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".
