BEFORE USING THE MACHINE AS A NETWORK SCANNER FUNCTION

USES OF THE NETWORK SCANNER

The network scanner allows you to create an image file from the original data scanned by the machine, and send the file over a network to a PC, FTP server, or other destinations. If necessary, it scans the original using a TWAIN-compliant application on your PC.
The network scanner function provides the following scanning modes.

Scanner mode

The scanner function of the machine sends a scanned original as described below based on the specification of the destination.

  • Scan to E-mail
    • You can send a scanned file as an e-mail attachment. You can also save the file to the machine's local drive and send only a URL link (without attaching the file) that allows the recipient to download the file.
  • Scan to FTP
    • The scanned file is sent to a specified folder of an FTP server. When the file is sent, it is also possible to send an e-mail to a previously stored e-mail address to inform the recipient of the location of the file.
  • Scan to Desktop
    • The scanned file is sent to a specified folder on your computer. For information on Scan to Desktop, consult your dealer.
  • Scan to Network Folder
    • The scanned file is sent to a network folder on a Windows PC on the same network as the machine. When the file is sent, it is also possible to send an e-mail to a previously stored e-mail address to inform the recipient of the location of the file.

For the operating procedure, see " SENDING AN IMAGE IN SCAN MODE".

Internet fax mode

The scanned file is sent as an Internet fax. Internet faxes are received if necessary.
The machine supports Direct SMTP, which lets you directly send Internet faxes within your company without using a mail server.

To use the Internet fax function, the Internet fax expansion kit must be installed.
For the operating procedure, see " SENDING A FAX IN INTERNET FAX MODE".

Data entry mode

In data entry mode, information entered using the touch panel or automatically generated by the machine is sent to a directory on an FTP server or an application on a PC as a metadata file in XML format.

Installing the application integration module is required to use the metadata delivery function.
The application integration module can be combined with the network scanner to append a metadata file to a scanned image file.
Metadata is information about a file, how it is to be processed, and its relation to other objects.
For the operating procedure, see " TRANSMITTING METADATA".
