2: What is scan to FTP?

As well as being able to scan a document to your PC, Brother’s new range of multifunction

flatbed colour laser machines are capable of scanning directly to an FTP server. This can be

done on the scanner glass or through the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF).

3: What are the benefits?

If you wish to scan and send someone a copy of a file and do not wish to use Brother’s scan

to e-mail capabilities (because the file you wish to send to them it too big for your e-mail

software), you can use Scan to FTP as an alternative method of scanning and sending a

document. The only requirement is that they can access the FTP server you will send the

document to.

4: Setting up profiles

In order to scan to FTP, you will need to know the location of your FTP server, together with a

username and password. These credentials can either be entered manually or stored in

profiles within the machine itself. To create profiles on your Brother machine, you’ll need to

use a PC with a web browser to create the profile. Using a profile eliminates the need to enter

your credentials every time when you need to scan to FTP.

To configure an FTP profile, log onto the printer via a web browser using either the IP address

(e.g. 168.24.45.32) or host name (e.g. printer.example.com). Once logged on, click on

‘Administrator Settings’ followed by ‘Scan to FTP’.

Here you will see a list of 10 profiles which can be customised. To start creating a profile,

simply click on the first available profile name

This is where you can customise your FTP profile.

* To prevent duplicate files being scanned, the Brother machine will automatically use the last

6 digits from the scanner counter along with the specified file name. There are 9 file names

which can be used in total 7 of which are preset and 2 you can name yourself. To change the

2 names you can alter, simply click on ‘Create a User Defined File Name’ on the initial ‘Scan

to FTP’ screen. Here you can customise the 2 file names (maximum 15 characters).

Select a port number (by default this is port 21). Please

refer to section 6.3 for more information.

This is the location of your FTP

server, usually entered as an IP

address (e.g. 168.24.45.32) or host

name (e.g. ftp.example.com).

5: Technical Information

6.1: FTP Explained

FTP is another type of protocol used for exchanging data between two computers, usually a

PC and a server. It uses two separate channels, the command and data channel. The

command channel is used to establish a connection between the two computers and

communicating any other information such as directory structures, privileges etc. The data

channel is used for data transfer.

6.2: Port numbers explained

Port numbers are used to channel data through to the appropriate program over the web. For

example, port 25 is used to route most email traffic to email software such as Microsoft®

Outlook. If ports were not used, then emails would not know where to go. Since FTP is

another type of communication and uses the web as transport, it too has an associated port

number, which are used to standardise the way we communicate over the web. These

numbers were created and are regulated by an organisation called Internet Assigned Number

Authority (IANA). Previous to IANA, companies would standardise their own rules for

communicating, which was great for internal communication but had limitations when dealing

with the outside world.
