When the application integration module
kit is installed, metadata (data indicating the attributes of the
image file and how it is to be processed) is generated based on
pre-stored information and transmitted separately from an image
file that is generated for sending a scanned image. The metadata
file is created in XML format.
By linking the metadata with applications such as document
management software, a workflow application, or an encryption server,
a sophisticated document solution environment can be built.
Using the application integration module kit, information
on a generated image file can be entered at the touch panel and transmitted
along with the image as an XML file.
To configure the settings related to metadata,
select [System Settings] → [Image Send Settings] → [Metadata Settings]→ [Metadata
Entry]
in "Settings (administrator)". (Administrator rights are required.)
Enable metadata delivery.
Store the items (the metadata set) to write to the XML
file that will be generated during scanning. Up to 10 metadata items
can be configured in a metadata set. A stored metadata set can be
selected at the time of transmission.
Addresses specified in "Address Type Allowing Metadata Entry" when a metadata set
is
stored can be selected as transmission destinations at the time
of transmission using one-touch keys, manual entry, or a global
address book search. (Addresses for which metadata entry is not
allowed cannot be specified as transmission destinations.)
