Updating your Scan
Station
9-10
Configurations are a collection of settings that include: Device Settings,
Scan Settings, Destinations, Groups and Jobs. Configurations are
stored in two places: on the PC running the Kodak Scan Station 700
Series - Scanner Administration application and on the Scan Station(s)
where the configuration file is uploaded. For more information on the
difference between configurations and configuration files, see Chapter

13, Glossary.

There are five ways to update your Scan Station:
• Method 1. Uploading configurations and firmware updates using the
Kodak Scan Station 700 Series - Scanner Administration application.
The Scan Station will automatically recognize the new configuration
or update package and perform an update automatically. See the
section entitled, "Method 1" later in this chapter for more information.
• Method 2. The configuration file and optional firmware update
package is stored on a network drive and the Scan Station is
configured to poll this shared folder at a specific day and time for
updates. See the section entitled, "Method 2" later in this chapter for
more information.
• Method 3. The configuration file is stored on a USB drive inserted
into a Scan Station. You will be asked if you want to update the Scan
Station's configuration. If you select Yes, you will be prompted to
update individual items. See the section entitled, "Method 3" later in
this chapter for more information.
• Method 4. The configuration file can be exported to a USB drive for
use in configuring a Scan Station manually. When installing a
configuration file using a USB drive, if the contents of the
configuration file do not match the exact contents of the configuration
file currently stored on the Scan Station, you will be prompted to
update the Scan Station with the configuration on the USB drive. If
you select No, the Scan Station will be placed into local
administrative mode. At this point you can modify most of the Scan
Station's settings and they will be updated as soon as you remove
the USB drive. See the section entitled, "Method 4" later in this
chapter for more information.
• Method 5. The configuration file is stored on a USB drive with a
firmware update package. Only the firmware will be updated with this
method. See the section entitled, "Method 5" later in this chapter for
more information.
