About GlobalScan

GlobalScan enables a compatible copier/Multifunctional Device (hereafter referred to as MFD) to
scan documents directly to email or a folder, as well as perform Optical Character Recognition
(OCR). In addition, facsimile functions are supported via the optional RightFax Plug-in.
Designed as a powerful yet easy-to-use paper document capture and distribution system,
GlobalScan integrates seamlessly with your mail infrastructure to significantly boost workgroup
productivity. This is achieved by combining network scanning functionality within an accessible
copier platform. Most importantly, dramatic cost efficiencies are gained by speeding throughput
of common business transactions that may otherwise require slower and more costly methods of
communication.

GlobalScan Components

The GlobalScan system consists of two primary components, GlobalScan Server software and
GlobalScan MFD firmware. Once installed, the GlobalScan Server acts as an efficient digital
document routing system that accepts scanned documents from MFDs, creating digital files of
common business documents – contracts, invoices, brochures, photographs, reports, etc.
Working together, the GlobalScan Server and the MFD enable timely delivery of these files to
destinations around the corner or around the globe.
