PREPARATIONS FOR METADATA TRANSMISSION

SETTINGS REQUIRED IN THE WEB PAGES

All settings related to metadata are configured in the Web pages. (Administr ator rights are required.)
To configure metadata settings, click [Application Settings] and then [ Metadata Settings] in the Web page menu.
When configuring settings, be sure to enable metadata transmission.
Storing Metadata Sets
Store the items (the metadata set) that are written to the XML file that is generated durin g scanning. Up to 10 metadata
items can be configured in a metadata set. A stored metadata se t can be selected at the time of transmission.

METADATA TRANSMISSION FOR SCAN TO DESKTOP

When Network Scanner Tool is used in its factory default configur ation, a file will be generated with a new file name on
the computer. When Network Scanner Tool is used as a means of sending a metada ta file to a third party software
application, this setting must be disabled to allow cross referencing between the image file an d XML file by means of the
file name generated by the computer. (When setting the file name in [Send Settings], to ensure that a previously ex isting
file on a computer is not overwritten by a transmitted file of the same name, be s ure to configure the file name so that
name duplication cannot occur; for example, by including a uniq ue extension (the date, etc.) in the generated file name.
If the file name setting is left blank, the machine will automatically ge nerate a file name that is unique.)
Addresses specified in "Address Type Allowing Metadata Entry" when a metadata set is stored can be selected as
transmission destinations at the time of transmission using one-touch keys, manual entry, and/or a global address book
search. (Addresses for which metadata entry is not allowed cannot be specified as transmission destinations.)
• It is recommended that you use Network Scanner Tool to receive metadata. For more information, see the Network
Scanner Tool User's Guide (PDF format) on the "Sharpdesk/Network Scanner Utilities" CD-ROM.
• For information on the licence agreement and how to use the CD-ROM that accompanies the application integration
module, see the separate "Sharpdesk licence kit" manual.
Using third party software applications
Various types of third party software applications exist. Some applications can start automatically from Network Scanner Tool
and some cannot. When the auto-run function of an application is enabled, Network Scanner Tool will start the
application with the ".exe" command using the file name as a parameter. For example, when Network Scanner Tool is
set to start the application "APP.EXE", the “APP.EXE IMG.TIF” command is applied. If a file was specified to receive
metadata, the metadata file name cannot be specified at the same time using the command to start the application directly.
(However, the metadata file is stored in the same folder as the IMG.TIF file on the computer.)
