AXIS 70U/7000 User’s Guide Product Overview

Product Overview

The AXIS 70U and AXIS 7000 Network Document Servers, referred to in this document as the AXIS 70U/7000, are easy solutions for instant digital document distribution over networks. Faster, cheaper and safer than fax, traditional mail and courier. The total cost of ownership is favorable since the distribution relies upon the fixed IP network and not fax lines, postage or courier.

• AXIS 70U — USB connection

• AXIS 7000 — SCSI connection

Note:

The AXIS 70U does not support USB hubs or USB converters and can only be connected to one scanning device at a time.

The AXIS 70U supports USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 Full Speed.

E-mail

AXIS 70U/7000

Scanner

Supplied as a standalone unit, typically located beside your scanning device, one AXIS 70U/7000 is required for each scanner.

For convenient electronic distribution of copied materials to e-mail addresses, it is suggested that the AXIS 70U/7000 and the scanning device be located in the mail or printer room — in close proximity to the workgroup or department users.
