Scanning to a Mac OS X
Repository
Purpose
This document describes how to scan to a repository on a Mac OS X computer from a
Xerox multifunction device. This document covers scanning via FTP in the Mac OS X
environment only. Setting up the Xerox device for scanning, and scanning a document to
a Macintosh repository are also discussed.
Note: Mac OS X version 10.1.5 and 10.2 were used to conduct testing for this document.
Overview
To scan from a Xerox device, you must access a remote storage directory, known as a
scan repository. If that repository resides on a Mac OS X computer, enable FTP services
to allow remote access. The Macintosh OS X includes native FTP services so that you do
not need third party FTP software.
Setting Up FTP
Providing FTP Access
This section provides the method to set up the FTP server used to transfer files from the
Xerox device to the Scan Repository residing on the Macintosh computer. For a
repository residing on a Mac OS X computer, FTP services must be enabled for remote
access.
1. Select System Preferences from the Apple menu.
2. In the Internet & Network section, select [Sharing].
3. In the File & Web tab (Services tab in v10.2), select [Allow FTP Access].
Continue with the procedure in the next section before you close System Preferences.
Adding a User
1. Select [Show All] to display System Preferences again.
2. In the System section, select [Users] (select [Accounts] in v10.2).

3. In the Identity tab (Users tab in v10.2), click [New User]. Enter the following
information (examples shown):
Name: Xerox device user
Short Name: xduser
4. Select the Password tab. Type a password for the new user and confirm the
password. Click [OK].
5. Close System Preferences (
+ Q).
Note: In v10.2, the New User and Password fields are on the Users tab.
Each person who logs into the Mac OS X computer has a home folder inside the Users
folder on the hard disk. The home folder is where the Xerox device logs in to the FTP
session to transmit scan jobs.
Creating a Scan Folder
Although you can file scan jobs directly to the Xerox device’s user home folder, you may
want to create a folder off the user home folder to store scanned images. Use the
following steps to create this folder.
1. Log off the Mac OS X computer.
2. Log back on to the Mac OS X computer using the Xerox device’s user account you
created in step 3 of “Adding a User” (example: xduser).
3. On the top menu bar, select Go > Go to Folder.
4. Type the ~ (tilde) character immediately followed by the Xerox device’s user account
(example: ~xduser) and select [Go]. This opens the Users/<username> folder.
5. Select File > New Folder. Enter a folder name (example: scans) and press the
Return key. You have created a subfolder called “scans” off your Xerox device’s user
home folder (example: Users/xduser/scans).
Testing the FTP Setup
Ensure FTP is working properly by following these steps:
1. Go to Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > Terminal. Double-click on the
Terminal icon.
2. At the command prompt, type the following and press the Return key:
ftp <IP address of the Mac OS X computer>
3. At the user name prompt, enter the user you created in step 3 in the “Adding a User”
section earlier in this document, and press the Return key.
4. At the password prompt, enter the password you created in step 4 in “Adding a User,”
and press the Return key. You are now logged in to an FTP session.
5. At the ftp> prompt, type pwd and press the Return key to access the user’s home
folder, Users/<username>.
6. If the login is successful, type cd <directory name> (example: cd scans) and
press the Return key to change the directory to the one you created in step 5 of
“Creating a Scan Folder,” earlier in this document.
7. Type mkdir <temporary directory name> and press the Return key to verify
you have write access to the repository folder. If successful, your FTP setup is
complete. Type rmdir <temporary directory name> and press the Return
key to remove the temporary directory you just created.
8. Type quit and press the Return key to end your FTP session.
9. Close the Terminal window.
