About ScanFront 330 Web Application Mode

The ScanFront 330 is equipped with not only an operation mode called Standard Mode that allows you to scan without connecting to a computer just like with the ScanFront 300P but also an operation mode called Web Application Mode, and you can use the scanner in either of these modes.* With Web Application Mode, the Web application for operating the ScanFront is installed on the server**, and you can access the Web application on the server and operate the ScanFront from the browser installed on the ScanFront. By revising the Web application, the developer can customize ScanFront operation to match your operating conditions. If you intend to use Web Application Mode, contact your dealer.

* The ScanFront 330 is set to Standard Mode in the initial state at the time of purchase. ** To use Web Application Mode, you need to provide a separate server on which to run the Web application.
