Managing scan destinations

A scan destination is a cloud storage service to which a user can send scanned documents. A Scan Management Administrator enables and manages the scan destination in the Lexmark Cloud Services.

The following cloud storage services are used for scan destinations:

  • Microsoft OneDrive
  • Microsoft SharePoint
  • Google Drive™
  • Box
  • Dropbox

Note:  Make sure that you have a Microsoft, Google, Box, or Dropbox account to access cloud storage services and to manage scan destinations.

    Creating a scan destination

  1. From the Scan Management web portal, select either Organizational or Personal.

    Notes:

    • The Personal tab is available only if the administrator enables Allow users to create personal scan destinations. For more information, see Configuring the Scan Management settings.
    • If you want to create a private scan destination, then select Personal.

  2. Click Create.

  3. Configure the settings.

    General

    • Description (Optional)
    • Cloud storage service—Configure either of the following:

      • OneDrive—This option is private to each user's account, and the configuration is setting the structure for file storage in their account only. When an organizational OneDrive scan destination is executed, the path and folder structure is created on the user’s OneDrive account.

        • Notes:

        • The administrator account does not have access to the user's folders.
        • The users of the configuration do not have access to the administrator’s account folders.

The user must select another folder in the drive to scan to that location.

        1. From the Scan location folder section, click Choose Folder to browse to the scan destination folder.

          Notes:
