Section 4: Using the AXIS 700
38 AXIS 700 User’s Manual
Scan-to-Web
browser
Scanning to a Web browser is convenient for users that infrequently
scan. Data is sent directly between the AXIS 700 and the user, i.e.
peer-to-peer. This results in minimum network load, and normally no
data will be sent over the backbone of the network.
You access the device from a Web browser. You can then either
allocate the scan server and complete the scanning from the AXIS 700
user interface, or you can trigger scanning directly from the Web page.
When the image has been received, you can save or open it in the Web
browser dialog. JPEG images will be displayed in the Web browser.
TIFF images require a TIFF viewer.
Scan-to-Destination
The scan-to-destination methods are controlled entirely from the
AXIS 700 user interface. Destinations for these methods must be set
up prior to use.
Note:
❏ Scan-to-destination are more demanding on the Network
Administrator, due to the need for setting up destinations.
Scan-to-E-mail
Scanning to an e-mail address allows sending scanned images as e-mail
to anyone set up in the destination list. It makes it easy to forward
image files to yourself or other persons.
The e-mail transfer uses the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP).
The scanned image is MIME-encoded and will be received as an
attached file. If an application, e.g. an image-viewer, has been
associated with the image type, double-clicking on the attachment
starts the appropriate application.
With SMTP it is simple to send scanned information over the
Internet, practically simulating faxing over the Internet.
Scan-to-File
Scanning to a file means that the scanned images are stored to network
storage devices. This could be on a server, a client with a shared drive,
a mainframe, or whatever device that is accessible via the network as a
file system. The distribution of the image files is achieved using the
File Transfer Protocol (FTP). FTP potentially enables storing of files
over the Internet.
