You are shown the main Address Book Editor screen. It will read the address book in the scanner This lets you edit the destinations the scanner knows about, without having to use the keypad on the scanner to enter all the details. (or you can do it using the web front end to the printer but this is prettier) Inside Applications/Xerox is the Address Book Editor. We can do this using one of the utilities installed with the Xerox OSX software. So now we need to configure the scanner part of the WorkCentre 6605DN. You can see it below called XeroxScans (entering a name without spaces just makes life easier when using FTP, trust me!) I found it easiest to create one inside the Pictures folder.

So now we need to create a folder that will be used to receive the scanned images/documents. Of course if you don’t want to have to type these commands then perhaps the GUI tool mentioned above might be better for you. Why would you want to stop the service? Well it uses a little bit of memory and perhaps more importantly, it is a service that lets someone with your username/password copy files to and from your machine remotely. Sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ftp.plist There are associated commands to stop/start/remove the service which I list below: This command (done from an administrator account on your machine) places the FTP service into the launchd service database and starts the service. Sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ftp.plist If you want to manually control it, then enter the following in the Terminal window: Or, as suggested here, you can have a small application that just gives you an alternative GUI front end to the existing OSX FTP service. You can use an alternative FTP server with a GUI (some suggest ProFTPD) or you can just use Terminal to hand crank the FTP server. Except that Apple removed the front end to this in Mountain Lion and Maverick! But you can get round it (and avoid sending it by email) by using the Xerox supported FTP protocol.

With Xerox, you use the SMB protocol (amongst others) to do it and Apple altered their SMB protocol support so that even when you follow the (not very well described from a Mac user point of view) instructions in the manual it still won’t work. With the Canon, you had a piece of software (the Canon IJ Network Selector) that spoke to the Pixma so you could select to scan directly from the scanner to your Mac or PC. But the problem it causes is mine, and presumably yours if you are reading this.

Please continue to visit /drivers periodically for updates regarding enhancements to scan drivers that address this change.”Įven though the same document says that the WorkCentre 6605 is a Level 1 supported device (“Drivers for Mavericks are available and can be downloaded from .”)!

In particular, scanning via the SMB protocol is no longer supported due to architectural changes in Mac OS X 10.8. Some scan functionality is diminished in Mac OS X 10.8.

“Scan Driver Compatibility with Mac OS X 10.8 It came with OSX support (great for my mixed network) but what you don’t realise is that buried deep in the web site blurb at is a paragraph that says Probably overkill but I wanted something that did everything and would hopefully be reliable. After looking round I decided to jump in with both feet with the Xerox WorkCentre 6605DN (it is just the duplex capable version of the 6605N). I decided I needed to replace an aging Konica Minolta Magicolour 2530DL and decided to also get more deskspace by getting rid of a Canon Pixma MX850 that I really only used for scanning/faxing. (This probably also applies to 10.8 – Mountain Lion)
