Setting up scanning to a folder is quite a straight forward process on an Olivetti MF222Plus.

First thing you need to do is create a folder on your computer or server. Then share it, the easiest way to share a folder in windows is to right click on the folder then select properties.

Next select sharing and go to advanced sharing (1) then check the box to share the folder (2) you can change the share name if need be, next set the permissions of the folder you are sharing (3)

Set the folder permissions to specific people or set to everyone full control, this allows the machine to deliver the scanned doc in to the folder. If it isn’t shared then the machine can not scan back to the computer.

permissions

The next thing you will need to do is get the hostname of the computer you are scanning back to, this is quite straight forward to do, you can obtain it by first holding down the windows key on your keyboard then hitting the R on your keyboard.

run command

This will bring up the run box, next type cmd and click ok to bring up the windows command prompt. Then type hostname in the command prompt window and press enter on your keyboard, you will then see the hostname of your computer. As you can see in the example below it is PC9.

cmd prompt

Once we have the hostname and a folder set up the next step is to open up the web interface of the Olivetti MF222Plus. This is done by typing http://IPADDRESSOFTHEMACHINE (i.e. 192.168.1.150) in the address bar of your web browser.

(You can find out the IP address of your machine either from the port settings on your print driver or by printing out the configuration page at the machine in user settings.)

Next go to the Store Address tab of the MFD’s web page.

store address

Then click on New Registration in the Address Book List.

new registration

Next fill in the fields like below,

address book entry

1. The name that will be displayed on the machines display

2. Check the main box and the area of the address book that it will reside.

3. Check the box for the hostname.

4. Add the hostname (e.g. PC9) that you got from the command prompt, then the share name of the folder you set up, then a valid windows user name and password that has access to the computer you are scanning back to.

5. Then click OK to store the details.

You should get the message below if it has been set up on the machine.

You can set up more scan folders by clicking Continue Registration or just click return or close the web browser.

You should now be able to scan back to your PC or server, if it fails for any reason and you require assistance then contact Elmdale Maintenance on 0118 982 1445.

This process can be used on all Olivetti, Konica Minolta, Develop colour MFD’s such as Bizhub C224e, 284e, 364e, 454e, 554e or Olivetti MF282Plus, MF362Plus, MF452Plus, MF552Plus, MF652, MF752 or Develop Ineo+ 224e, Ineo+ 284e,Ineo+ 364e,Ineo+ 454e,Ineo+ 554e

How to Configure An SMTP Relay in Exchange on SBS 2008 To Allow An MFP To Use Scan To Email

by Andy Norman Aug 5, 2013

We occasionally have issues when setting up scan to email for clients where you get server connect errors, this is due to Exchange not allowing the MFP to relay through it. In most cases we have mentioned this to the companies IT representative and they have configured it for us.

Should the need arise I have found the following article from the Official SBS Blog: How to Configure Trusted SMTP Relay in Exchange on SBS 2008 just in case it is needed in the field.

There is also another article which I originally found at MPECS Inc. Blog where they configure it for use with a Konica Minolta bizhub machine which may be of use as well. Or you can check out this post at Lyle Epstein’s Systems Engineer Blog which is also helpful.

How to Configure Trusted SMTP Relay in Exchange on latest windows servers SBS 2008 onwards

Today we will discuss the steps necessary to allow trusted internal servers and external authenticated users to relay email through your SBS 2008 server. You would do this for scenarios in which external POP3 or IMAP4 clients or an internal application server needs to send email through your Exchange server. This is not to be confused with external anonymous relay, where your server is open to any connecting IP address for abuse.

The key to making this secure is restricting access through either authentication or connection control (filtering by IP address). You will also see how SBS 2008 configures TLS in Exchange to encrypt your traffic to protect against eavesdropping.

Application Server Relay

SBS 2008 Setup creates a Default receive connector in Exchange to allow internal machines using Basic over TLS, Exchange Server, or Windows Integrated Authentication to relay. It listens on port 25 and allows connections from any IP address in the internal LAN. You may need to perform some extra configuration on your application servers to meet the authentication requirements of the connector.

You can tone down the security requirements in favor of an easier deployment by creating a new receive connector that allows anonymous relay, but only from specific IP addresses.

The Exchange blog already has a nice walkthrough on how to configure this. The requirements for SBS are no different. You can reach it through the following link: http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2006/12/28/432013.aspx

External Client Relay

Exchange 2007 makes it easy to properly configure an external client receive connector. The first option you choose when creating a new connector is its intended use. When you select “client”, the connector is automatically configured with the proper port, authentication settings and permissions. All you need to choose is the name and remote IP ranges for the connector.

In the Exchange Management Console, expand Server Configuration > Hub Transport and under Actions choose New Receive Connector

On the introduction screen you choose the name and intended use. Choose Client

After this, you will select what remote IP address ranges that will be allowed to connect. The default includes all IPs.

At the completion screen, you can view the powershell command that has been applied behind the scenes:

New-ReceiveConnector –Name ‘Client’ –Usage ‘Client’ –RemoteIPRanges ‘0.0.0.0-255.255.255.255’ –Server ‘SERVER’

Now we can verify the network, authentication, and permission groups settings to see how a Client receive connector has been configured. If you go to the properties, you will see that it’s listening on port 587, that it has enabled Basic authentication over TLS, and that it is only allowing Exchange Users (Authenticated Users) to connect.

NOTE: Make sure that port 587 is open in your firewall

Further inspection of the AD permissions on the receive connector show that authenticated users have the ms-Exch-SMTP-Accept-Any-Recipient right. This is the relay permission and should never be owned by anonymous users. You can view this either through ADSIEDIT or by running the following powershell command:

Get-ADPermission “Client Receive Connector Name” | where {$_.ExtendedRights –match “ms-Exch-SMTP-Accept-Any-Recipient“} | fl

If you have successfully run the Internet Address Management Wizard from the SBS Console, then your Exchange certificate for TLS has already been installed and configured. You can verify this by running the Get-ExchangeCertificatecommandlet and find the certificate with your external DNS domain name. The certificate will have IPWS listed under Services, which stands for IMAP, POP, Web and SMTP respectively.

At this point, make sure that your Client receive connector is configured with the same FQDN that is listed in the subject of your Exchange certificate. This will be displayed in the banner:

Once all of this is done, you are ready to setup Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Mail, etc. Important points here are:

The client machine must trust both the Exchange certificate and the Root CA in which it was created from. A good test is to open IE on the client and browse OWA to see if you get the certificate warning(s).
You must configure the mail client to connect on port 587 and to send the proper credentials for authentication.
The server requires a TLS connection, you must specify this in the mail client

Olivetti Colour Print Driver Settings

by Andy Norman Jun 18, 2013

These are our Standard Print Driver Settings for the Olivetti range when we install a machine at a client. They cover most of the current range and each driver has many of the same features and the settings are in the same place but may just be labelled differently. If you get stuck the contact us and we will try to fill in the gaps.

1. Turn off Auto in “Obtain Settings” this is under the Configuration tab in the printer properties. This is important to do as the driver will constantly query the printer if it isn’t turned off and will cause a delay when the user wants to make any changes to print settings.

Obtain Settings

2. Next we turn off “My Tab” this is under the settings tab, click the box that says “My Tab Settings” then un check the radio button that says “Display My Tab”

My Tab Settings

3. Next go to “Advanced” then “Printing Defaults” change the quality from Auto Colour to Grayscale, unless you want everything to print as colour then leave this setting alone. If this is a driver that is held on a server and shared out to clients you will have to repeat this setting under the “General” tab in “Printing Preferences” otherwise when the driver is loaded on the client computer the setting will not be transferred across correctly.

Quality Settings

4. Under the same 2 tabs in the properties of the driver you will need to alter the duplex setting if you do not want all your prints to come out 2 sided. If you do want everything 2 sided then again you can leave this setting.

Duplex Settings
