BEFORE USING THE NETWORK SCANNER FUNCTION
ABOUT THE NETWORK SCANNER
FUNCTION
When the network expansion kit is installed in 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:
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
expansion kit must be installed. For the system
requirements for Scan to Desktop and the
procedure for installing the Network Scanner
Tool, see
"NETWORK EXPANSION KIT
CD-ROM" (p.25).
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.8).
