Send-to-E-mail
Send-to-File
Documents are typically distributed using the AXIS 7000/FX control
panel or an attached PC compatible keyboard (if connected by your
administrator), to selected e-mail, file or printer destinations.
Users can add temporary e-mail destinations using the Web interface
or keyboard if the destination you wish to send your document to does
not exist in the destination list.
Contact your Administrator if you wish to add a new file or printer
destination, or add a permanent e-mail address.
This allows document images to be distributed to any e-mail address
defined in the destination list. This service is often referred to as
Internet faxing.
E-mail transfer uses the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) whereby
the document image is sent as a MIME-encoded e-mail attachment, or
stored on a file server as an accessible hyperlink within an e-mail
notification.
Double-clicking the hyperlink or an e-mail attachment that is
associated with an image viewer automatically starts the appropriate
application.
This means that the document image is sent to and then stored on a
networked storage device. This could be on a server, a client with a
shared drive, a mainframe, or any chosen network device available to
your filing system. Image files are distributed and archived using the
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) that facilitates the storage of files over the
Internet.
Typically a file is sent to a specific software management application,
for example groupware, document management and workflow
systems.
Note:
Users can arrange to have their own directories on an FTP server to which
they can send document image information. In operating systems like
Windows 95/98 and Windows NT/2000, shortcuts to image directories
can be placed directly on the user's desktop. This gives easy access to the
document image information.
