BEFORE USING THE NETWORK SCANNER FUNCTION
ABOUT THE NETWORK SCANNER
FUNCTION
When the network expansion kit is installed in 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
expansion kit must be installed. For the system
requirements for Scan to Desktop and the
procedure for installing the Network Scanner
Tool, see "NETWORK EXPANSION KIT
CD-ROM" (p.25).
3. The scanned image can be sent to an e-mail
recipient. (This is called "Scan to E-mail" in
this manual.)
* A limit is set in the Web page for the size of
image files that can be sent using Scan to
E-mail (p.8).

STORING SCANNING SETTINGS
Sets of scan settings (scan size, color mode, resolution, file type, etc.) can be stored for use in various scanning applications.
Each set of settings is called a "Scan Mode". When storing a destination, you can select one of the stored scanned modes.
The settings of the selected scan mode will be used when you scan an image and send it to that destination (p.12 to 15).
1Click "Network Scanning" in the menu
frame of the Web page.
2Click "Scan Mode".
3Click "Add" below the scan list.
If you need to change the
settings in a previously
stored scan mode, select
the scan mode and click
"Edit". To delete a scan
mode, select the scan
mode and click "Delete".
4Select the desired scanning settings.
To view explanations of the settings, click "Help"
in the menu frame.
When an original is scanned using the document
glass, the scanning area is determined by the
"Scan Size" setting. Read "IMAGE
ORIENTATION AND STANDARD ORIGINAL
LOADING ORIENTATION" (p.20) and make sure
that the correct scan size is selected.
The default settings are shown in the following table:
5When you have finished selecting the
settings, click "Submit".
The selected settings are stored.
Item Default setting Item Default setting
Scan Size Letter Light Source White
Color Mode Full Color File Type TIFF
Resolution 75 dpi Compression
Mode MMR(G4)
Void Area Off
Pages Per File All
• When the original size is automatically detected in the SPF/RSPF, the detected size is used instead of the scanning
size set in "Scan Size". For this reason, if the original is larger than the size set in "Scan Size", it may be scanned at a
lower resolution than the selected resolution.
• To scan a ledger, A3, or other large original at a high resolution setting such as 600 dpi, the machine memory
or network expansion kit memory must be expanded. (A high resolution setting can be selected with only
standard memory, however, the machine will scan the original at a lower resolution and enhance the image.)
To scan large originals at high resolution when the color mode is set to "mono 2 gradation", the network
expansion kit memory must be expanded. To scan large originals at high resolution when the color mode is set
to full color or grayscale, the machine memory must be expanded.
• For normal text originals, a sufficiently legible image is produced when the color mode is set to "Mono 2
gradation" and the resolution is 200 dpi or 300 dpi.
The 600 dpi setting should only be used in cases where high-clarity image reproduction is required, such as a
photograph or an illustration. Note that a high resolution setting will result in a larger file size, and transmission
may not be successful if there is insufficient disk capacity in the server to which the image is sent (or if the
administrator of the server has restricted the file size). If transmission is not successful, you can try such
measures as reducing the number of scanned pages in the file or reducing the scan size setting for the original.
•
The resolution settings that can be selected vary depending on the scan size, color mode, and light source settings.
• To open the scanned image without using the software program in the CD-ROM that accompanies the network
expansion kit, the recipient must have a viewer program that can open the image format (file type) that was
selected as explained above.
• The factory default setting for the image format produces the smallest file (File Type: TIFF, Compression
Mode: MMR (G4)). If the recipient cannot open the image, try sending the image in a different format.
•
Number of pages per file
If the number of scanned originals is not divisible by the number set in "Pages Per File", the last file will have less pages.
• If you wish to use a scan mode as the default scan mode when storing destinations, select the "Default Scan
Mode" checkbox.
•
The scan settings stored in a scan mode cannot be edited or deleted if the scan mode has been selected for a destination.

Normally your computer is stored as the destination by the method indicated above.
The following page for storing Scan to Desktop destination information appears when "Destination" is selected in the
menu frame, followed by "Desktop". This page is used mainly by the system administrator in the following
circumstance.
•When another machine with the network scanner function has been added to the same network, and you wish to
perform Scan to Desktop from the added machine to a destination programmed in the previously existing machine.
Refer to "Editing and deleting programmed transmission destinations" (p.16), and select the Scan to Desktop
destination information that you wish to transfer to the new machine. Enter the displayed information in the same
setting screen of the new machine. (When all information has been entered, click "Submit".)
If there are additional destinations that you want to transfer to the new machine, repeat this procedure for each
destination.
Note that if there are any discrepancies between the newly programmed information and the information in the host
computer, transmission and reception may not be possible.
•For explanations of each of the items, click "Help" in the menu frame.
•The default scan mode (the scan mode for which the "Default Scan Mode" checkbox was selected when the
settings were stored) is automatically used as the scan mode for the Scan to Desktop destination stored by the

IMAGE ORIENTATION AND STANDARD ORIGINAL
LOADING ORIENTATION
When using the document glass, the original should be placed face down so that it is centered vertically on the glass
with the top edge of the original at the left edge of the glass.
When using the SPF/RSPF, the original should be placed face up in the middle of the document feeder tray, with the
top of the original to the right.
Long horizontal originals of size 11" x 17", 8-1/2" x 14", A3, or B4 can only be placed as shown below.
For this reason, the scanned image will be rotated 90°when viewed on a computer.
When an original is scanned using the document glass, the scanning area is determined by the "Scan Size" setting
of the scan mode stored in the destination information. If the orientation of the placed original does not agree with
the scan size setting, not all of the original will be scanned. The following examples show how the scan size setting
affects the resulting image when a letter original is scanned on the document glass.
To change the "Scan Size" setting, see "STORING SCANNING SETTINGS" (p.11).
