application Settings Main Screen
The administrator settings have been structure to allow an easier and faster navigation through the
menus.
Click the function that should be shown by default upon start of the application.
22.12.2014 11 | 36
Changing the administrator code
Here you can change the default access code for the administrator settings.
Scan Settings
The scan settings can be opened from the main interface. In this administrator screen you can define the
default scan settings.
22.12.2014 12 | 36
Defining default document name
Enter the default file name that should be automatically entered when scanning.
Check the box if you want to use the local address book, and determine whether you want to use only e-
mail address book entries.
22.12.2014 13 | 36
External address book (3 step configuration)
In the external address book configuration the administrator can specify the LDAP settings that are used
for the address book. In the first step, the LDAP settings (address, port and search base) have to be
entered. In the second step, the user DN (distinguished name) has to be entered.
22.12.2014 14 | 36
The LDAP field displayName will be used from the application automatically to show the names of the
different persons in the address book.
Now the administrator has to define the second required LDAP field. If the administrator selects for
instance the LDAP field mail as destination, the user will get as destination the value the from the LDAP
field mail when he selects an entry from the address book.
Likewise, if the administrator selects the LDAP field faxID as destination, the fax number of the person
selected from the address book will automatically be entered as destination.
An LDAP browser can be helpful to determine the LDAP settings e.g. the Base DN of your LDAP / Active
Directory tree.
22.12.2014 15 | 36
22.12.2014 16 | 36
Destination Settings
Enter your fax server settings like prefix and suffix for sending faxes.
22.12.2014 17 | 36
Defining default e-mail settings
Enter the fax server settings like prefix and suffix for sending e-mails.
Shared Folder
Enter the settings like host IP address, path login name and password for the shared folder. This folder
will be used as default folder for scan to folder.
Home Folder
22.12.2014 18 | 36
The administrator can select whether the home directory should be taken from the AD / LDAP, or defined
by SMB Server Host Name and User Name. Check the desired option.
Requirements:
The additional Home Directory attribute of each user must contain the path of the users Home
Directory.
The Home Directory must be a SMB directory.
22.12.2014 19 | 36
Below you find a sample configuration.
22.12.2014 20 | 36
Home Directory by User Name
If the administrator selects the option to take the users home directory by user name, he can define the
host address and he can allow the user to modify their home directory.
Requirements:
A folder of for each user must exist on the server (Home Folder).
E.g. c:\Users\User1
The home folder of the user on the server must be a shared folder (SMB shared). The shared
folder should have per default the name of the user.
22.12.2014 21 | 36
Therefore the syntax of the shared folder of each user is per default:
\\[Server Name]\[User Name]
Example:
Server name: 10.189.9.49
User name: User1
Shared folder: \\10.189.9.49\User1
If a user wants to scan to his home folder for the first time with SmartScan, they have to enter their
normal password. After that, the user can scan to his home folder without entering the password.
Further the user can modify his home folder if allowed by the administrator, but only if the currently saved
SMB access parameters are not a valid combination.
Important note for Administrators: If the share name is different from the user name, please make sure to
check the option "Allow to modify users home path".
The users credentials will be encrypted. If the users password changes, he has to re-enter it.
The administrator is able to define three DFS root access folders that will be shown on the user interface.
These DFS roots can be used as public shared folders.
Note: Please use the fully qualified host name and the fully qualified domain name.
22.12.2014 22 | 36
User defined DFS Root
If the user selects the button labelled User Defined in the interface, he is able to define his personal
DFS root access. The access data will be stored by the application, and if the user accesses the folder
again, he does not have to re-enter the access data.
In case of Network - , Local - or HyPAS Expansion Authentication the application remembers the
complete user login parameter. If no authentication is implemented, the application remembers the last
defined DFS root access except the password.
Note: Please use the fully qualified host name and the fully qualified domain name.
22.12.2014 23 | 36
If the user selects one root directory and steps into the desired subdirectory, he is able to scan to this
directory.
22.12.2014 24 | 36
Configuration for Scan to WebDAV
The administrator can configure the WebDAV root folders after pressing the Destination Settings button in
the Application Settings.
The administrator can define the root folder as a WebDAV folder by clicking the respective checkbox on
the right. Here he can also specify whether SSL should be used for secure data transfer.
In the entry fields, the full host name and the full domain name must be entered. Also it is important to
check whether MFP device time and the server time are synchronized otherwise the authentication
could fail. By clicking the Test button, access to the WebDAV directory can be simulated.
22.12.2014 25 | 36
Limitations: WebDAV access is currently only confirmed with a Windows IIS server with Basic
Authentication.
The same settings wizard will appear that is also shown on the device, and you can configure SmartScan
from the PC remotely instead of going to each device.
22.12.2014 26 | 36
FAQs and Known Issues
If you encounter any activation error message, please switch off and restart the device. This should clear
the message and enable you to activate SmartScan.
There are different options to log in. Any option has to be set up by the administrator according to the
specifications for authentication. Please check the relevant sections of the user manual of the device.
You can use the local authentication to login at the device.
You can use network authentication
You can use a 3rd party application to login. This can be for instance the KYOCERA Login
Manager, or it can be an Accounting solution that offers login functionality. Depending on this
application, it will pass user data to SmartScan.
Due to the devices specifications, certain requirements exist for DFS support.
22.12.2014 27 | 36
Make sure that the MFP is a member of the domain where the DFS Server is running.
If it is not possible to place the MFP as a member of the domain where the DFS Server is
running, please use the FQDN Name to access the DFS server.
Example: server1.mydomain.local
Known issue: When authentication at the MFP is turned off, you are not able to provide a user name or
SMB Home Dir for the Home Directory.
In case of any browser display options, e.g. in combination with remote configuration via Command
Center, we recommend either of the following:
