eCopy ShareScan
Installation and Setup Guide

™
The ShareScan Client is installed on a Canon
ScanFront
device. It displays the user interface
on the device's control panel and handles user input. It passes all information, including the raw
scanned image file, to the Services Manager for processing.
The ShareScan Services Manager resides on a network computer running Windows 2003
Server, Windows 2008 Server, Windows XP Professional (Service Pack 3), or Microsoft Vista
(Business and Enterprise, Service Pack 1). ShareScan does not require any special server hardware.
The Services Manager handles requests from the client, returns user interface screens and preview
images to the client, and creates the master image file according to the selected options (file type,
searchable text, encryption, etc.). It also manages all connected devices; a single Services Manager
can support multiple clients.
Apache Tomcat, which provides the Web client, resides on the PC running the ShareScan
Services Manager. It handles communications between the ScanFront device and the Services
Manager. It also keeps track of the hosted ScanFront devices, manages scanner settings, and
initiates scanning on the ScanFront device.
The Connectors, which reside on the same computer as the Services Manager, provide
connectivity to back-end applications. For example, the eCopy Connector for Microsoft
Exchange enables users to scan documents and e-mail them using Microsoft Exchange. The
eCopy Connector for Fax via Lotus Notes enables users to scan documents and fax them using
Lotus Notes.
The Administration console is a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in that enables
system administrators to configure and administer Services Managers, eCopy Connectors, eCopy
Services, and devices.
