If you scan documents frequently, it's helpful to be able to send scans directly to a network repository where they can be organized and stored easily.The Xerox WorkCentre Pro 245 is a multifunction printer that, among other capabilities, can scan directly to a network storage space. In order to set up network scanning for this device, you must know the device's IP address and the path and credentials to a network storage location. Once you have that information, however, setting up network scanning is a fairly straightforward process.
