Network Scanner
The machine can be used as a network scanner.
As a network scanner, the machine can send e-mail, send files to the FTP server
or the shared folders of client computers, store scan files, operate as a network
delivery scanner, and operate as a network TWAIN scanner.
E-mail
A scan file that is attached to an e-mail can be sent using the e-mail system
through a LAN or the Internet.
Reference
p.15 “Sending Scan Files by E-mail”
1. This machine
A scan file can be attached to an e-mail
and sent to a mail server. In combination
with the file storage function, scan files
from multiple originals that have been
temporarily stored can be sent all at once.
2. Mail server
A mail server is an SMTP server used for
an e-mail system. It transfers a received e-
mail to a specified destination through a
LAN or the Internet.
3. Client computer
An e-mail with a scan file attached is re-
ceived from the mail server.
Check the content of the file using an ap-
propriate application.
4. LDAP server
The LDAP server provides a directory serv-
ice for search operations or inquiries from a
client computer on the same network.
You can use the LDAP server to search
for e-mail information when the server is
used as data base to manage user authen-
tication and e-mail accounts.

Network Delivery Scanner
A scan file from the originals scanned by the machine is stored in the delivery
server and delivered to the folders of client computers on the same network.
Reference
p.53 “Delivering Scan Files”
Note
❒To use the delivery scanner function, a delivery server installed with the
ScanRouter delivery software is required.
❒When the ScanRouter delivery software is used, the machine can also deliver
scan files using e-mail, store scan files in the document management server,
and the files can be viewed from a client computer using Web Image Monitor.
1. This machine
A scan file from the originals scanned by
the machine is sent to the delivery server.
In combination with the file storage func-
tion, scan files from multiple originals
that have been temporarily stored can be
delivered all at once. See p.61 “Simulta-
neous Storage and Delivery”.
2. Delivery server
The ScanRouter delivery software is in-
stalled in this computer which is used as

A received file is delivered to the in-tray
of the specified destination (Ain the fig-
ure). According to the settings of the in-
tray, the file is stored in the in-tray or in a
Windows folder (Bin the figure).
3. Client computer
The contents of a stored file can be
checked in the following ways:
•View the file in the in-tray using Desk-
TopBinder to check the contents. (C
in the figure)
•Use Auto Document Link to receive
the file stored in the in-tray, and check
the contents with an appropriate ap-
plication. (Din the figure)
•Access the Windows folder where the

To use the machine as a network
TWAIN scanner, it is essential to in-
stall the TWAIN Driver on a client
computer.
If an application that supports
TWAIN is not installed on the client
computer, it is also necessary to in-
stall DeskTopBinder. For information
about the installation of DeskTop-
Binder, see p.11 “DeskTopBinder”.
Preparation
Before installation, check the sys-
