# NETWORK SCANNER FUNCTION

## Overview

The network scanner allows you to create an image file from the original data scanned by the machine, and send the file over a network to a PC, FTP server, or other destinations. If necessary, it scans the original using a TWAIN-compliant application on your PC.
The network scanner function provides the following scanning modes.

### Scanner mode

The scanner function of the machine sends a scanned original as described below based on the specification of the destination.

###### Scan to E-mail

A scanned file is attached to e-mail and sent.

###### Scan to FTP

The scanned file is sent to a specified folder of an FTP server.
When the file is sent, it is also possible to send an e-mail to a previously stored e-mail address to inform the recipient of the location of the file.

###### Scan to Network Folder

The scanned file is sent to a network folder on a Windows PC on the same network as the machine.
It is possible to send an e-mail to inform the location where the scanned file is stored.
For the operating procedure, see "SENDING AN IMAGE IN SCAN MODE".

### Data entry mode

In data entry mode, information entered using the touch panel or automatically generated by the machine is sent to a directory on an FTP server or an application on a PC as a metadata file in XML format.

- Metadata is data which indicates information about a file, how it is to be processed, and its relation to other objects. Installing the application integration module is required to use the metadata delivery function.
- The application integration module can be combined with the network scanner function to append a metadata file to a scanned image file.
- For the operating procedure, see "TRANSMITTING METADATA".
