  • Page 5: Introduction And Scanning Overview

    Xerox provides a network scanning solution for all scanning users. After the optional Scanning Services kit is installed on the Xerox Document Centre 220/230/332/340ST, you can select scanning features, scan documents, and transfer them to a file server. The document can then be accessed from your workstation or shared with other users connected to the network, if desired.

  • Page 6: Who Should Use This Guide

    Procedures for both of these file transfer options are contained in this guide. NOTE If you will be using Xerox’s CentreWare Network Scanning Services to set up scanning on the DC220/230/332/340ST, refer to the Getting Started with Network Scanning Services guide now.

    Ethernet and Token Ring (if PCI card installed) and requires an FTP server running on a server or a workstation. 3. OPTIONAL: If you are using Xerox CentreWare Internet Services to perform network scanning, refer to the Getting Started with Internet Services guide.

  • Page 8: Scanning Overview

    Scanning Overview Scanning a document has traditionally involved a dedicated scanner attached to a single PC. In this environment, a single user at the PC has access to the scanner. Other users cannot scan documents without interrupting the person using the scanner and PC. This is inconvenient and inefficient.
  • Page 9 NOTE Automatic retrieval of the scanned document to a workstation is possible using Xerox’s CentreWare Network Scanning Services. Refer to the Getting Started with Network Scanning Services guide for more information. A “dedicated file server” is not required. The DC220/230/332/ 340ST can store documents on an existing file server.

  • Page 10: Scan Templates

    @default.xst template for all scanning users. In this environment, additional scan templates can easily be created using only Xerox’s CentreWare Internet Services, or the CentreWare Template Utility. You MUST refer to the Getting Started with Internet Services guide to create templates with Internet Services, or the Getting Started with Network Scanning Services guide to use the CentreWare Template Utility.

  • Page 11: The Scanning Process

    The Scanning Process Under the control of the instructions in the scan template, the Xerox DC220/230/332/340ST can scan hard copy documents and create electronic Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) / Portable Document File Format (PDF) files. NOTE The DC 332/340ST supports both PDF and TIFF File Formats.
  • Page 12 scan the hard copy document at the DC220/230/332/340ST. Scan templates define the Directory and the Document Folder on the server where the scanned file will be stored. 2. The scanned files are sent to a specified location on the file server.

  • Page 13: Overview Of Repositories

    3. A user retrieves the TIFF/PDF files. The user manually retrieves the TIFF/PDF files and can then manipulate the electronic file as desired. For example, Visioneer PaperPort, which is included on the Scanning Services option can view and edit TIFF files. PaperPort has an intuitive interface that enables you to annotate, organize, file, and locate scanned documents.
  • Page 14 Filing Policy choice, keep in mind that it also requires more disk space than the Overwrite Filing policy. Output Image Quality Multi-Page TIFF can be enabled using Xerox CentreWare Internet Services. When Multi-Page TIFF is enabled, a single TIFF file will be created for a multi-page document. This single TIFF file will contain all the pages of the document.
  • Page 15 Portable Document File(PDF). The DC 332/340ST supports both PDF and TIFF File Formats. The PDF image format is a TIFF image enclosed within a PDF wrapper. The DC220/ 230ST supports only the TIFF image format. CAUTION Not all applications will accept the Multi-Page TIFF format. Applications that do not support Multi-Page TIFFs will typically import and display only the first page of the document.
  • Page 16 Logging in to Multiple File Servers The same DC220/230/332/340ST can log into more than one file server and transfer a file to a document repository, but not at the same time. This is similar to a user logging into more than one file server. The scanner requires accounts in all file servers that it needs to access.
