ABOUT THE NETWORK SCANNER FUNCTION

When the network scanner function is added to the machine, a document or photo can be scanned into an image file and sent over a network or the Internet to a file server, e-mail destination, or your own computer. The scanned image can be sent to the following types of destinations:

Chapter 1

BEFORE USING THE NETWORK SCANNER FUNCTION

1. The scanned image can be sent to a memory storage device on a network (a designated directory on an FTP server). (This is called "Scan to FTP" in this manual.) When sending scanned image to an FTP server, an e-mail message can also be sent to a preset e-mail address to inform the recipient of the location of the scanned image data. (This is called "Scan to FTP (Hyperlink)" in this manual.)

2. A scanned image can be sent to a computer connected to the same network as the machine. (This is called "Scan to Desktop" in this manual.)

* Before Scan to Desktop can be performed, the

"Network Scanner Tool" software in the CD-ROM that accompanied the Network Scanner Expansion Kit (SG-NS1) must be installed. For the system requirements for Scan to Desktop and the procedure for installing the Network Scanner Tool, see "Network Scanner Expansion kit CD-ROM" (p.37).

3. The scanned image can be sent to an e-mail recipient. (This is called "Scan to E-mail" in this manual.)

* A limit is set in the Web page for the size of

image files that can be sent using Scan to E-mail (p.6).

SETTINGS AND PROGRAMMING REQUIRED FOR THE NETWORK SCANNER FEATURE

To use the Network Scanner feature, settings for the SMTP server, DNS server, and destination addresses must be established. To establish the settings, use a computer that is connected to the same network as the machine to access the machine's Web page.

Storing destinations for Scan to Desktop

The destination for Scan to Desktop is stored by the Sagem Network Scanner Tool Setup Wizard when "Network Scanner Tool" is installed in your computer. For this reason, there is no need to store the Scan to Desktop destination in the Web page. (The Network Scanner Tool is on the CD-ROM that accompanied the Network Scanner Expansion Kit .) For information on Scan to Desktop system requirements, installing the Network Scanner Tool, and storing the destination, see "Network Scanner Expansion kit CD-ROM" (p.37). Normally your computer is stored as the destination by the method indicated above.

The following page for storing Scan to Desktop destination information appears when "Destination" is selected in the menu frame, followed by "Desktop". This page is used by mainly by the system administrator in the following circumstance.

• When another machine with the network scanner function has been added to the same network, and you wish to perform Scan to Desktop from the added machine to a destination programmed in the previously existing machine.

Refer to "Editing and deleting programmed transmission destinations" (p.14), and select the Scan to Desktop destination information that you wish to transfer to the new machine. Enter the displayed information in the same setting screen of the new machine. (When all information has been entered, click "Submit".) If there are additional destinations that you want to transfer to the new machine, repeat this procedure for each destination.

Note that if there are any discrepancies between the newly programmed information and the information in the host computer, transmission and reception may not be possible.

Note

• For detailed explanations of the procedures for establishing settings, click "Help" in the menu frame.

• If you entered a host name in "Hostname or IP Address", you will need to enter the DNS server or WINS server settings. Click "Application" in the menu frame and then click "DNS" or "WINS" in the page that appears to configure the corresponding settings.
