A Step-by-Step Guide to Mapping Your Printer's Shared Folder

Setting up the scan folder shortcut on your computer is essential for efficient office printing solutions. This process involves mapping the shared folder on the printer's hard disk drive. Let’s walk through the steps together.

Step 1: Note the Printer IP Address

First, we need to find the printer's IP address. Follow these steps:

Navigate to User Functions.
Select Admin.
Enter the password: 123456.
Go to Network.
Click on IPV4.
Locate the IP Address.

The IP Address will look something like 192.168.2.127. This is just an example.

Step 2: Map the Network Drive

Next, we will map the network drive on your computer. Here’s how:

Open File Explorer.
Right-click on This PC.
