Most of the Scan Station’s features can be successfully used in
heterogeneous network environments. On the Scan Station, printers
are accessed via Microsoft printer drivers, which are installed on the
Scan Station using Microsoft Point-and-Print technology. See the
section entitled, “Configuring printers” in Chapter 4 for more
information.
Operating system requirements The Configuration Organizer which is installed on a separate PC,
requires one of the following operating systems:
• Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 and above
• Windows XP Service Pack 2
Both require Microsoft .Net 2.0 Framework and Microsoft Installer v3.0,
which will automatically be installed if not detected.
Dependencies Each of the features of the Scan Station are dependent on the
presence of the network services shown below.
•Scan to e-mail — to scan and send documents to an email recipient,
the Scan Station must have access to a SMTP-MIME server. If your
SMTP server requires authentication before use, you also need to
supply credentials to the Scan Station. Supported SMTP
authentication types include: simple passwords, NTLM and
Challenge Response.
•Scan to shared folder — a Windows 98SE, Windows 2000,
Windows XP, Windows Server 2000 or Windows Server 2003 based
computer must publish their shared folder (the Scan Station’s
destination) on the TCP/IP network, and the Scan Station network
user must have permissions to access the folder.
•Scan to printer — a printer supported by Windows XP must be
available on the network.
•Scan to FTP folder — the Scan Station can scan documents and
send them to an FTP site using either authenticated or anonymous
FTP and can also deliver files through a network proxy. Both network
proxy and authenticated FTP require login credentials.
