1 Box scanning with Pagescope Box Operator Bizhub C350 C351 C450 C250 C252 C300 C352 (as of this writing) This is a pull method of scanning, meaning that the computer pulls the scan from the mfp. This is a very reliable method of retrieving scans, as it relies on the IP address of the mfp, which is normally static. This method requires a hard disk to be installed, which is optional on some products. Setting up this type of scanning is a 3 step operation: 1) Create a user box on the MFP. This is essentially a folder on the mfp s hard disk. 2) Create a one touch key pointing to the previously created box as the destination. 3) Configure pagescope Box Operator to connect to the mfp to retrieve these scans. Creating the user box Note: the screenshots below are from a C351. Other models may vary the layout. Access the mfp from a computer on the network by typing the MFP s IP address into the address bar of a web browser, then press enter. When the machines web page loads, click the tab labeled either Box or File. Click on create user box > Public user box > Next Enter the box number you wish to assign this box. A suggested convention is to use telephone extensions as box numbers, as well as one touch labels in the later steps. Enter the same in the Box Name field. If the password field is left blank, there will be no password on the boxes., If needed, enter the desired password in both password fields. Index is the letter of the alphabet this should appear under. I have chosen Etc. as I am using the number 9272 as my box number and box name. The main checkbox is not important in this step. Set the desired auto delete time. The default is 1 day which is normally acceptable. Click Apply to create the box.

2 The box will be created and confirm the operation completed. Click OK. Repeat the previous steps to create additional boxes if neccessary. Creating one-touch destination keys for the boxes To create a one-touch key that links to the newly created boxes, click the Scan tab, then click the New Registration button. Select User Box as the type of scan destination and then click Next. In the Name field, type the name that you wish to appear on the one-touch key on the MFP. For the sake of consistency, I have used the same number as I assigned to the box, though this can be a users name or anything else that will fit. Index is the letter of the alphabet that this should be filed under. Check Main if you want this is to also appear on the first screen of the MFP s address book. Repeat this procedure in order to add to the address book all user boxes that were created in the previous steps. User Box No. is the actual box number where this scan is to go. Clicking the icon to the right of this field will bring up a list of all available boxes, if needed. Click Apply to create the destination key.

Note: Version 1 of Box Operator will not display this dialog and you will need to manually locate the Register MFP function in the program menus. It is recommended to use the latest version, if available. (V 2.5, as of this writing) Note: The version of this software that comes on the C350 user disk is named Box Utility Click on New Registration. Registration name is whatever name you wish to identify this device as. Enter the IP address or DNS name of the MFP into the Device address field. If needed, You can click on Search for device to have Box Operator automatically search the network for compatible MFP s. TCP socket settings do not need any changing from the default. Click OK when done.

Once connected, Box Operator will display the user boxes that are available. Double click the box you wish to retrieve a scan from. In this example, I had previously saved my scan to box number 9272.

5 If the box you select is password protected, A dialog will come up asking for the password, otherwise the box will open to display the scanned files it contains.
