5.7Setting Scanner Configuration

Scanner configuration is set by adding, editing and deleting scanner configuration.

Scanner configuration is information used to identify scanners on the Central Admin Server, when registering configuration information from a scanner to the Central Admin Server.

The registered scanners can be reviewed, and modified by the Central Admin Server functions.

Initially, scanner configuration for each scanner in the scanner group is automatically added. To prevent scanner configuration from automatically being added, clear the [Automatically add new scanners to the Central Admin configuration when they are discovered] check box in the [Central Admin Server Settings] window in advance. Scanner configuration can be registered on the Central Admin Server in the following ways.

zImport from the [Scanner Config List] window

Import a defined scanner configuration file, and register scanner configuration for several scanners at once.

zAdd directly from the [Scanner Config List] window

Add scanner configuration directly from the [Scanner Config List] window for one scanner at a time.

The following table shows which config items are added/imported to the Central Admin Server from a config file or from a scanner.
