Scanning from MFP to Windows 10 systems


Hello forum


perhaps someone can shine a light on an issue with a Sharp(could be anything really) multi function printer with scanning to a network folder.


The product is total security 2020.


problem: scan on a network to a folder on the C drive of a PC (done this 100's of times, so know all of the issues involved with SMB/folder sharing/permissions.


Bitdefender firewall is giving the problem - turn it off, scanning works.


I have put in the exceptions for the scanner (for reference it's a static IP: 192.168.1.199) and it's hard wired.


All the recipients are laptops on Wifi (all of this works fine) and there's a NAS working fine......for a few years now.


Once the exception is done, scanning works for a bit, then stops again - the firewall appears to kick in again, even with the exception active.


Can anyone shine a light on the potential issue - it's just driving me bonkers.


thanks forum
