Workflow Scanning for HTTP and HTTPS
Before you begin:
• Enable HTTP or Secure HTTP (SSL). Ensure that a certificate is installed on the printer if you are
using SSL.
• Configure your Web server, and ensure that HTTP/HTTPS services are running. POST requests and
scanned data are sent to the server and processed by a CGI script. Note the IP address or host name
of the Web server.
• Create a user account and password for the printer on the Web server. Note the user name and
password.
− Create a /home directory for the printer.
− Create a /bin directory in the home directory.
− Copy an executable CGI script into the /bin directory. You can create your own script, or
download a sample script. For details, see
The script can be defined with script_name.extension or by path/script_name.extension.
• Create a folder with read and write permissions on the Web server, or alternate server. Note the
directory path, user name, and password. This folder is your file repository.
• Test the connection by logging in to the home directory of the printer on the Web server. Send a
POST request and file to the Web server. Check to see if the file is in the repository.
To configure file repository settings for HTTP or HTTPS:
