Lexmark Intelligent Capture overview
A workflow solution contains some or all of the following elements:
•
Script—This defines the actions executed when a solution is initiated. Scripts can be static, or they may solicit user
input to make decisions about processing and routing documents. For example, a script that processes bank loans
may request additional user input such as a branch name, account number, or social security number.
•
Policy—These are the settings for the solution and the printers to which it is deployed:
–
Device settings—This is the configuration required on printers to support the jobs. This configuration typically
includes profiles but can include almost any device setting.
–
Solution settings—These are solution settings that allow you to adjust jobs or printer configurations. Some
settings are global to the solution across all printers, while others vary from one group of printers to another.
•
Embedded Solution Framework (eSF) application—This is an application installed on printer to provide
functionality needed by the solution, such as delayed sending of scanned documents.
•
Components—These are JAR files that provide services not available in the base Lexmark Intelligent Capture
installation, such as interaction with a custom ECM system.
•
Formsets—These are custom form files used for merging data with standard forms.
•
Custom reports—These are reports created by a solution developer that present custom data.
•
Solution Status Page—This is an easy‑to‑use Web page that can be included with solutions to simplify viewing
system status and performing basic operations related to a solution.
Client software
Client software is used to submit files from a Windows computer to the Lexmark Intelligent Capture system for
processing. A computer that uses client software is known as a software client. Lexmark Intelligent Capture can process
documents submitted through client software in the same way as documents scanned at a printer.
Note: For more information on the latest Lexmark Intelligent Capture port monitor support, see the Readme file.
There are two types of client software:
•
Select'N'Send—This is a Windows application, including both a command line utility and a GUI version, that lets
users send files directly to Lexmark Intelligent Capture and select Lexmark Intelligent Capture profiles to use in
processing the sent files. Selected files are submitted to the system in their current formats.
Note: Select'N'Send does not support prompting from an Lexmark Intelligent Capture server system profile.
•
Lexmark Document Server Printer Port—This is a port monitor that lets users submit documents to Lexmark
Intelligent Capture by printing from any Windows application to a print queue assigned to the port. Printed
documents are submitted to the system in the format determined by the print driver used with the print queue.
A Lexmark Intelligent Capture printer port can now be assigned to a Lexmark Intelligent Capture server system
profile that prompts for user input at the time of printing. The prompting is controlled by the profile or script running
on the Lexmark Intelligent Capture server system that the printer port is assigned to. For Lexmark Intelligent Capture
printer port prompting, the port monitor software must be installed on the computer. The Lexmark Intelligent
Capture printer port must be created and assigned to a profile that prompts to an existing print queue.
Notes:
–
Lexmark Intelligent Capture printer port prompting is not supported on print servers. Do not configure a
Lexmark Intelligent Capture port on a print server to use a profile that prompts; otherwise, the spooler will
stop responding and possibly crash when print jobs start going into the print server. You can still use
Lexmark Intelligent Capture ports on print servers, but you can assign them only to profiles that do not
prompt.
