Updating Thumbnails
If the Auto Create option for the individual management object folder is
activated, the program will detect any modifications in a file and
automatically update the thumbnails. Depending on the sequence of the
thumbnail creation, the current creation could be delayed for a specific file.
In order to update the thumbnails automatically, follow the steps
mentioned below.

First Steps
Rotating Thumbnails
The rotating function is only effective when the document is an image file.
It will not only rotate the thumbnails, but will also change the contents of
the document files. This may increase the file size of non-reversible
compressed file types such as JPEG. This is due to expanding the
compressed file first and then rotating the image in order to minimize
degradation of the image quality.
In order to rotate image files, follow the steps mentioned below:
1 Select one or several thumbnails to be rotated in the thumbnail view.
❍ Click on the arrow buttons of a “Virtual Merge“ mode until the
document file desired is displayed, see "Thumbnail Scrolling of a
Virtual Merge Mode" on page 5-12.
2 Select “Rotate“ from the “View“ menu or “Context“ menu.
❍ Choose either “90°(Right)“, “90°(Left)“ or “180°“.
The selected thumbnails will rotate. If the selected file contains
multiple pages of images, all the pages will be rotated.
When you try to rotate a document file containing marker(s), a warning will
be displayed.
➜ Click on the [YES] button if you want to delete the marker information
and rotate the image.
➜ Click on the [NO] button if you want to cancel the operation.
✎
Notes
If you select multiple files, the execution of the function will rotate all
the applicable document files selected. Clicking on the [NO] button in
the “Marker Deletion Warning“ dialog box will proceed to a next file.
Even if multiple files are selected and if no applicable files are
selected, this operation is not valid.

This chapter provides information on how to attach document files to an
e-mail message and on how to set up the FTP server functionality of
PageScope Cabinet.
9.1Attaching Document Files to E-Mail Messages
PageScope Cabinet allows you to attach document files to e-mail
messages.
In order to attach a document file to an e-mail message, follow the step
mentioned below.
➜ Drag the document file or “Virtual Merge“ mode by the left mouse
button and drop it onto the e-mail icon in the “Application Launch“
window.
The sending screen of your e-mail application will be displayed.
✎
Notes
The e-mail icon will vary depending on the e-mail software installed. If
there is no e-mail application installed on your computer, the e-mail
icon will not be displayed.
When you send a document file as an attachment to an e-mail by using
the drag and drop function to drop a file onto the mailer icon, the
document file name will be transcribed into the subject line and the
body of the message.

9.2 FTP Server Function
PageScope Cabinet offers a function to become an FTP server. Thus, it
can receive document files from the devices connected to a network and
take in data from Minolta Mulifunctional Products.
The PageScope Cabinet FTP server cannot be used if another FTP server
is installed on your PC. For example, the program package “Internet
Information Server“ for Windows NT/2000 contains such a FTP server.
Security
You can prevent FTP users from accessing folders higher in the hierarchy
than a specified folder (FTP Root Folder) by setting FTP Root Folder
through System environment setting. This also enables document files to
be sent to the default management object folder through the network
when using a network compliant device by creating the Auto-Intake folder
under the FTP Root Folder, see "Location Setting for the Folders /
Location" on page 4-5.

Appendix
10Appendix
This chapter provides a glossary as well as an index.
10.1Glossary
The following terms often appear when using PageScope Cabinet and
when reading this User’s Manual:
Actual Merge
An operation which combines multiple documents into a single file. This
operation does not modify the original documents and generate a PDF file
or a multiple-page TIFF file.
Auto-Intake Folder
Document files with extension “pdf“, “tif“, or “tiff“ in this folder are
automatically transferred to the “Default Management Object“ folder. If a
file transferred from the “Auto-Intake“ folder to the “Default Management
Object“ folder has the same name as a file already existing in the “Default
Management Object“ folder, PageScope Cabinet will modify the file name.
For example, the target file name should be “MyPict.jpg“. As “MyPict.jpg“
is already existing a file named “MyPict.1.jpg“ will be created.
Character Recognition
Refers to the extraction of searchable character strings from document
files. Characters from an image file are extracted through OCR
processing.
Default Management Object Folder
A standard management object folder defined by default in PageScope
Cabinet. The Default Management Object Folder must exist in Page
Scope Cabinet. Documents with the extensions “pdf“, “tif“, or “tiff“ in the
Auto-Intake folder will be automatically transferred to this folder.
Document File
File formats which can be handled by this system, e.g. image formats,
PDF, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, etc.
Folder
Directories in the Windows file system which are constructed in a
hierarchy.
Keyword
Sequences of strings (words) which are registered on each document in
order to classify it. They are registered by users.
Example: fun, park, company, sea...

Appendix
Management Object Folder
A folder which is managed by PageScope Cabinet. If you designate a
folder as a management object folder, you can use various facilities in
PageScope Cabinet such as a thumbnail display and search function.
Marker
Generic term for symbols, lines and stamps such as ● and ▲.
You can designate a line style and colour for the markers except for
stamps.
Tag
Sequences of strings (phrases) which are added to the document by the
user.
Thumbnail
Minimized images of data on the first page of the document.
Virtual Merge mode
A mode of the merged documents combined by an operation which
hypothetically combines multiple documents in order to handle them as a
single file. This operation does not modify the original documents. This is
similar to binding paper documents using paper clips in real life so that you
can extract one of the documents or add a new document file.
OCR
Abbreviation for “Optical Character Recognition“. The software converts a
printed document imported through a scanner into an editable text file.
OCR processing
Is a concept peculiar to PageScope Cabinet. PageScope Cabinet can
generate images from an image file and can then convert any characters
contained in the images into editable text data. This process is referred to
as OCR processing.
Searchable Text
PageScope Cabinet can register searchable text corresponding to
document files. It can also register character strings extracted from
images through OCR processing as searchable text. PageScope Cabinet
can display searchable text in a text display window.
