[1] GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
This built-in network scan system realizes a highly efficient document
distribution with simple and easy operations.
Major features
The built-in network scan system has the following major functions:
• An integrated solution with a multi-function machine (scanner) and
Sharpdesk
• The minimum additional cost allows to use the network scan function.
• Email distribution scan/network device
• Distinct switch among scan, copy, fax, and print job
1. Built-in network scanner
This network scan system is provided with the "Scan and forward"
architecture, and sends documents to the following destinations:
• User's desktop and Sharpdesk (by use of FTP)
• Email receiver (by use of SMTP)
• FTP server (by use of FTP)
The scanned data is stored in memory on the printer controller at the
SPF's nominal speed, and sent to the planned receiver through the
back channel of NIC socket interface.
2. User interface of Sharpdesk and Network
Scanner Tool
The first desktop software of this network scan system is Sharpdesk
and Network Scanner Tool.
• Sharpdesk includes programs which control and edit image documents, convert into text files by use of OCR, and convert files of different types into one print document.
• Network Scanner Tool include the FTP server which is provided with
a function to monitor reception of scanned data.
The icon in the system tray of the desktop of Windows 95/98/NT/Me/
2000 indicates this application. When a new file is detected in the
directory, this application sends a command to Sharpdesk to get
started and process the file.
• Data stored by the Network Scanner Tool can be obtained also by
the TWAIN I/F.
Network Scanner Tool have the interface to specify or select the IP
address of the multi-function machine which is to be set by the user on
network scan. This interface is used to open the built-in server of the
machine with the user's Internet browser.
3. Network scan user interface
The elements of network scanner control should be provided in two different positions as stated below.
A. Control panel of the multi-function machine
Selection of Destination profile is made by the user with the control
panel of the multi-function machine.
B. Web master tool
The system administrator and the user make settings of destination
profile, email receivers, desktop receivers for the email server, DNS
server, and FTP server, and other items related to administration and
installation through the built-in Web server.
These operations are performed with a Web browser.
4. Server software
This system depends on the FTP which is used by the user and the
SMTP mail server which is used.

[2] FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS
1. Image file distribution
This network scan system distributes scanned image data files to each
destination through the network. Transfer must be supported to the file
server, the mail server, and the client PC. To realize this, the system
must be provided with the following functions:
• E-mail distribution scan: As an attached file in TIFF/PDF format
• Desktop distribution scan
• File server storage scan
• File server storage scan: The hyper link is sent by an e-mail simultaneously.
All file transfer operations should be performed by use of the following
standards:
• Industry standard network protocol such as TCP/IP
• Industry standard transfer system such as SMTP/E-mail and FTP
A. E-mail distribution scan
This system sends documents to an e-mail system by SMTP, and to a
receiver through the e-mail system. The network scanner supports the
following e-mail systems at the time of introduction to the market.
• Microsoft Exchange
• Lotus Notes
• Novel GroupWise
• Send Mail
B. Desktop distribution scan
The network scanner sends back the document directly to the user's
desktop. At that time, the desktop application, Sharpdesk, is automatically booted. Use of Sharpdesk allows image view, correction, attachment of note, edit, character recognition (OCR), document save, and
conversion into PDF format. In addition, scan, print, send function (email, FAX), document combine, and boot of other application can be
made easily by use of the user interface. The option of image correction can be also set.
C. File server storage scan
This system allows the user to perform direct scan of documents for
any FTP server. This system controls the transfer by utilizing the user
ID, password, and directory information. The user can upload the
scanned files to the file server as one file or as plural files. An e-mail
address can be specified to transmit the hyperlink to the user.
2. Making of image file
The network scanner makes images in an industry standard format.
The system utilizes the hardware in the existing built-in system to the
maximum in order to make files in the maximum quality and at the
maximum efficiency.
The file type, the resolution, and the mode can be changed. The following file formats are supported:
• TIFF (Non-compressed or compressed G3/G4)
• PDF (Non-compressed or compressed G3/G4)
[3] INTERFACE FOR USER AND
ADMINISTRATOR
The user interface, which controls the network scan operation, can be
operated simply and easily. The user and the administrator can use
two kinds of interface to change the operations. The Web interface is
mainly for the administrator, and the multi-function machine's interface
is for the user. The details are described later.
1. Web interface
Administration of the network scanner is a part of the built-in HTTP
administration project planned for LEOPARD. The details of this operation are described in the Web Page specifications of LEOPARD. The
outline figure is shown below.
A. Screen composition
The screen is divided into two basic sections.
Home
Network scanner
Destination profile Setup
B. Destination profile screen
This screen is used to set the destination profile for the e-mail desktop
and the filer server. The destination profile includes information for
sending image files to the last positions. The profile is displayed on the
screen when the scan mode is started. The administrator can set a
password for protection of this section.
C. Setup screen
This screen is protected by a password, and used to set the network
scan function. The following items can be set.
• E-mail server
• Return mail address
• DNS server
