eCopy ShareScan OP Configuration Guide |1
Introduction
About the Administration Console
The eCopy ShareScan OP Administration Console is an MMC (Microsoft Management Console)
snap-in that enables you to manage ShareScan OP Services Managers, connectors, and e-Copy-
enabled devices. An eCopy-enabled device can be
■A multifunction device connected to an eCopy ScanStation.
■A multifunction device with the eCopy ShareScan OP client installed, or embedded, on it.
When you install ShareScan OP on a ScanStation or on a network PC, the console snap-in is
installed along with the ShareScan OP Services Manager and any selected connectors. You use the
console to configure system properties and connectors, and manage devices for the local
ScanStation or for the network PC. The ScanStation Services Manager supports only the device to
which the ScanStation is connected; the ShareScan OP Services Manager on a network PC
supports multiple devices with embedded clients.
For information about remotely administering a Services Manager and about publishing
connector profiles from a remote computer, see “Remote administration” on page 28.
The administration console automatically detects the ShareScan OP Services Managers on your
network and lets you select the manager that you want to use. You can stop and start individual
managers from the console. For each manager you can
■Specify system properties, such as encryption, color compression, and keyboard settings.
Specify licensing information. Monitor activity and generate an activity report.
■Configure the connectors that are installed on the manager. Each connector has its own set of
properties that defines its visual appearance and available functions on the client.

2 |Introduction
■Configure eCopy-enabled devices that will use the selected manager. For each device, you can
select the connectors that will be available on that device and the device’s properties. You can
also configure activity tracking.
Working in the console window
For general help with MMC, see the Microsoft Management Console section in the Help Contents.
Using the tree view
The tree view in the left pane of the administration console lets you manage your managers,
connectors, and devices. Within the tree view, you can:
■Expand and collapse nodes using the [+] and [-] icons.
■Select a node to display the node's properties in the right pane.
■Right-click a node to access functions that are specific to that node.
■Select a node and then use the toolbar buttons to perform certain functions.
Using the toolbar
Various toolbar buttons are displayed depending on the current selection. As you move the pointer
over the button, information about the button’s purpose appears.
Using right-click menus
Like other MMC (Microsoft Management Console) snap-ins, the eCopy ShareScan OP
administration console relies on shortcut menus to access certain functions. For example, right-
clicking a manager in the left pane of the console displays a list of actions specific to that manager.
Getting online help
The administration console provides access to help about general console functions and also to
connector-specific help:
To access the ShareScan OP Administration Console help:
In the console tree, select a node, such as “ShareScan OP” and then click the Help button. The
Help opens in the Microsoft Management Console.
To access help for a specific connector:
In the console tree, select the connector and then click the Connector Help button.

eCopy ShareScan OP Configuration Guide |3
Selecting a ShareScan OP Services Manager
The first time you start eCopy ShareScan OP Administration after installation you are prompted
to select a Services Manager. The next time you start the program, you are automatically
connected to the selected manager.
To select a manager:
1Click Start > Programs > eCopy Applications > ShareScan OP Administration.
2In the list, select the desired ShareScan OP Services Manager.
If the desired manager is not listed, click Discover to refresh the list.
If the manager is still not listed, enter the machine name and IP address in the edit field, for
example, ECOPY1 (10.10.10.10). Also, make sure that the Services Manager is running.
3Click OK. If you installed ScanStation OP, the console title bar includes “ScanStation”.

4 |Introduction
To add a manager after the initial configuration, right-click ShareScan OP in the console tree and
then click Discover Managers (or click on the toolbar). Then follow the instructions in steps 2
and 3.
Note: To add a remote ShareScan OP Services Manager, you must be a domain administrator or have
permission to access the remote manager (see “To provide users with remote access to a
Services Manager:” on page 29).

Configuring eCopy ShareScan OP
About configuring ShareScan OP
Configuring ShareScan OP involves
■Licensing devices (see “About licensing devices” on page 5).
■Managing connectors (see “Managing connectors and services” on page 10).
■Managing devices (see “Managing devices” on page 14).
■Managing the system (see “Managing the system” on page 19).
About licensing devices
Every device that you use with eCopy software requires a valid license. Obtaining a license involves
■Entering a unique product key, valid for use with a single device, into the local license database
(see “Adding product keys” on page 6).
■Adding an embedded device (see “Adding an embedded device” on page 8).
■Activating the product key by obtaining a license code from the eCopy activation Web site (see
“Activating licenses” on page 9).
A product key must be added to the license database before the ShareScan OP Services Manager
can assign it to a device. When the key is assigned to a device, it is no longer available for use with
other devices. (However, you can assign the device to another Services Manager, in which case the
license moves with the device.)
The license information table displays the status of each product key in the database. If you are
using ShareScan OP on a ScanStation, a single product key will be listed.

6 |Configuring eCopy ShareScan OP
The following list describes the available status options:
■Activated — The key has been assigned to a device and the license has been activated.
■Not Activated — The key has been assigned to a device but the license has not been activated
(30 day grace period is in effect).
■Expired — The key has been assigned to a device but has expired (you must delete the key and
obtain a new key).
■Activation Required — The key has been assigned to a device but has not been activated and
the 30 day grace period has expired (you must activate the license to use the device).
■Blank — The key has not been assigned to a device and is available for use.
Adding product keys
You add product keys to the license database. It is strongly recommended that you leave the license
database on the local hard drive. There are two ways to add product keys to the database:
■Enter each key manually.
You must use this method when licensing a device connected to a ScanStation. It is
recommended that you copy and paste the key (to avoid typing errors).
■Import the keys from a text file. (If you buy a 10-pack of the product, you receive a separate CD
that contains a text file with the keys that you can import.) This is the easiest method to use if
you receive your product keys electronically.
Use this method when licensing devices with embedded clients.

eCopy ShareScan OP Configuration Guide |7
To enter a product key manually:

or
Click New Key, enter your product key, and then click OK.
3If you added a product key for a ScanStation, the Select Source dialog box opens. Select the
appropriate TWAIN driver and then click Select.
When the Product Key Information dialog box opens, you can activate the key via the Internet
or activate it later (see “Activating licenses” on page 9.
To import product keys
Use this method only when licensing embedded devices.
1Create a text (.txt) file containing all your product keys, or, if you received a CD with product
keys, access the text file on the CD. If you received your product keys by e-mail, you can copy
and paste them into Notepad and save the file with a .txt extension.
Make sure you enter the product keys accurately. The Load Keys function does not report
invalid keys.
2In the console tree, click System Information > Licensing.
3Click Load Keys.
4Select the text file containing the product keys and click Open. The License Information tab
displays the imported keys.

Deleting product keys
You should only delete a key if you are upgrading the license type, for example, if you are
upgrading the key from Evaluation to Full Product. If you delete a key that has been activated, you
may lose the use of that key. If you assign a device to another ShareScan OP Services Manager, the
license moves with the device; therefore, you do not need to delete the key manually.
Adding an embedded device
You can manage multiple embedded devices from the administration console. Each device is
associated with a ShareScan OP Services Manager. New devices inherit their initial settings from
the default device (see “Managing devices” on page 14).
To add an embedded device:
1Make sure the client is installed and running.
2In the console tree, click System Information > Licensing and verify that you have an available
product key of the appropriate type. (To add a product key, see “Adding product keys” on
page 6.)
3Right-click Devices and then click Add a new device.
The ShareScan OP Services Manager can detect devices using Multicast UDP or SNMP. While
UDP is generally faster, it may not work in certain network environments (see the “Network
Environment” section in the eCopy ShareScan OP Installation and Setup Guide).
4If the device you want to add is listed, select it and then click OK.
If no devices are listed, select SNMP in the Protocol list and then click Refresh.
If there are still no devices listed, click Advanced, enter the name or IP address of the device,
and then click OK.
5If the device is already configured for use with another ShareScan OP Services Manager, the
system displays a message:
Note: This section does not apply to devices connected to eCopy ScanStations. ScanStations are
automatically added to the Services Manager when a valid product key is added to the
license database and the TWAIN driver is selected.

eCopy ShareScan OP Configuration Guide |9
If desired, click Yes to transfer ownership to the current Services Manager. An Xwill appear
next to the device name in the original manager's device list. The original manager can re-
acquire the device only by right-clicking the device name and then clicking Re-acquire device;
this is because the device no longer appears in the device list.
6If prompted, choose Activate Now to activate your license immediately, or Activate Later to
activate your license at a later time (see “Activating licenses” on page 9). You have a 30 day
grace period in which to activate each license.
Activating licenses
When you assign a product key to a device, you can activate the device’s license immediately or you
can activate it later (from the License Information tab). You have 30 days in which to activate the
license. You can activate licenses over the Internet in just a few minutes.
If you do not have an Internet connection, use the Report button on the License Information tab
to generate a text file containing your product key information. Print the report file. Then, from
any computer with an Internet connection, go to https://activation.ecopy.biz and obtain a license
code for each key. You can then activate each license individually on the License Information tab.
To activate all licenses
This operation requires an Internet connection.
1On the License Information tab, click Activate.
2When prompted, click Yes to continue.
To activate a single license:
1In the console tree, click System Information > Licensing.
2On the License Information tab, double-click the product key you want to activate.
3If you have an Internet connection, click Activate via Internet. The information is sent to the
eCopy activation Web server and a license code is returned. Use the license code to activate
your license.
If you do not have an Internet connection, click Activate Manually and follow the instructions
for obtaining a license code manually.
Important! As soon as you activate your licenses, generate a license report (see “Generating a
license report” on page 10).

10 |Configuring eCopy ShareScan OP
Generating a license report
The license report will help you recover your product keys and license codes, if necessary. You
should generate a license report whenever you activate your licenses. Keep the report in a safe
place in case you need to restore the license information. A printed report is also useful if you need
to manually activate product keys from another computer.
To generate a license report:
1In the console tree, select System Information > Licensing.
2On the License Information tab, click Report.
3In the Save As dialog box, specify where you want to save the file and then click Save.
Managing connectors and services
An eCopy ShareScan OP system can use any of the base connectors provided by eCopy, Inc. as well
as add-on connectors or services that you have purchased.
Managing connectors and services involves the following tasks:
■Installing connectors and services (see “Installing connectors and services” on page 10).
■Removing connectors and services (see “Removing add-on connectors” on page 11).
■Configuring connectors (see “Configuring connectors” on page 11).
■Activating connectors (see “Activating connectors” on page 13).
Installing connectors and services
To install a base connector that you did not install during initial installation of the ShareScan OP
software, run the setup program again and then select the Modify option.
To install an add-on connector or service, you must run the setup program included with it. The
setup program installs the software and registers it on the ShareScan OP Services Manager. Once
registered, the connector appears in the console tree and the service appears in the appropriate
location in the console.
Note: To refresh the list of connectors, right-click Connectors and then click Refresh Connectors or
click the Refresh connectors button that appears on the toolbar when the Connectors node is
selected.

eCopy ShareScan OP Configuration Guide |11
Removing add-on connectors
You can remove an add-on connector from the Connectors node in the console tree only when the
Remove icon appears next to the connector name, indicating that the connector has been
uninstalled or is otherwise unavailable.
To remove an add-on connector:
1Run the connector's setup program and then select the Uninstall option.
2In the console tree, right-click the connector’s name and then click Delete.
Configuring connectors
You configure connectors by specifying various settings, such as the appearance of the connector’s
button and the desired image format. You save the settings in a connector profile. After creating and
saving a profile, you can enable it for use with a particular device. You can also publish connector
profiles to all eCopy-enabled devices on the network.
For information about configuring individual connectors, refer to the appropriate section in this
document or in the Help.
Understanding connector profiles
You can define multiple profiles for each connector. Each profile defines a set of configuration
options for that connector. Using connector profiles enables you to apply different connector
settings to different devices.
The following table illustrates how you could use two different connector profiles. You could assign
“Profile1” to a device located in the Sales department and “Profile2” to a device in the Human
Resources department.
When you install the connectors, a default profile is included for each connector. Before you can
enable a connector for use with a device, you must configure at least one profile for it.
Profile1 Profile2
Target folder \\sales\resumes \\hr\resumes
Job type Full-time, Part-time Full-time, Contract
Default e-mail [e-mail] [e-mail]
Searchable text No Yes

Managing devices
Managing devices involves the following tasks:
■Specifying the default device (see “Specifying the default device” on page 14).
■Activating connectors on devices (see “Activating connectors” on page 13).
■Specifying default device settings (see “Specifying default device settings” on page 14).
■Configuring activity tracking for device settings (see “Configuring activity tracking for devices”
on page 16).
Specifying the default device
You can specify a default device from which new devices inherit their initial settings. If you do not
specify a default device, and you add a new device, no connectors will be automatically configured
for the new device.
To specify the default device, right-click the device name and then select Set as default device.
Specifying default device settings
You can specify default settings for eCopy-enabled devices. The User modify option allows you to
specify whether or not users can override the default setting at the device (by pressing the
Settings button).
To specify default device settings:
1In the console tree, click Devices > device_name > Properties.
2Clilck the Scanner tab. The system displays the current device settings.
3For each category, specify the default settings (see “Device settings” on page 14.)
4When you finish specifying the settings, click Save.
Device settings
The available settings depend on the scanning device. The following list describes all available
settings:
■Paper Size — Select the default input paper size.
■Output Paper Options — Select the default output paper size, orientation, and scaling.
■Resolution — Select the default scan resolution (100, 150, 150, 200, 300, 400, or 600 dpi). 100
dpi is not available on black-and-white scanning devices. 300 dpi provides a good compromise
between image quality and file size for text documents. 400 dpi provides best results when
creating searchable text. 600 dpi may be necessary to maintain image quality when documents
include complex graphics.
