how to see what copy you are on when using kyocera ecosys m3550

This is a troubleshooting guide meant to be used if you've already tried to set upwardly scanning from your Kyocera to your computer and failed. For bones instructions on how to get started, I would recommend to these sites:

• How to set upwardly scan to folder in "How to guides for Kyocera Devices"
• Scan to Folder via SMB from Kyocera MFD/MFP to Windows x past Kyocera (pdf) and link 2

In short:

1. Create a dedicated user in Windows that Kyocera will employ to connect to it, you tin run netplwiz for quick access to user management
2. Hide the user from the login screen by editing your registry, and creating a DWORD (32-bit) with the same key (proper name) every bit the defended user for Kyocera and with value "0" in the post-obit location:
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList (if the path does not exist, create it)
3. Share the target binder in Windows using Advanced Sharing (just clicking on share will Not work)
4. Give permissions to the binder for the dedicated user both in the sharing dialog (Folder Backdrop → Advanced Sharing → Permissions) as well as on the "Security" tab of the folder backdrop dialog
5. Ensure SMB is enabled on your Kyocera (log in equally admin, Network Settings page, under "Transport Protocols")
6. Create an accost book entry on your Kyocera spider web control panel:

Accost Volume → Auto Address Book → Add

Tips:

• You tin prepare the Host Proper noun to the proper name of the computer, or if that doesn't work try to requite a static IP accost to the client and enter that
• The path should not start with a slash or the computer proper name!
• If you lot're on a domain, the username should be in the format: user@domain, otherwise: computer-proper name\user

Y'all tin can too endeavor Kyocera's aboriginal "Scan to SMB" utility, which will endeavor to exercise the to a higher place automatically. It....sometimes works. Google it, or try to find it on this folio.

If you got this far and it's not working, start take a moment and consider whether it would be easier to just set up upwards

(a) configuring SMTP & delivering your scans via electronic mail, or

(b) an ftp server on the network & delivering scans at that place

Both accept less than one-half an hour to set up and will piece of work reliably. If yous are intent on getting your Kyocera to work with SMB, then exist prepared to spend hours troubleshooting the issue and boldly read on...

My favorite printer brands currently are Kyocera, Okidata, and Epson. All three companies keep to innovate, and they all offering affordable printers with very low cost of maintenance. I used to adopt HP until they got on the let's-rip-off-our-customers-with-overpriced-ink-and-disable-aftermarket-toners gravy train.

Unfortunately in that location is one issue that I keep running into with Kyocera printers. It has become very difficult to set upwardly scannning to a computer via SMB lately. This is non all Kyocera'due south fault, these MFC-south withal work fine with PC-s running Windows seven, and the problems often stem from "security improvements" and the general disaster that Windows has get. But Kyocera IS partly to blame because they are slow to adapt, and you tin still buy Kyoceras with old firmware, and additionally they exacerbate the consequence by not providing decent documentation and past "hiding" the software required to finer troubleshoot the event from the public. They rely also much on having a network of technicians worldwide - just many users don't want to spend top $ for a technician to prepare an old printer or fifty-fifty to install a new one. These things should just work and if they don't, Kyocera should take an upwardly-to-date guide published in a prominent location on the website with effective instructions to solve it equally well every bit all software necessary (including firmware).

Anyways, I'm not an expert and I have no "magic" solution, this is just a post where I gather all useful suggestions I could find on this topic. Naturally, none of these come up from either Kyocera or Microsoft itself.

The dirty give-and-take: "SMB"

The underlying issue often has to with SMB. Windows used to support SMB v1, merely this has been disabled in newer versions of Windows 10. Certain Kyocera printers only back up SMB v1, others require a firmware update to support SMB v2/v3, and newer devices support all iii. Yous tin read near SMB here. You lot tin can read well-nigh which printers support which protocol here. In case that link goes down, here's the relevand function:

Firmware Update

You should beginning bank check if your printer supports SMB2/3. If a firmware update is required, and then don't even bother with any of the other solutions - I've tried them all and some printers simply don't work with Windows ten without a firmware update. Unfortunately Kyocera does not make firmware updates available to the public.

Y'all tin bank check your firmware version on the Device Data → Configuration page:

Kyocera has release several tools for managing their printers. Personally I haven't figured out which is meliorate or why there are then many tools. Y'all tin can use Kyocera Net Admin (which is a "web-based" tool) or Kyocera Internet Viewer, but in that location are others like "Kyocera Network Device Managing director", "Kyocera Device Manager", etc. I used Kyocera Net Viewer because it'southward 1 of the smaller downloads. Unfortunately, it is not piece of cake to notice - use google. I found some upwards-to-appointment versions here: http://kyoceradocumentsolutions.hu/letoltesek/tartalom/579132, you can also endeavor the "Quick Links" on Kyoceradiscovery.com

You will also need the updated firmware file. This is even harder to find. As I understand information technology, Kyocera only makes this available to authorized technicians. A shame considering the terminate effect is that many printers, which work fine, are thrown away when a firmware update is actually all that is needed. Bad for the environment! I personally plant some firmware on some russian site.

Once you got this far, google youtube for instructions on how to update your firmware with Kyocera Net Viewer. Or just follow this screen shot:

Default credentials are oft: Admin/Admin

Turn on SMBv1

This is not recommended. SMBv1 was deprecated for a reason. Merely, there comes a indicate where you're ready to endeavour anything.

Yous can enable SMBv1 by running optionalfeatures.exe, gyre down to SMB and tick SMB 1.0/CIFS Customer (just not SMB 1.0/CIFS Automated Removal)!

Some quotes:

Showtime the "Function Discovery Provider Host" and "Function Discovery Resource Publication" services, and then gear up them toAutomatic (Delayed Beginning).

When y'all open Explorer Network, enable network discovery when you are prompted.

(source)

So u only demand to enable on win8 the SMB ver 1 with Powershell command : To enable SMBv1 on the SMB customer, run the following commands:
sc.exe config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/mrxsmb20/nsi
sc.exe config mrxsmb10 outset= auto

Firewall

Turn off your firewall to see if that is the issue. Turn off both your Windows firewall as well every bit whatever proprietary firewall you might have installed (like with antivirus).

Rules to set to let for windows firewall:

• File and Printer Sharing (NB-Proper noun-In), UDP 137
• File and Printer Sharing (NB-Session-In), TCP 139
• File and Printer Sharing (SMB-In), TCP 445
• File and Printer sharing (NB- Datagram-In), UDP 138

Getting drastic...

• Try using the IP accost of the machine instead of the hostname
• Add together exceptions in Windows Firewall (incoming, printers and file sharing, SMB)
• Turn on public sharing for the binder
• Windows 10 blocks SMB on public networks, check the network profile of the network yous're connected to and prepare it to Private
• Check "Enable file sharing for devices that employ 40- or 56-bit encryption" in "Advanced sharing settings", also enable "Password Protected Sharing"

Set these services to "Automatic":

• Function Discovery Provider Host
• Part Discovery Resource Publication
• SSDP Discovery
• UPnP Device Host
