Hardware configuration guidelines

To help you gauge hardware requirements, there are three typical usage scenarios and the
hardware requirements for each scenario (see Table 61).
Scenario type
General office
use
Light production
scanning
Heavy
production
scanning
For the most effective throughput, consider the following information:
While a fast IDE drive (7200 RPM) is acceptable, a fast SCSI drive (15,000 RPM) improves
■
throughput. NTFS is the required drive format.
Desktop or workstation P4 or Xeon class machines with more memory are more effective
■
than traditional server-class machines, such as Intel Pentium III class machines with high
I/O throughput.

TABLE 61. Hardware configuration guidelines

Description
A typical office environment where
multiple multifunction peripherals (MFPs)
support a combination of printing,
copying, and scanning.
An environment where multiple devices
scan simultaneously for continuous periods
with occasional creation of searchable text.
Requires CPU-intensive OCR processing by
the Services Manager.
Same as light production scanning except
that searchable text is created for all
scanned pages. Includes file batching.

Hardware requirements
Equivalent to an Intel® Pentium® 4 (P4)
2.4 GHz machine with Hyper-Threading
enabled and with 1 GB of RAM
(recommended). The minimum RAM
requirement is 512 MB.
Dual processor P4 3.2 GHz machines with
Hyper-Threading enabled and with at least
1 GB of RAM.
Dual processor Xeon machines with at
least 1 GB of RAM.
