Recently at a client that I was setting up an additional Scan to Folder template on their Xerox WorkCentre 7225 using the usual SMB settings for a Windows device. Had the client test scanning and they got a “Remote Directory Lock Failed” error report. After much searching I found a hidden setting in the web GUI for the multi-function device:
Disable Directory Lock
- Obtain IP address of multi-function device
- Open a web browser and type in http://[DeviceIPAddress]/diagnostics/admin.php
- Enter xerox Userid & Password (Admin/1111 are the defaults)
- Select “Scanning Lock Files” from the left side menu
- Uncheck the “Lock Files” enabled button.
After changing this one Directory Lock setting the Scan to Folder worked like a charm.
If your company wants to utilize more functionality from your multi-function device, then contact us for assistance.
Greetings. Have tried that. The Status Details now read “Failing transferring job to network server”
Might have to switch to using FTP to get the file to transfer. Here is another article we have that might help:
