Sy	Scanning to destinations, i.e. e-mail and file destinations, is performed
	directly via the AXIS 700 control panel. This is typically how the
	AXIS 700 will be used. However, the Administrator must first set up
	the destinations from the Web browser interface.
T4u	Scanning to e-mail allows sending scanned images as e-mails to
	anyone defined in the destination list. It makes it easy to forward
	image files to yourself and others. This method is what is now de facto
	called Internet faxing.
	The e-mail transfer uses the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP).
	The image is MIME-encoded and will be sent as an e-mail
	attachment.
	If an application, e.g. an image viewer, has been associated with the
	image type, double-clicking on the e-mail attachment starts the
	appropriate application.

UScanning to file means that the scanned images are stored on a network storage device. This could be on a server, a client with a shared drive, a mainframe, or whatever device is accessible via the network as a file system. The distribution of the image files is achieved using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP). FTP potentially enables storing of files over the Internet.

You will typically scan to a file when specific software, e.g. groupware, document management and workflow systems, takes care of the scanned information.

All users can have a directory of their own on the FTP server to which they can send scanned information. In operating systems like Windows 95/98 and Windows NT, shortcuts to the directories where images are stored can be placed on the user’s desktop. This gives easy access to the scanned information.

You can also print scanned images directly from a network printer by sending the scanned image to a network print server. To do this, the print server must support FTP and include a TIFF module. Refer to the AXIS 700 Support Web for more information.
