7 Network Operations

Setting up a CAR network connection

One or more scanners can be networked with Kodak Image Server Software.

Image Server Software is a background process software application, which runs on a separate PC. It provides an integral component of a larger system of Kodak and integrator-supplied micrographics devices and applications that are connected together by a local area network.

Networking enables the scanner to send scanned images to Image Server Software. Images can be sent manually from the scanner to the Image Server Software or sent via a CAR application. Images can then be printed, faxed or emailed individually or in a folder via the Image Server Software.

The purpose of this chapter is to provide procedures for sending images directly to the Image Server Software (or Kodak Imagelink IMS+ Node Module). Other micrographics devices, such as the Kodak Imagelink Digital Workstation can also be networked with the Image Server Software. For detailed instructions on how to use the Imagelink Digital Workstation, the scanner with CAR and the Image Server Software, refer to the following manuals.
