Creating Personal Scan Space (S: Drive)

You can set up network space to store scanned documents or images from supported devices. Once the space has been set up, it can be accessed from your local computer for downloading and working with the scanned documents or images. In order to create this Personal Scan Space, you must scan an initial document from a Ricoh copier or other supported device. You can then access scanned documents and images from your local computer (Mac or Windows) by mapping the Personal Scan Space to a drive (typically S: drive).

1. Setup a new e-mail address on your Ricoh or other supported scanner to scan to: scans+{LehighUsername}@lehigh.edu – replace {LehighUsername} with your Lehigh ID. For example, scans+tip204@lehigh.edu is a valid scans address. If you need assistance with this step, please contact your computing consultant. Perform a scan immediately after doing this.

NOTES:

You cannot directly write to or modify this network drive in any way from your PC. You can only copy contents from it to another location for processing (such as your I: drive or local computer desktop).
You can scan to this location from on-campus devices only. Scans from outside of Lehigh’s network are rejected.
Files scanned to this location are deleted automatically after 7 days. Any files deleted automatically cannot be recovered. This location IS NOT BACKED UP.
Department “in” accounts cannot be setup for scanning to this location.
Class I data is allowed on the scans drive. Please ensure the location you copy it to is also secured for Class I data.
Only TIF, PDF, and JPEG file types are allowed for scanning (if additional types are needed, contact Tim Palumbo - tip204).
All user accounts are automatically generated after their first scan is received, thus all users can begin using this service immediately.
