Chapter 4 ScanFront Service
1. About ScanFront Service
ScanFront Service is software that supplements the network functions of the ScanFront. To use this software, install it on a computer connected to the same network as the ScanFront. (The computer on which ScanFront Service is installed will be herein referred to as the “ScanFront Service Server”.)
By configuring a ScanFront Service Server, you can send scanned images to locations on the network, such as the following, where direct transfer from the ScanFront is disabled.
●Destinations (folders on computers, printers, etc.) located on different segments of a network on which a WINS server is not configured
●Printers on the network
●Shared folders on a computer that is specified by IP address
●Certain NAS
Scanned images from the ScanFront are sent via the ScanFront Service Server to the user specified destination. Up to 100 ScanFront scanners can be connected to a single ScanFront Service Server. However, only up to 15 ScanFront scanners can communicate with the ScanFront Service Server at any one time.
