Certain Kyocera printers only support SMB v1, others require a firmware update to support SMB v2/v3, and newer devices support all three. Windows used to support SMB v1, but this has been disabled in newer versions of Windows 10.
The underlying issue often has to with SMB. Naturally, none of these come from either Kyocera or Microsoft itself.
These things should just work and if they don't, Kyocera should have an up-to-date guide published in a prominent location on the website with effective instructions to solve it as well as all software necessary (including firmware).Īnyways, 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.
They rely too much on having a network of technicians worldwide - but many users don't want to spend top $ for a technician to fix an old printer or even to install a new one. But Kyocera IS partly to blame because they are slow to adapt, and you can still buy Kyoceras with old firmware, and additionally they exacerbate the issue by not providing decent documentation and by "hiding" the software required to effectively troubleshoot the issue from the public. This is not all Kyocera's fault, these MFC-s still work fine with PC-s running Windows 7, and the problems often stem from "security improvements" and the general disaster that Windows has become. It has become very difficult to set up scannning to a computer via SMB lately. Unfortunately there is one issue that I keep running into with Kyocera printers. I used to prefer HP until they got on the let's-rip-off-our-customers-with-overpriced-ink-and-disable-aftermarket-toners gravy train. All three companies continue to innovate, and they all offer affordable printers with very low cost of maintenance. My favorite printer brands currently are Kyocera, Okidata, and Epson. If you are intent on getting your Kyocera to work with SMB, then be prepared to spend hours troubleshooting the issue and boldly read on.
(b) an ftp server on the network & delivering scans thereīoth take less than half an hour to set up and will work reliably. (a) configuring SMTP & delivering your scans via email, or If you got this far and it's not working, first take a moment and consider whether it would be easier to just set up Google it, or try to find it on this page. You can also try Kyocera's ancient "Scan to SMB" utility, which will try to do the above automatically.
How to set up scan to folder in "How to guides for Kyocera Devices".For basic instructions on how to get started, I would recommend to these sites: This is a troubleshooting guide meant to be used if you've already tried to set up scanning from your Kyocera to your computer and failed.
