Configure the settings for the LDAP server
Introduction
When the scan-to-email function is enabled, a list of user codes and matching email addresses is
required. When a user enters his/her unique code on the printer operator panel, the scan job will
be sent to the matching email address.
The list of user codes and matching email addresses can be available at the following places:
• On an LDAP server, if available
• If an LDAP server is unavailable, in an address list file (default name: ral.csv), which must be
uploaded to the PRISMAsync controller through the Settings Editor ([Configuration] ->
[Connectivity]).
When a user enters the user code, the system will first look for a matching email address in the
LDAP database. If the system does not find a matching email address there, or if an LDAP server
is unavailable, the system searches the address list file for the matching email address.
