Introduction

Overview

Océ Scanner Agent is a program designed to integrate your wide format
scanner with your overall system through the following two central functions:

■ Océ Scanner Agent contains the drivers necessary to run you scanner.

■ Océ Scanner Agent is an application designed to monitor and control the

functionality of your wide format scanner.

Océ Scanner Agent is designed specifically for Océ wide format scanners
running under Windows 2000 and XP.

Features

Océ Scanner Agent allows you to monitor and control certain functions on
your wide format-scanning device from your Windows interface system tray,
eliminating the need to start up a specific scanning application first.

Here are some of the main features available from this application:

■ Gain visual indication that the scanner is connected to the PC.

■ View the scanner's status, called the Scanner Mode, by moving the mouse

over the scanner icon on the system tray. Status messages include remaining
warm-up time, interface connection errors, and an indication that the scanner
is ready for scanning.

■ View useful Error messages related to the current Scanner Mode.

■ View the load status of the original (media) to be scanned.

■ Setup the scanner's timer to determine times for automatic power-up /

power-down for each day of the week.

■ View information on the scanner device in relation to firmware and hardware

revisions. The information helps you keep track of your upgrades and is
useful for support purposes.

■ Monitor the use and plan the maintenance of the scanner.

■ Initiate a scan of the SCSI, USB or FireWire interface bus.

■ Quick launch of installed scanning applications.

Installation of Scan to Net components

During installation of Océ Scanner Agent, you are prompted to make choices
regarding the Océ Scanner Agent program and Scan to Net functionality. Your
choices depend on how you intend to use the computer you are installing with
Océ Scanner Agent in a scanning configuration.

Your computer will function as a stand alone scan-station. If the computer

will host the scanner device in a stand-alone off-line configuration, i.e., you
will not want to scan to client computers on the network, follow these steps
during installation:

1 At the ‘Select the type of setup you prefer’ choice, select ‘Install Océ Scanner

Agent and SCANserver’ option.

2 At the ‘Select the applications that you want to run at startup’ choice, leave the

‘Run Océ Scanner Agent at startup’ option selected and clear the ‘Run
SCANserver at startup’ option. You can choose to un-select the ‘Run Océ
Scanner Agent at startup’ option, but then program will have to be started
manually every time you start your machine and wish to use it.

Your computer will function as a Scan Server . If the computer will host the

scanner device in a Scan to Net configuration, i.e., you will want to scan to the
host computer and to client computers on the network, follow these steps
during installation:

1 At the ‘Select the type of setup you prefer’ choice, select the ‘Install Océ

Scanner Agent and SCANserver’ option.

2 At the ‘Select the applications that you want to run at startup’ choice, if you

want the SCANserver functionality to always be available, both the ‘Run Océ
Scanner Agent at startup’ and ‘Run SCANserver at startup’ options should be
selected (default). You can choose to un-select one of the options, but then
program will have to be started manually every time you start your machine
and wish to use it.

Your computer will function as a Scan Client If the computer will not host the

scanner device but you want it to receive scanned images from a scanner on
the network, follow these steps during installation:

At the ‘Select the type of setup you prefer’ choice, select the ‘Install
SCANclient only’ option. With this install option selected, the SCANclient
will always be run at start-up.

10 Scanner Maintenance User Manual

You want both SCANserver and SCANclient modules on same machine.

Selecting the Install Océ Scanner Agent and SCANserver option as described
for Scan Server installment, will also install the SCANclient functionality so
your machine can function as both client and server.

Note: This is useful if the scanner is moved between company computers, but

is still to be shared across the network.

However, after installation, you will have to start the SCANclient module
manually by selecting Start button -> Programs -> Océ Scanner Agent ->
SCANclient. You can also add the SCANclient manually to your computer's
Startup Folder to have it started every time you boot.

Installation of the scanner

Once Océ Scanner Agent is successfully installed on your computer, you can
install you scanner.

Note: Please refer to your scanner installation manual for more details.

When the scanner is installed, Windows automatically detects it and also the
drivers installed with Océ Scanner Agent. Follow the instructions on the
screen.
