Reference: Managing eCopy- enabled devices Managing eCopy-enabled devices involves various tasks, such as specifying the default device. For information about adding devices running ShareScan Embedded software, see the “Adding a device with an embedded Client” section in the installation guide provided with the embedded products.
Reference: Managing eCopy-enabled devices Specifying a default device You can specify a default device from which new devices inherit their initial configuration of connector profiles. For example, if the default device is configured to use the Exchange and Scan to Printer connectors, new devices are automatically configured to use the same connectors. Note: Devices can only inherit connector profiles from a default device from the same manufacturer.
Specifying default scanner settings You can specify default scanner settings for eCopy-enabled devices. (For information about attaching default scanner settings to a connector profile, see page 85.) To specify default scanner settings for a device: In the console tree, select Devices > <device_name> > Properties. Select the Scanner tab.

Reference: Installation environment ™ ® eCopy ShareScan is a client/server-based application that is designed to work with a wide range of scanning devices This section describes the hardware, software, and network requirements for setting up the Services Manager and eCopy-enabled devices. Please complete the worksheets in this chapter before your scheduled installation and make sure that all devices are configured as required.
Reference: Installation environment Network environment ShareScan uses TCP ports for communication between the Client and the server application on the PC running the Services Manager. Several ports must be available (not blocked) in order to enable this communication (see page 171). Internal network traffic between the client and server is minimal.
Hardware configuration guidelines To help you gauge hardware requirements, there are three typical usage scenarios and the hardware requirements for each scenario (see Table 52). TABLE 52. Hardware configuration guidelines Scenario type Description General office A typical office environment where multiple multifunction peripherals (MFPs) support a combination of printing, copying, and scanning.
Reference: Installation environment Services Manager PC worksheet Each site requires at least one network PC to run the Services Manager; each Services Manager can support multiple eCopy-enabled devices. You should not install the Services Manager on a PC that is also running Microsoft Exchange server.
Page 177
TABLE 53. Services Manager PC worksheet (continued) Item Notes Domain name Enter a name, if applicable. Network login name Name used during normal operation (must and password be a local administrator). Have password available during installation. Local firewall It is recommended that you disable firewalls on this PC (see page 169).
Reference: Installation environment Device worksheet Copy and complete the worksheet below for each eCopy-enabled device that you plan to use with ShareScan. Notes Model eCopy-enabled device. Location Physical location of the device. Language IP address Domain-based networks: eCopy requires that you use static IP addresses. Workgroups: You must use static IP addresses.
Firewall and switch worksheet Certain TCP ports must be open for communication between the devices on the network. You can open the required ports (on switches, routers, or firewalls) between specific devices; you do not need to open a required port to all devices on the network. 9100 is the main port used for communication between the Services Manager and an eCopy- enabled device.
Page 180
Reference: Installation environment TABLE 55. Firewall and switch worksheet (continued) Item Description 9030, 9100 Must be open for communication between the Services Manager and eCopy-enabled devices. You can open the required ports between specific devices. 8899, 9988 on Optional, for encrypted UDP communication between the multicast IP Services Manager and eCopy-enabled devices.
Network infrastructure worksheet Multiple domains and multiple workgroups are supported only if the Services Manager and all eCopy-enabled devices are configured to communicate with one other via TCP or UDP, without any port filtering or blocking. Depending on the topology of the network, degradation in performance can occur when devices span multiple domains.
Reference: Installation environment DNS considerations The Services Manager must be able to resolve the names of associated devices, whether through a Domain Name Service (DNS) server on the local network or through the HOSTS file on the Services Manager PC. DNS should only be enabled on an eCopy-enabled device when there is a DNS server on the local network.
Novell support On Novell networks, ShareScan does not support direct communication between the Services Manager and eCopy-enabled devices. However, when the Novell client is installed on the PC that is running the Services Manager, some connectors (Quick Connect, Scan to eCopy Desktop, and LDAP/SMTP) can use a back-end Novell server for authentication and temporary file storage (of scan inboxes).
