How to Setup Scan to Folder (Savin to PC)

In this post, we’ll be covering how to setup scan to folder using a Savin copier and Windows PC. Scan to folder is a feature of all multi-function devices that allows users to scan a paper document, and have it automatically upload to a specific folder on their computer.

Scan to folder can be as simple as uploading a pdf version of your paper document to your computer, or as complex as your copier being able to scan your document, read a specific marker on the document indictating which folder it should be routed too, then converted into a searchable pdf or word file.

But in this post, we’ll just be covering how to setup basic scan to folder.
