It is possible to send a large volume of scan data from the machine to the shared folder created on the Windows computer (supporting SMB protocol) on the network.
From a computer connected to the network, you can access the shared folder, and import and save a large volume of scan data.
A large volume of scan data (more than 10 MB) is sent more securely than by E-mail. You can share data easily without configuring a full-scale FTP server.
