4 |Introduction
The ShareScan OP Services Manager and the connectors are installed on a network computer
running Microsoft® Windows® 2000 or Windows XP. (No special server hardware is required.) The
Services Manager handles requests from the client and processes the image file. It returns user
interface forms and thumbnail images to the client and creates the master image file according to
the selected options (file type, searchable text, encryption, etc.). The connectors provide
connectivity to various back-end applications, such as e-mail and fax servers. For example, the
Exchange connector enables users to scan documents and e-mail them using Microsoft Exchange.
The Administration Console is a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in that enables
system administrators to configure and administer ShareScan OP Services Managers, connectors,
services, and scanning devices.
Installation overview
Installing ShareScan OP on a ScanStation includes the following tasks:
■Installing the Universal Pointing Device Driver (UPDD), which is also called the touch screen
driver. You do not need to install this driver if you have an existing ScanStation on which the
driver was pre-loaded.
■Installing the ShareScan OP Services Manager, the Administration Console, and the client.
■Licensing and configuring the scanning device used with the ScanStation.
■Setting up your multifunctional product (MFP) device for use with the ScanStation OP Send to
eCopy feature.

eCopy ShareScan OP Installation and Setup Guide |5
Installation Environment
Overview
eCopy ShareScan OP is a client/server-based application. The ShareScan OP Services Manager on a
ScanStation supports a single digital copier or scanner.
Network environment
eCopy ShareScan OP runs on domain-based networks and in workgroup environments. In a
domain environment, static or dynamic IP addressing is supported. In a workgroup environment,
ShareScan OP Services Managers must have static IP addresses.
A ScanStation is networked to a scanning device. If the scanning device is not on the same network
segment as the ScanStation, there can be performance issues.
For information about Novell support, see "Novell support" on page 6.

6 |Installation Environment
Novell support
When Novell client software is installed on the computer that is running the ShareScan OP
Services Manager, some eCopy ShareScan OP connectors (Quick Connect, Scan to Desktop, and
LDAP/SMTP) can use a back-end Novell server for authentication and temporary file storage (of
scan inboxes).
To communicate with a Novell server, Novell client software must be installed on the Services
Manager PC. Although Windows includes the Microsoft Client for NetWare Networks, eCopy has
not tested ShareScan OP with this client software and cannot recommend it. You should install the
same NetWare client you are using on the rest of your networked PCs. eCopy strongly recommends
that you install the latest 32-bit Novell client.
Note: If you have a Novell network with multiple trees, you must set the Preferred tree field in the
Novell client configuration for the eCopy Inbox Agent and Scan to Desktop connector to
function properly.
