1 Getting Started

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the network scanner. With the product, you can instantly scan single-sided or double-sided document(s) and deliver the electronic images to various destinations including E-mail addresses, ftp servers, network folders such as FTP, FTPS, FTPES, or cloud servers such as Google Drive, Dropbox, Evernote, OneDrive, or Microsoft SharePoint. In addition, the product also allows you to save the scanned image to an inserted USB flash drive, or the product’s own memory.

If required, the product can be used as a regular scanner through USB or wired network connection to start a scan with your TWAIN-compliant software application and optimize your scanned images with various advanced image enhancement tool. You may refer to Chapter 7 Using the Product As a Regular Scanner in this manual on how to use this function.

Various Scan to Destinations

Scanning and Sending Your Images to an E-mail address:

Connected to an ethernet network and a SMTP server, the product allows you to transmit document(s) to your E-mail as attachment. With a touch of the E-mail key and the selection of your recipients' E-mail addresses, the document(s) is/are first scanned and converted into an image file, and then transmitted to remote recipients within minutes.

Scanning and Sending Your Image to a Cloud server or Network Folder:

The product allows you to send the scanned documents to a server such as Google Drive, Dropbox, Evernote, SharePoint Online or a network folder over intranet with FTP (File Transfer Protocol), FTPS (FTP Secure), FTPES, SharePoint, or SMB (Server Message Block Protocol). This feature off-loads the mail server from handling large attachments.

Scanning and Saving Your Images to a USB Flash Drive:

By plugging a USB flash drive into the USB port of the product, the product allows you to scan your document and save the scanned images to your USB flash drive.

Scanning and Saving Your Images to the Product’s Memory:

By selecting a public folder as a filing destination, the product allows you to scan and save the scanned image in the product’s memory and access the file from the product’s embedded web page.

Preview:

Before sending your documents over the network, the product allows you to view a reduced size of the scanned document to verify if the scanned image has been skew, or upside down. If one of the pages is skew, you can delete and rescan that page to save your time.

Scancast:

Scan and broadcast the images respectively to various destinations including a

cloud server, a public folder (the product’s memory), a USB flash drive, E-mail addresses, a file server on the network such as FTP FTPS SMB.

Using Convenient Shortcuts:

By assigning your frequently used settings and scan to destinations as Shortcuts, the product allows you to streamline your workflow and complete your scanning task in just one press of a button.

Easy Customization:

This product makes user customization fast and easy by simply installing a third-party app (short for application) to be run on the product. The new plug-in app allows users to complete the scan tasks according to its own workflow.

Pre-installation Information

Preinstallation

The product has to be setup properly on your network to perform E-mail and filing functions. The following network parameters have to be set.

Important!

Make a copy of the following table and ask your Network Administrator to complete the information.

	1.		DHCP Enable:
	2.		IP Address:	.	.	.
	3.		Subnet Mask:	.	.	.
	4.		Gateway IP:	.	.	.
	5.		DNS Server:	.	.	.
	6.		Mail Server:	.	.	.
	7.		Port # of Mail
			Server
Explanation of contents:

1.		*DHCP Enable:			Choose Yes to obtain IP/subnet/gateway/DNS
					server/WINS server addresses automatically
					from DHCP server.

2.		*IP Address:			The Internet Protocol (IP) address assigned to
					your machine by your network administrator or
					by DHCP server.

3.		Subnet Mask:			The net mask address assigned by your
					network administrator or by DHCP server.

4.		Gateway IP:			The gateway IP address assigned by your
					network administrator or by DHCP server or by
					DHCP server.

5.		*DNS server:			The IP address of DNS server assigned by your
					network administrator.

Note:

1.DHCP server: With DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), a host can automatically be given a unique IP address each time it connects to a network--making IP address management an easier task for network administrators. If the DHCP server is available from your network, you do not need to enter TCP/IP, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS information. Instead, this information will be automatically given for the product.

2.IP Address: An IP (Internet Protocol) address uniquely identifies a host connection to an IP network. System administrator or network designer assigns the IP address. The IP address consists of two parts, one identifying the network and the one identifying your node. The IP address is usually written as four numbers separated by periods. Each number can be zero to 255. For example, 10.1.30.186 could be an IP address.

3.DNS: Stands for Domain Name System. The DNS server identifies hosts via names instead of IP addresses. If the DNS server is available on your network, you can enter the domain name instead of digits for the IP address.
