BEFORE USING THE NETWORK SCANNER FUNCTION

ABOUT THE NETWORK SCANNER FUNCTION

When the network scanner function is added to the machine, a document or photo can be scanned into an image file and sent over a network or the Internet to a file server, e-mail destination, or your own computer. The scanned image can be sent to the following types of destinations:

1. The scanned image can be sent to a memory storage device on a network (a designated directory on an FTP server). (This is called "Scan to FTP" in this manual.)

When sending scanned image to an FTP server, an e-mail message can also be sent to a preset e-mail address to inform the recipient of the location of the scanned image data. (This is called "Scan to FTP (Hyperlink)" in this manual.)

2. A scanned image can be sent to a computer connected to the same network as the machine. (This is called "Scan to Desktop" in this manual.)

* Before Scan to Desktop can be performed, the "Network Scanner Tool" software in the CD-ROM that accompanied the Network Scanner Expansion Kit (AR-NS2) must be installed. For information on Scan to Desktop system requirements, installing the Network Scanner Tool, and storing the destination, see the Users Guide for the Network Scanner Tool on the CD-ROM that accompanies the network scanner expansion kit.
