1 Overview

The Kodak Scan Station 100 is designed as a walk-up scanner that requires minimal user training. The Scan Station 100 is a standalone solution requiring no host PC or application software. It works with an existing network (Ethernet, 10/100 Base T) and makes use of existing network shared services such as TCP/IP, FTP and SMTP in order to communicate with other network devices or destinations. The color touch screen offers a simple, graphical user interface (GUI) to operate the device and direct the output. More than just a scanner, the Kodak Scan Station 100 is a robust capture solution that lets you quickly send your documents via email, the network, networked printers, USB flash drives or fax (optional) with a simple touch.
This Administrator’s Guide provides the information you need to setup and administer the Kodak Scan Station 100, Kodak Scan Station 100 Plus and the Kodak Scan Station 120EX.
For the purpose of this manual the Kodak Scan Station 100, Kodak Scan Station 100 Plus and the Kodak Scan Station 120EX will be referred to as Kodak Scan Station 100. Any differences between these models will be noted.

Supported network protocols

The Scan St ation 100 plugs directly into an Ethernet-ba sed IP network, using a standard RJ45 connection, working independently within the following environments:
• Microsoft Windows Server 2000 and Server 2003 (TCP/IP, MS sharing, SMTP, FTP, Printing)
• NetWare 3.x and 4.x with MS services for NetWare (TCP/IP, MS Sharing, SMTP, FTP)
• Unix/Linux environments (SMTP and FTP only)
NOTE:Your network environment may or may not support all of the
network protocols mentioned above.
The Scan St ation 100 supports sending att ached images by email using the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and authenticated SMTP protocols. Methods supported for authenticated SMTP include: simple password, NTLM and Challenge Response.
NOTE: Kerberos support is not included at this time. Anonymous File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and authenticated FTP are
also supported, including proxy support. To use either form of authenticated FTP (with or without proxy), the FTP configuration will need sufficient credentials to access the FTP site. This information should be available from your network administrator.
While the Scan Station 100 can be used in heterogeneous networks with SMTP and FTP, printing to network printers and scanning to network shared folders requires Microsoft printer drivers and SMB (Server Message Block) drive access respectively. When used within a Microsoft NT Domain, the Scan Station accesses domain resources (shared drives and printers) with a standard domain user account, provided by the administrator . When used within a Microsoft wo rkgroup, the Scan Station may access workgroup resources (share drives and printers) without any login credentials providing workgroup PCs have been configured to allow guest access to their shared resources.
1-2 A-61588 July 2008
Most of the Scan Station’s features can be successfully used in heterogeneous network environments. On the Scan Station, printers are accessed via Microsoft printer drivers, which are installed on the Scan Station using Microsoft Point-and-Print technology. See the section entitled, “Configuring printers” in Chapter 4 for more information.

Operating system requirements

Dependencies Each of the features of the Scan Station are dependent on the

The Configuration Organizer which is installed on a separate PC, requires one of the following operating systems:
• Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 and above
• Windows XP Service Pack 2
Both require Microsoft .Net 2.0 Framework and Microsoft Installer v3.0, which will automatically be installed if not detected.
presence of the network services shown below.
Scan to e-mail — to scan and send documents to an email recipient, the Scan Station must have access to a SMTP-MIME server. If your SMTP server requires authentication before use, you also need to supply credentials to the Scan Station. Supported SMTP authentication types include: simple passwords, NTLM and Challenge Response.
Scan to shared folder — a Windows 98SE, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2000 or Windows Server 2003 based computer must publish their shared folder (the Scan Station’s destination) on the TCP/IP network, and the Scan Station network user must have permissions to access the folder.
Scan to printer — a printer supported by Windows XP must be available on the network.
Scan to FTP folder — the Scan Station can scan documents and send them to an FTP site using either authenticated or anonymous FTP and can also deliver files through a network proxy. Both network proxy and authenticated FTP require login credentials.

configuration and setup
The Configuration Organizer is the center of all Scan Station administration. With the Configuration Organizer you can create administrative configuration files and user configuration files. Setting up the Scan St ation requires the creation of an administrative configuratio n file. The Configuration Organizer must first be installed on a separate computer to properly setup and configure the Scan Station.

Administrative configuration files

Once installed, the Configuration Organizer is used to create an administrative configuration file, which is written to a USB flash drive (the Scan St ation 100 comes with three USB flash drives). To create an administrative configuration file, check Administrator on the File menu of the Configuration Organizer. The administrative configuration file is named KSS100.XML and is written to the flash drive (or any other location) as an encrypted file. Because this file is encrypted, it can only be decoded and read by the Kodak Scan Station 100 or the Configuration Organizer. This f ile can also be password protected, both on the USB flash drive and when it is written to the Scan Station. Once the file is written to the USB flash drive, the configuration file can be transported and installed on the Scan Station (see the following diagram).
1-4 A-61588 July 2008
The Scan Station automatically detects the presence of a USB flash drive and will search the drive for a KSS100.XML file. If the file is valid, the contents are examined for further actions. If the contents of the configuration file do not match the exact contents of the configuration currently stored on the Scan St ation, the administrator will be prompted to update the Scan Station with the contents of the configuration file on the flash drive. The administrator may or may not choose to update the Scan Station at this time.
If the OK button is selected, the administrator will be prompted, through a sequence of screens, to allow the configuration of the Scan Station.
If the Cancel button is selected, the Scan Station will be placed into administrative configuration mode. In this mode, the Scan Station automatically displays the Settings mode screen. The administrator can scroll through each of the setting groups and make modifications to each of the values. Any setting that requires more than a simple selection (e.g. a typed entry) will display a virtual keyboard that allows the entry of more complex data.
All changes to the Scan Station settings are saved to the Scan Station immediately and requires no further action on the part of the administrator. For more information about updating your Scan Station, see the section entitled, “Updating your Scan Station” in Chapter 5.
NOTE: Be careful when using the Scan Station in this mode, as it is
easy to inadvertently change settings. The Scan Station will remain in administrative configuration mode as long as the USB flash drive is inserted in the Scan Station. When the flash drive is removed, the Scan S t ation ret urns to “walk-up” mode and the Destinations screen will automatically be displayed.

User configuration files Advanced users can create their own configuration files that contain

personal scanning preferences. These users can start the Configuration Organizer, make the necessary changes to destinations and settings and save it on their USB flash drive. The main differences between a user and administrative configuration are:
• Only user configuration files can define flash drive folders.
• Only administrative configuration files can define printers.
• Only administrative configuration files can be used to modify the default settings on a Scan Station.
Once a user configuration file has been created and stored on a USB flash drive, the flash drive can be taken to a Scan Station and inserted into the USB port. The Scan Station automatically recognizes the presence of the flash drive and loads the settings found in the configuration file. Because it is a “User” configuration file, the user will not be asked or allowed to make any permanent changes to the Scan St ation’s configuration. Instead, all of the user’s destinations will appear on the Scan Station’s display and will be merged with the default destination groups.
The user’s personal destinations will appear in the top toolbar in the same order as the Scan Station’s default groups, except that each of the user’s personal groups will appear with a “User” profile image as part of the icon background.
If the user’s personal configuration contains changes to the scanner settings (all the values found in “Settings” mode), these settings temporarily replace the scanner’s default settings.
A-61588 July 2008 1-5
When a scan job is complete, the user’s USB flash drive can be removed from the Scan Station and the Scan Station display returns to the normal state with all of the default settings restored.
NOTE: For more information about configuring your Scan Station refer
to Chapters 3 and 4. For more information on password protection of the configuration file, refer to the section entitled, “Securing your Scan Station” in Chapter 5.

User types The Scan Station supports three different user types: Administrative,

Advanced and Walkup.
Administrative users are responsible for setting up and maintaining the device.
Advanced users create and carry their custom settings on a USB flash drive that they can use with the Scan Station to make scanning possible with one touch.
Walkup users use the device by navigating through the default options the administrator has setup. Scanning is very easy but the walkup user may not have access to their personal email address book or custom scan settings the way an Advanced user does.

Scan Station security To ensure adequate security, the Scan Station will not read any

program or file from a USB flash drive, or any other removable USB device, other than a valid, encrypted configuration file created by the Configuration Organizer and a firmware update file created by Kodak.
The Scan St ation uses a firewall and blocks nearly all incoming ne twork traffic. It will only respond to an Echo (also known as a ping).
By design, the underlying operating system is not available to the administrator or user . Updates to the operating system and/or the Scan Station firmware will be made available on Kodak’s web site (http:// www.kodak.com/go/disupport) as needed.
The administrator can require a user to login before a scan session. For more information, see the section entitled, “Configuration options” in Chapter 3.
For more information regarding security, see the section entitled, “Securing your Scan Station” in Chapter 5.

4 Configuring the Scan Station

Chapter 4 provides step-by-step procedures for configuring the Scan Station. Some of these procedures require more detailed information. Specific section references are made throughout this chapter as to where to find more detailed information in Chapter 5, Scan Station Administration Specifics.

Selecting your default Scan Station settings

The Scan Station can be configured with default values for settings such as; Scan As, File Type, File Name Settings, etc. These defaults will be used when scanning documents unless they are changed by the user prior to scanning. If your organization typically scans black and white documents into PDF files, you may want to change the default settings to Scan As: Black and White.
1. Double-click the Configuration Organizer icon on your desktop to launch the application. Because you are setting up your Scan Station, you should select the Administrator option under the File menu.
2. Select the Settings button to display the Configuration screen.
A-61588 July 2008 4-1

Scan As 1. If the Scan As icon is not visible on the toolbar, click the right arro w

until it is displayed.
NOTE: Certain selections will modify the content of other screens. For
example, if you select Black and White, you cannot select JPEG output on the File Type screen.
2. Select the type of document (Color, Grayscale, Black and White) that will most typically be scanned by your organization.
NOTE: If Black and White is selected, a dialog box will be
displayed allowing you to select Best (iThresholding) or
Normal (ATP). It is recommended that the default, Best (iThresholding) is selected. If Best is selected, you can
change the values on the Black and White Adjustments screen. For more information, see the section entitled, “Black and White Adjustments“ later in this chapter.
4-2 A-61588 July 2008

File Type 1. If the File Type icon is not visible o n the toolbar, click the right arrow

until it is displayed.
2. Select the file type (PDF, TIFF, JPEG) that will most typically be created by your organization.
PDF - Searchable (Image + Text) — creates a single- or multi-
page document that contains both text and image data. This type of document uses OCR technology to read the scanned page and extracts text information from the image data. When you select this option, a screen is displayed allowing four different options for creating PDF files.
- Quality, will display a screen which allows you to select a Good, Better or Best quality option. Selecting Good, Better, or Best, presets the dpi settings. As a result, the separate dpi settings will not have any effect when scanning in PDF mode.
- Language, this option is only available when you select PDF ­Searchable (Image + Text). When you select Language, the
Language screen will be displayed. This screen allows you to select the language you want used in the Optical Character Recognition employed to generate the PDF file which can be subsequently searched.
- Single Pages allows you to create a PDF file for every page scanned. If scanning a two-sided document, a file will be created for both the front and back page.
- Secure allows you to enter a password that will be used to encrypt the file before the file can be delivered. The password will be sent in a separate email when Email is one of the destination selection.
A-61588 July 2008 4-3
PDF - Image Only — creates a single- or multi-page document that contains only scanned data as a bitmap image. PDF files created with this option are not text searchable. When you select this option, a screen is displayed allowing three different options for creating PDF files.
- Quality, will display a screen which allows you to select a Good, Better or Best quality option. When saving a file as PDF, predefined scanner resolution settings will be used when selecting Good (150 dpi), Better (200 dpi), and Best (300 dpi). The scanner dpi settings will not be used and will be ignored when scanning in PDF mode.
- Single Pages allows you to create a PDF file for every page scanned. If scanning a two-sided document, a file will be created for both the front and back page.
- Secure allows you to enter a password that will be used to encrypt the file before the file can be delivered. The password will be sent in a separate email when Email is one of the destination selection.
JPEG — this option is only available if your Scan As selection is Color or Grayscale. JPEG creates multiple files, one for each side of a scanned page. If you select this option, you can select a JPEG quality of Draft, Good, Better, Best or Superior.
NOTE: The quality settings will greatly impact the final size of the
file (Draft producing the smallest file size and Superior producing the largest file size).
TIFF - Multi Page — creates a single file that contains all of the scanned pages.
TIFF - Single Page — creates multiple files, one for each side of a scanned page.
NOTES:
Color/Grayscale TIFF documents can only be Uncompressed or JPEG compressed. Black and white documents can either be uncompressed, JPEG compressed or compressed with Group 4 compression.
All faxed documents will be delivered as black and white, Group 4 compressed TIFF images.
PDF files are not effected by the dpi settings used, and are affected only by the Good, Better, or Best options.
4-4 A-61588 July 2008

4-6 A-61588 July 2008

File Name Settings The Configuration Organizer allows you to define values that determine

the location and file name used when creating scanned documents. The File Name Settings option allows you to define a Folder Name where all scanned documents will be placed when scanning to either a network folder or a USB flash drive destination. You can also define the File Name Prefix that will be applied to every scanned document created. Scanned documents are typically created with this prefix and have an optional date and time stamp appended to the prefix. For example, if you define a prefix of receipts and a folder name of 2007, the scanned document file name will have the format:
receipts_20070117_092219.tif and will be placed in a folder called
2007.
1. Define the Folder Name where all scanned documents will be placed when scanning to a network shared folder, FTP location or flash drive destination.
2. Define the File Name Prefix that will be used for creating each scanned document. This prefix will be used as the file name with a date and time stamp appended. The appropriate file name extension will be appended (.pdf, .jpg, .tif).
NOTE: You can define the default Folder Name where scanned
documents will be placed if scanning to a network or USB flash drive destination. If you leave the Folder Name blank, the file will be created in the root directory of the configured destination. You can also define the default File Name Prefix that will be used to create each scanned document. If no changes are made, the default file name prefix will be used.
A-61588 July 2008 4-7
The Advanced option provides access to two additional options: Interactively Name Scanned Files and Add Date/Time Stamp.
Interactively Name Scanned Files — selecting this option will
require the user to enter a file name for each destination selected during a scan job. This option should be used with caution as it will require an extra step each time a document is scanned.
Add Date/Time Stamp — by default, Date and Time Stamps are
appended to each file name the Scan Station creates. If the user wants, they can turn this option off. When turning this option off, only the file name prefix and the appropriate file name extension will be used to create the file name.
For more information, see the section entitled, “File Name settings” in Chapter 5, Scan Station Administration Specifics.

Input Document Is If your organization typically scans one-sided documents, select One

Sided as the default. If Two Sided is selected, the Scan Station will
simultaneously scan the front and back of a document in a single p ass.
•NOTES:
This setting can be changed by a walk-up user for a single scan session if required. The setting will be changed back to the default a t the end of the scan session.
• The two-sided option can be used in conjunction with blank page
detection for better performance. See the section entitled, “Advanced options” later in this chapter to enable blank page detection.
4-8 A-61588 July 2008

Resolution Select a default resolution from 75 to 600 d pi. 200 dpi is the default. For

best OCR results, if you are creating a PDF.

Document Type If your documents typically contain a mixture of b oth te xt with g r aphics,

keep this option as the default. Otherwise, select the document type that will most frequently be scanned by your organization.
A-61588 July 2008 4-9

Black and White Adjustments

click the green button next to the value. This selects the value and closes the dialog box.
NOTE: If your Scan As selection is Color or Grayscale, the Contrast
and Threshold settings are disabled.
4-10 A-61588 July 2008

Copies for Printing This option is not intended to be used during the configuration setup.

Any changes to this during configuration will be ignored. This value is intended to be set for each scan session by the user. The default is 1.

Advanced option The Advanced option allows you to select the Blank Image Detection

option. This option is used to detect blank pages (i.e., the back side of a document), so these pages can be discarded. This is typically used when scanning black and white documents to either TIFF or PDF. For black and white documents the default is 5 KB. The default threshold changes depending on the Scan As setting. Document images that fall below the threshold will be discarded.
NOTE: The Blank Page Detection feature should not be used when
scanning color documents, as it will not accurately detect blank pages in this mode.

Importing an email address book

CSV (comma separated value) files are data files that represent database information. Each row contains individual dat a values that are separated by a comma. Each comma found on a line of text represents a column of data from the original dat abase. The example below shows typical data exported from Microsoft’s Outlook Express. Note that the first row contains the data column header information and not actual data.
First Name,Last Name,E-mail Address Smith,John,johnsmith@rochester.rr.com Tom,Brown,Tombrown123@yahoo.com William,Doe,wdoe@msn.com
Outlook Express allows you to export your email address book to a comma-separated file. When exporting your email address book a dialog box will be displayed that provides the selection of which data columns to export.
Other mail programs may or may not provide this selection capability. To simplify the process it is recommended that only the first name, last name, and email address be exported. Once the file is exported, it can then be imported into the Configuration Organizer.
Many email client applications will automatically export the column headings as the first row of data. When using the Configuration Organizer, the Import Email Addresses dialog box p rovides you with the ability to “skip first row” of data. Some email applications will also export the data with additional quote characters surrounding the data. The Configuration Organizer will remove these quotes prior to importing the data.
The following data: “First Name”,”Last Name”,”E-mail Address”
"John","Smith","johnsmith@rochester.rr.com" "Tom","Brown","Tombrown@yahoo.com" "William","Doe","wdoe@msn.com"
will be changed to:
First Name,Last Name,E-mail Address John,Smith,johnsmith@rochester.rr.com Tom,Brown,Tombrown@yahoo.com William,Doe,wdoe@msn.com
After browsing and selecting a CSV file, a preview will be displayed showing the results of the file Column Location selections. As the column selections are changed, the preview will reflect these changes.
For example, if the three file Column Location values are 1, 2, and 3, then based on the example data shown above, the preview would display the following:
First Name Last Name Email Address
The first name and last name are combined to form the email address display name. The email address is used to create the actual email address.
4-22 A-61588 July 2008
To further illustrate, if all three Column Location values were set to 1, then the preview would look like:
First name First Name First Name
To import your email address book:
1. In the Configuration Organizer window, access Destination mode and select the email group you want to import your email address book to.
2. Select Edit>Import E-mail Addresses. The Import E-mail Addresses dialog box will be displayed.
3. Specify the file containing the addresses. If necessary, use the Browse button to help locate the file.
4. If your list has a title row and you do not want to import the title row information, check Skip first row of data.
A-61588 July 2008 4-23
5. Specify the columns in the CSV file that contain data for First Name, Last Name, and Email Address.
The First Name, Last Name, and E-mail Address fields allow you to map these values to the columns in which they appear in the CSV file.
6. Click Import. The email addresses from the CSV file are added to the Email group that you selected on the Configuration Organizer window.
The Configuration Organizer will report the number of email addresses successfully imported.

Adding addresses using LDAP

If you have the LDAP server correctly configured, you can use this connection to search the network address book for email addresses. Any addresses found while searching can be added to the currently selected email group. To add an email address:
1. Click the Search icon on the main Configuration Organizer toolbar. The keyboard will be displayed.
2. Enter the last name of the person you are searching for and click Done. The Address Search Results list will be displayed.
3. Select one or more of the addresses found in the list and click Done. The addresses will be added to the email group.
NOTE: If more than 20 addresses are found that match the search
criteria, you may want to refine your search by adding more information, such as the first name of the person you are searching. e.g., “smith joe” instead of just “smith”.
4-24 A-61588 July 2008

Configuring FTP destinations

FTP destinations require a slightly different configuration than the o ther destinations. The Configuration Organizer allows you to configure both FTP and proxy server settings. Depending on your network configuration you may or may not have to communicate with FTP sites through a proxy server. For each FTP destination you can specify individual username and password settings. This is important as you may be communicating with FTP sites located at different comp anies or on different company servers.
1. Select Edit>Add Group>FTP. The Add: Ftp Folder dialog box will be displayed.
2. Make an entry in the Description, Folder, Username and Password fields. The Folder field should contain a complete path to the FTP site including the subfolder into which scanned documents will be placed. For example, //ftp.acme.com/documents would connect to the FTP site ftp.acme.com and place the scanned documen ts in the folder documents.
NOTE: Any additional folders defined in the File Naming Settings
screen will also be used when creating the scanned documents. See the section entitled, “File Name Settings” earlier in this chapter.
3. If the FTP site communicates on a port other than Port 21, change the value using the up and down arrows.
4. You may optionally select Passive if required by the FTP server. Passive is most commonly used if the FTP site is outside the firewall.
5. If you do not want the address added to the list alphabetically, click Add to list alphabetically to uncheck it. This will add the item to the list in chronological order.
6. If your company requires the use of proxy servers, click the Proxy button and go to the next section; otherwise click OK.
A-61588 July 2008 4-25

Specifying Proxy settings If your company requires the use of a proxy server before

communicating with an FTP site, you must define these proxy settings by clicking on the Proxy button. The Proxy Settings dialog box will be displayed.
1. Select the Proxy Type. USER after login and None are the only two supported options at this time.
2. If USER after login is selected, the rest of the fields are available. Enter the Proxy Address in the form of a Fully Qualified Domain Name (e.g., FTP.acme.com) or as an IP address.
3. Enter the Username and Password required to access the proxy server.
4. If the proxy server is configured to communicate on a port other than Port 21, change or enter the value using the up and down arrows or keyboard.
5. Click OK.
4-26 A-61588 July 2008

Configuring printers The Scan Station uses the Microsoft “Point and Print” technology for

installing print drivers and connecting to network printers. Typically, network printers are attached to print servers which manage the scheduling of print jobs for one or more network printers. These print servers manage print queues for each connected printer and can also deliver and install print drivers to other network PCs or devices.
The Scan Station can connect to printers in the following ways:
• Connect to a printer that is connected to a print server on a network
domain.
• Connect to a printer that is shared by another computer on a network
workgroup.
• Connect to a network printer that is directly connected to the network
via an Ethernet cable plugged directly into a router or hub.
In each of these scenarios, Microsoft Windows may also require login credentials for any device requesting access to a network printer. Each of the scenarios listed above is described in more detail below.

Connecting to a printer that is connected to a print server on a network domain

1. Enter any text that describes the printer in the Description field.
2. Enter the fully qualified path to the print server and print queue (e.g., \\printservername\printqueue or \\192.168.1.101\printqueue).
NOTE: The use of IP addresses when accessing a print server is
guaranteed to resolve the path to the printer . Fully qualified domain names may not resolve in certain network environments.
3. If the network domain is configured to require authentication to install a printer driver, enter the Username, Password, and Network Domain names.
4. When finished, click OK.
NOTE: If proper authentication is not provided, the printer and its driver
may not be installed on the Scan Station.
A-61588 July 2008 4-27

Connecting to a printer shared by another computer on the network workgroup

1. Enter any text that describes the printer in the Description field.
2. Enter the fully qualified path to the Shared computer and the share name assigned to the printer (e.g., \\mypc\sharedprinter or \\192.168.1.101\sharedprinter).
NOTE: The use of IP addresses when accessing a print server is
guaranteed to resolve the path to the printer . Fully qualified domain names may not resolve in certain network environments.
3. If the PC requires authentication credentials to access the shared printer, enter the Username and Password. Leave the Domain Name blank.
4. When finished, click OK.

Connecting to a network printer that is directly connected to the network

This option is more complicated than the other two in that it requires the printer to be shared by a PC on the network at least temporarily, while the printer drivers are downloaded and installed on the Scan Station.
Before setting up a printer that is directly connected to the network, the printer must first be “shared” from a computer on the network. The shared printer must also be configured to provide a Windows XP driver for the printer. Once shared, there are two pieces of information you must gather from this computer: the driver name and the port name.
On the PC that is sharing the printer:
1. Click Start>Settings>Printers and Faxes and select the installed Printer. The control panel for this printer will be displayed.
2. Write down the Driver Name as it appears on the Control Panel. The location of this information may be different for each printer.
A-61588 July 2008 4-29
3. On the Ports tab of the Control Panel, write down the exact text that appears on the selected Port value.
NOTE: As shown below, this would be “IP_192.168.2.137”.
4. Return to the Configuration Organizer and select or create a printer group and select Edit>Add Item.
5. Enter any text that describes the printer in the Description field.
6. Enter the IP address of the network printer (e.g., \\192.168.2.137).
7. Enter the Username and Password and optional Network Domain that will be used as credentials on the PC that is temporarily sharing the network printer.
4-30 A-61588 July 2008
8. Click the Advanced button to display the Advanced dialog box.
9. Enter the fully qualified address to the PC that is sharing the printer (see Step 1) including the share name (e.g. \\workgrouppc\BrotherH).
10.With the information gathered in Steps 1 and 2, enter the driver name and the port name in their respective fields.
11.Click OK on both the Advanced and Add: Printer dialog boxes.
The printer driver will be installed from the sharing PC. A connection will be made between the printer and the Scan Station using the IP address entered on the Add: Printer dialog box. After the initial installation, the shared printer connection is no longer required and the Scan Station will be able to communicate directly with the network printer.
12.Click Advanced to display the Advanced dialog box.
The Advanced dialog box allows you to enter the information required to access the printer driver on the shared PC. This information will be used to install the printer driver on the Scan Station.
13.Enter the fully qualified address to the shared PC and the printer share name. (e.g. \\workgroupPC\BrotherH, \\192.168.2.137\BrotherH)

File Naming settings The Scan Station offers several ways you can customize how scanned

documents are delivered to their final destinations. While in Settings mode you can select the File Name Settings icon which provides three options for naming and delivering your scanned documents:
• Folder Name
• File Name Prefix
• Advanced: provides two additional settings that allow you to
optionally add a date and time stamp to the resulting scanned file name, and allows the user to interactively name files as they are delivered to each destination.
Folder Name — allows you to define the final folder(s) where scanned documents are deposited. This option only pertains to documents that are being scanned to either a Network destination (FTP or shared folder) or a USB flash drive. If a folder name is defined, it will be appended to the full path selected in the destination. For example, if a network folder defined as: \\myserver\myfolder\docs is selected and the Folder Name is set to “designdocs” then the scanned document is placed in the following folder: \\myserver\myfolder\docs\designdocs.
If multiple folder levels are defined in the Folder Name field, the scanned documents will be placed in the full path defined by the destination and the “Folder Name”. In the previous example, if the “Folder Name” was defined as “designdocs\worddocs” then the scanned document is placed in
\\myserver\myfolder\docs\designdocs\worddocs.
In either case, if the path to the final destination does not exist, then the Scan Station attempts to create the full path to the destination. This is true for network destinations as well as USB flash drive destinations. As in the previous example, if the sub-folders docs and/or worddocs did not exist, they would be created prior to copying the scanned document providing the Scan Station account has appropriate user rights.
File Name Prefix — allows the user to define the file name used when copying the scanned document to it’s destination. If this field is left blank, the default file name KSS100 will be used. However, if a special file name needs to be defined, then the user can enter the file name of their choice. For example, if the following entry is made for File Name Prefix: “Receipt” then all files created would take on the form of “Receipt_20070120_100155.xxx” where the .xxx represents the appropriate file name extension (either .jpg, .tif or .pdf) and “20070120_100155” represents the date and time the file was created.
5-2 A-61588 July 2008
Advanced — provides two additional settings that allow you to optionally add a date and time stamp to the resulting scanned file name, and allows the user to interactively name files as they are delivered to each destination. The Add Date and Time St amp option is the default. This is the default so when documents are scanned and delivered to the selected destination, they will always have a unique name. This also avoids inadvertently overwriting existing files. The Interactively Name Files option allows the user to name the scanned document just before it is delivered to each destination. Before copying the document to the selected destination, the Scan S t ation displays the virtual keyboard on the display and allows the user to enter a new file name.
NOTE: Be careful when enabling the Interactively Name Files option,
as it requires user interaction for each selected destination. For example, if the user selects five different destinations, they will be prompted five times to enter a file name.

E-mail groups Chapter 4 provided procedures for creating, modifying and deleting

groups of destinations and the items within destination groups. Examples were provided that were pertinent to all groups of destinations. This section discusses a special case for creating email groups. Ordinarily, email groups contain a list of entries that consist of one e-mail address per entry. However, you can create a list within a single entry within the email group. The following illustration describes both the typical case of one email address per item, followed by an example that has multiple addresses per entry.
Example 1
The Description field cont ains a mail re cipient’ s name, and the Address field contains a single email address.
Description: John Doe Address: john.doe@acme.com
Example 2
The Description field contains a group name, and the Address field contains multiple email addresses separated by commas.
Description: John Doe Family Group Address: john.doe@acme.com, jane.doe@hypernet.net,
juniordoe@statecollege.edu By separating a list of email addresses with a comma, a gro up o f email
addresses is created. As this entry is created, each email address in the Address field is validated to ensure the proper format. If an improper email address is entered, the following message will be displayed:

Securing your Scan Station

Network security is an important part of every day business and it is important that network devices do not allow intrusions from outside sources. The Scan S tation 100 is configured to prevent externa l attacks from the Internet, and from direct access by users. With this in mind, several steps were taken to block access to the Scan Station’s operating system.
• First, the Scan Station has an internal firewall active that only allows
a response to an “echo (ping)” command. Inbound ports are blocked and will not respond to queries from the network.
• Second, the Scan St ation is protected f rom external intrusions via the
USB ports found on the front and back of the device. The operating system is configured to disable any auto-run action that could occur when presenting a new USB device to the system. The Scan Station application recognizes the presence of a USB removable device, but will only open and read files that have been created and encrypted specifically for use by the Scan Station. Any file found on a removable device that is not properly encrypted will be ignored. This makes it almost impossible to introduce a virus from inserting a removable device with an infected executable.
• Finally, viruses frequently find their way into a network-connected
computer via email. Most viruses are spread as email attachments and infect a computer after the email has been opened and the attachment executed. The Scan Station does not receive any incoming emails, therefore, it cannot be infected in this manner.

Password protecting your configuration file

There are several ways an administrator can secure the Scan Station using passwords. As previously described in Chapter 3, the administrator can add a password (32-character alphanumeric PIN) to any administrative configuration file created (select User>Configuration Password and enter a password). This prevents access to the configuration file in the following ways:
• If the configuration file is saved with this password, it cannot be read
by a user running the Configuration Organizer without knowing the password. Upon insertion of a flash drive that contains a password­protected configuration file, the user will be prompted to enter the password. Failure to correctly enter the password forces the Configuration Organizer to ignore the file and proceed as if no file exists.
• When a password configuration file is used to update a Scan S t ation,
the password is applied to the configuration on the Scan Station and any attempts to modify the Scan Station’s configuration requires the entry of the correct password before any changes can be made. Because of this protection it is imperative that the password be kept in a safe place and not forgotten. If the password is forgotten, it will require you to contact Kodak Service to unlock the Scan Station.
5-4 A-61588 July 2008

Password protecting your Scan Station (user access)

Another password protection feature is assigning a 32-character alphanumeric password directly to the Scan Station. This requires any user wanting to use the Scan S tation to know the p assword prior to use. This is intended for use in companies or departments that have sensitive material that they want to prevent being scanned and distributed. The device password setting is found on the Configuration Organizer while in “Settings” mode. By clicking on the Device icon and selecting Device Password, you can enter a password that blocks access to all users who do not know the password. On a Scan Station that is password-protected, users will be given three tries to correctly enter the password. After the third failed attempt, the Scan Station will display a warning message for several minutes and return to the password entry screen.
The Device password also works in conjunction with the inactivity timer built into the Scan St ation. In normal operation, af ter a Scan Station has been used and has remained idle for one minute, a wa rning screen will be displayed asking the user if they want to reset all Scan Station settings to the default state. If no selections are made, then after two more minutes of inactivity , the device will be returned to its defau lt state. If the user selects OK when the initial warning is displayed, the Scan Station will be returned to its default state immediately. If Cancel is selected, the current configuration settings are maintained, the timer is reset and the Scan Station will start monitoring for inactivity again.

Loading and saving configurations

In addition to assigning a 32-character alphanumeric password, you can require the user to login before starting a scan session. See Chapter 3, “Configuration options” for more information.
The Configuration Organizer is designed to monitor the Windows operating system for removable device events, which signal the insertion and removal of USB devices (e.g., the USB Flash Memory device supplied with each Scan Station). Because of this, the Configuration Organizer cannot detect a flash drive unless the application is running. Follow the recommendations below when creating and modifying configuration files:
1. Always start the Configuration Organizer before inserting a USB flash drive. If the flash drive is inserted before starting the Configuration Organizer, remove the flash drive and reinsert it.
2. If you insert a USB flash drive that has a configuration file on it, prior to making any edits, the configuration file will be recognized and loaded into the Configuration Organizer.
3. When saving your configuration, you will have an option of saving the configuration file to a flash drive AND to a local backup. Using the Save to local backup option only creates a backup of the last edited configuration file.
4. The configuration file is always named KSS100.xml. If you want to save different versions of this file, it is recommended that you create multiple folders which are named appropriately.
A-61588 July 2008 5-5
5. If you start by editing a new configuration file and insert a flash drive after edits have been made, any configuration file on the flash drive will be ignored and not loaded.
6. When saving to any location, if a configuration file is present, you will be asked if it is OK to overwrite the file.
7. If you started the Configuration Organizer, made changes and select File>Open, you will be notified that Changes ha ve not been saved and will be lost. Are you sure you want to continue? Selecting No will stop the Configuration Open process.

Updating your Scan Station

Chapter 4 provides information and procedures for setting up and configuring your Scan Station. This section provides more detailed procedures for updating your Scan Station.
An administrative configuration file can be created using the Configuration Organizer and saved to a USB flash drive. There are three methods of updating the Scan Station.
1. Method 1. The administrative configuration file is stored on a flash drive, inserted into a Scan Station, which is then updated. This method is manual and must be repeated for each Scan Station on the network. This method was previously described in Chapter 3. See the section entitled, “Updating your Scan Station settings” for procedures.
2. Method 2. The administrative configuration file is stored on a flash drive, with an update package. This causes the Scan Station configuration to be updated and installed with new software to the Scan Station. See the information later in this section for more information.
3. Method 3. The administrative configuration file and optional update package is stored on a network drive and the Scan Station is configured to poll this drive (shared folder) for updates. The Scan Station will automatically recognize the new configuration data or update package and execute an update automatically. See the information later in this section for more information.
5-6 A-61588 July 2008
Method 2 — requires an update package and an administrative configuration file to be copied to a USB flash drive. When the flash drive is inserted into the Scan Station, the internal software recognizes the administrative configuration file and the update package. Once recognized, if the update package is a different version than the currently installed version, the user is prompted to update the Scan Station software. Both the old version number and the version number of the update package will be displayed. If the administrator decides to update the software, all the data found in the update package will be copied to the Scan Station and installed. When the installation is complete, click OK or remove the flash drive and the Scan Station will automatically be restarted.
If the Scan St ation does not rest art, press the green “sof t” button on the back of the Scan Station. The Scan Station will shutdown in a normal manner. This is very important because the final installation of files occurs when the Scan Station is being shut down. Without the shutdown and restart, the Scan Station may not be properly updated and configured.
NOTES:
• It is important to make the distinction between the green “soft” but ton
found on the back of the Scan Station and the main power switch. The main power switch should only be used after the Scan Station has been shutdown via the green “soft” butto n. Using the main power switch will cause an abrupt shutdown of the Scan Station and may occasionally corrupt data files on the Scan Station. This is not recommended.
• You can obtain Update packages from the Kodak website or from
your Kodak service representative. Update p ackages will always be a file called KSS100UPDATE.EXE.
A-61588 July 2008 5-7
Method 3 — the Scan Station software can be configured to monitor a network folder where configuration files and software updates are installed. To set this up:
1. From the Configuration Organizer Settings mode, select the Advanced icon and click Remote Configuration Settings.
From this screen, you can select and define the following values:
• Path to the folder where updates can be found.
• Which day of the week (Daily, or Every Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday).
• The time of day to check for updates (a 24-hour clock).
For example, you may want to monitor the folder \\myserver\updates\myscanstationID on Every Monday, at 7:00 a.m.
There are two ways to remotely configure and update your Scan Station:
Single file/folder update — the administrator creates a sin gle folder
on the network from which all Scan Stations are configured to monitor for updated configuration files. This allows the administrator to push a single configuration to all of the Scan S tations on a net work at one time. This is the recommended method when all of your Scan Stations share the same configuration.
Multiple file/folder update — if each of your Scan Stations require a
different configuration, it is recommended that a common folder is created on the network with subfolders underneath to store individual configuration files for each of the Scan Stations on your network. Each Scan Station should then be configured to monitor the appropriate folder for updates.
5-8 A-61588 July 2008
On the defined day of the week and time, the Scan Station checks for the specified folder on the network, and if found, examines the contents of the folder looking for a KSS100.XML file and an optional KSS100UPDATE.EXE file. If the KSS100.XML file is found, the modification date and time will be compared to the last time a configuration was executed on the Scan Station. If the KSS100.XML file is more current, the configuration settings in the file are applied to the Scan Station. Be sure to carefully select a time of day when the
Scan Station will be idle for automatic updates.
When new configuration files are found, the following sequence of events will occur.
1. If a new update file is found, the contents of the update will be applied to the Scan Station.
2. If newer settings are found, the settings will be applied to the Scan Station as the new default settings.
3. If required, the Scan Station will be restarted. A restart will always occur when an update file is found. The Scan Station will be restarted if the network settings for the Scan Station are modified.
NOTE: Any changes to the device name will be ignored when
using the remote configuration.
Network configura­tion details
If the Scan Station software and the KSS100UPDATE software are at the same revision level, no action will be taken.
NOTE: You can “roll-back” to an older version or update to a newer
version of the Scan Station software. If an older version of the KSS100UDPATE file is placed in the remote configuration folder, the Scan Station will be rolled back to use the older version of the software. If a newer version is found, the Scan Station will be updated with this newer software. These methods are also available using the manual update procedure (Method 1). If a Scan Station is updated back to version 1.5, (the first commercial release), the remote configuration facility will no longer be available, as this option was not yet implemented in version 1.5.
When installing and configuring your Scan Station, there are some things you can do, as an administrator, to prepare for an easier installation. Chapter 2 provides a checklist of information you need to connect the Scan Station to your network. This section details what additional steps you can take to set up your network environment for a n easier Scan Station integration. Because the Scan Station is a network device, a basic knowledge of networking principals and terminology will be helpful. You should be familiar with the concept of creating user accounts (on domains), sharing folders, setting access privileges, the Universal Naming Convention (UNC), using IP addresses, fully qualified domain names (FQDNs) and creating user groups. The rest of this section contains a list of Best Practices to be used when administering Scan Stations.
A-61588 July 2008 5-9
NOTE: Some of the concepts covered in this chapter assume
knowledge of Microsoft NT Domains and permissions. Refer to your documentation for Microsoft Windows Server 2000 or Windows Server 2003 for more information.
Scan Station user groups — for network domain environments, the administrator should create a user group for all Scan Stations. This group will be used to hold account names that are assigned to each Scan Station. Minimally, there should be one account name that is assigned to each Scan St ation. Optima lly, each Scan Station should be assigned its own unique username and password and these accounts should be contained within a group that is reserved specifically for Scan St ations. These account names will be used when configuring the Scan Station’s network settings and entered into the Username, Password, and Network Domain fields.
NOTE: The Scan Station groups and login names must be given
appropriate privileges to access the network resources that the user will see as Destination choices at the Scan Station.
Workgroup environments — for network environments that use the Microsoft “Workgroup” configuration, you may minimally be required to create an account name and password to be assigned to Scan St ations. These account names will be used when configuring the Scan Station’s Network settings and entered into the Username, Password fields. The Network Domain field should be left blank in Workgroup environments.
Network folders — it is recommended that you create network folders, for either Destination or Remote Configuration, that can be accessed (minimally read, write, change access) by any Scan Station login account or by the user group created for Scan Stations.
UNC names for folders — as an administrator, you will need to know the fully qualified UNC name for each network folder that will be used by your Scan Station(s). When configuring network destinations, this will be the information entered into the Address field of the Destination Entry dialog box. For example, you could create a folder called “scanfolder” on a server called “acmeserver” that would be reserved for Scan Station access. You would reference it by the following UNC name: \\acmeserver\scanfolder.
NETBIOS usage — in network environments that use routers it is common practice to block NETBIOS traffic on your router. You may need to know the IP address of the server to which you want to scan documents. By substituting the IP address of the server instead of the NETBIOS computer name, you can bypass the network traffic restrictions that may cause network scanning to fail. For example, the previously defined network address: \\AcmeServer\scanfolder should be replaced with something similar to: \\192.168.2.10\scanfolder.
