Network Share and Power Outages – Decypher Tech Tips, June 2016

Software-Updates-Decypher-Tech-Tips

We want to keep you informed with the latest technology tips, so we’re sharing the information we’ve found most helpful this month about Network Share, printing and scanning, and how to deal with power outages.

Network Share:

  • When opening a file in network share, you may get an error message that the file is locked when the preview pane in Windows Explorer is selected. Turning off the preview pane will unlock the file. If this happens on a server, you can unlock the file via the server. You can also use Group Policy to change the default view in Windows Explorer.

Printing & Scanning:

  • Scan to email is a common function found in most printers, but the implementation can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. More often than not, older models of business class machines (Xerox and Ricoh) have problems sending to newer mail servers. In these situations the best course of action is to scan to an email server you manage so that you can adjust these settings. If your environment has a server, IIS can be installed with minimal impact. Call Decypher for assistance with your server or scan to email settings.
