GP 14 Setup and Scan to PWS
Procedure
This procedure is intended to provide instructions for setting up the PWS and WC 7132 to
enable scanning to the PWS. Once the PWS is configured, it can be used as a tool to confirm
that a WC 7132 can scan and deliver a file via a network connection. Future attempts to verify
scanning to the PWS can be done by configuring the PWS to Obtain an IP Address Automat-
ically. Then simply enter the Scan folder name, User name, and Password into the WC 7132
as described in the following procedures (Preparing the WC 7132).
The first part of this procedure provides instructions to configure the PWS. For the PWS to
accept scanned files from the machine, it must be configured with an authorized user account
that the machine will use to log in with. The PWS also needs a shared folder that will be used
as a target location to copy the file into.
