NETWORK SCANNER FUNCTION

Overview

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
A scanned file is attached to e-mail and sent.
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 Network Folder
The scanned file is sent to a network folder on a Windows PC on the same network as the machine.
It is possible to send an e-mail to inform the location where the scanned file is stored.
For the operating procedure, see "SENDING AN IMAGE IN SCAN 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.
  • Metadata is data which indicates information about a file, how it is to be processed, and its relation to other objects. Installing the application integration module is required to use the metadata delivery function.
  • The application integration module can be combined with the network scanner function to append a metadata file to a scanned image file.
  • For the operating procedure, see "TRANSMITTING METADATA".
