Network Environment - Canon ScanFront 400 Instructions Manual

4.

Network Environment

The network environment required to use the ScanFront is described below. To obtain details on your network environment, contact
your network administrator.
❏ Network Environment
● Network Protocol
The scanner uses TCP/IP protocol to connect to the
network.
● IP Address Assignment
The TCP/IP protocol uses one IP address for each
device connected to the network. Consult your network
administrator to determine the IP address to assign to
the scanner.
● DHCP Support
The scanner supports DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol). A DHCP server provides a
network environment in which IP addresses can be
obtained automatically from the DHCP server, so there
is no need to set an IP address for the scanner.
* The number of IP addresses that can be obtained using
DHCP is managed by the network administrator. For
details, consult your network administrator.
● 1000Base-T Support
The scanner supports 1000Base-T. However,
communication may be slower than the communication
speed of the network, depending on the other devices
connected to the network and the type of hub.
● SMTP (E-mail) Server
The scanner supports an SMTP server, so you can send
image files directly from the scanner by e-mail.
● FTP Server
Transmission may not be possible depending on
firewall settings.
● Fax
Scanned images can be sent to specified addresses as
fax documents by sending e-mails that include the
scanned images as attachments to an Internet fax
service. Therefore, you must specify message formats
and addresses in the method prescribed by your Internet
fax service.
● Printer
By using the FTP print function of a printer connected
to the same network with the ScanFront, you can print
scanned images.
