Introduction

■Introduction

The IP-511 Print Controller is an internal print controller built into the Konica 7165 Copier that offers the capability of letting the copier function as a network scanner and so you can store image data scanned by the copier on the hard disk of the Print Controller and read these data into TWAIN-compliant applications. It also provides a way of sending scanned data as an attachment to email or uploading scanned image data to FTP servers.

Chapter 1 Overview of the Scanning Features

The following offers a brief overview of the scanning features offered by the Print Controller.

■Available Scanning Features

Originals’ image data scanned from the copier’s RADF or platen glass in scanner mode are available to be stored or uploaded as files in the TIFF or PDF format.

This illustration provides an overview of the scanning features.

Scan to Email

Scan to FTP

During scanning preparation, you can set such things as IMAGE ENHANCE, SCAN MODE, SCAN DENSITY, LENS MODE, SCAN SIZE, QUALITY, SPECIAL ORIGINAL, etc.

The scanning features fall into three groups: “Scan to HDD,” “Scan to Email,” and “Scan to FIP.”

1-2

Chapter 1 Overview of the Scanning Features

● Scan to HDD

This feature lets you save scanned data to the hard disk of the print controller.

To scan originals, you need to specify a 4-digit box number from the control panel. This box number is handled as if it were a holder in the print controller’s hard disk.

Scanned data files thus stored on the hard disk are available to be loaded in, edited and stored via networks using TWAIN-capable Windows applications. When loading in scanned data, you need to enter a box number.

Scanned data sitting on the hard disk of the print controller can be deleted only from personal computers on a network.

You can program the print controller to automatically delete scanned data sitting on the hard disk by configuring the [ScanDataAutoDel.] setting in the Print Controller Setup on the control panel. In addition, when the remaining disk space reaches less than 20 MB, your attempt to store scanned data is automatically rejected.

● Scan to Email

This feature transmits scanned data to recipients at specified addresses as attachments to email.

● Scan to FTP

This feature uploads scanned data to specified FTP servers.

1-3

Chapter 1 Overview of the Scanning Features

■ Scanning Process

The process of scanning originals, storing/transmitting and loading in scanned data, may be summed up as follows:

Set originals on the copier, and select a destination on the control panel.

(p.2-1).

Run a scan job. Scanned data is stored/transmitted depending on your settings.

(p.3-1).

Load in from your personal computer scanned data stored on its hard disk.

(p.4-1).

For information regarding using scanned data sent as an attachment to email or scanned data uploaded to FTP servers, refer to the corresponding applications’ manuals.

Chapter 2 Configuring Destination/Storage Location Settings

Here is how to set the settings for destinations to which to send scanned data, as controlled from the copier’s control panel.

■ Choosing destinations to transmit scanned data.

Before you scan originals, you need to decide where to store or transmit scanned data.

1. Load the original to be scanned on the copier’s platen glass or in the RADF.

2. Press the [MODE] button on the control panel to have the SCANNER/SERVER Basic screen appear.

Press the [SCAN] on the SCANNER/SERVER Basic screen.

The [Select Transmission Object] screen appears.

Choose scanned data upload destinations from [E-Mail], [HDD] or [FTP].

The screen corresponding to your choice will appear on which to choose storage locations or recipients.

You can choose destinations for [E-Mail], [HDD] and [FTP] at the same time. The currently selected setting tag (E-Mail, HDD or FTP) is highlighted in reverse image.

You need to shift the copier to the key operator mode to change or delete the currently registered recipients/storage locations. For more on this, refer to the “Copier’s INSTRUCTION MANUAL.”
