Setting up a Xerox WorkCentre 6515 to scan to an iMac

Folks, you all have been a big help in the past. Need some help again.


I have lost the ability to scan from my Xerox WorkCentre 6515 to my iMac. I've had that capability for several years, love the ease of use. But now something has happened.


I keep getting the same error - "Completed with an Error (018-747) : Server not found in SMB"


I've followed the process exactly as it is laid out in the manual.

  1. At your computer, open a Web browser. In the address field, type the IP address of the printer, then press Enter or Return.
  2. Note: If you do not know the IP address for your printer, refer to Finding the IP Address of Your Printer on page 33.
  3. Click Address Book, then click Add Contact.
  4. For Network (SMB), click the plus icon (+), then enter the following information:
    • − Nickname: Enter the name that you want to appear in the Address Book.
    • − Type: Select the network connection type.
    • − IP Address: Port: Enter the IP address of your computer, then enter the default port number.
    • − Share: Enter a name for the directory or folder. For example, to save scanned files to a shared folder named scans, type scans.
    • − Document Path: Enter the path of the folder on the SMB server. For example, to save the scanned files to a folder named colorscans inside the scans folder, type colorscans.
    • − Login Name: Enter your computer user name.
    • − Password: Enter your computer login password.
    • − Retype Password: Enter your login password again.
  1. To save your network information, click OK.
  2. To save your contact, click OK.


However, it keeps failing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks

Jim
