# Before Sending Scan Files Using WSD

This section explains the preparations and procedures for using WSD.

This machine provides the following two forms of WSD scanning:

- WSD (Push Type)

  This allows you to send scan files to a client computer through the network.

  To begin a scan job, press the [Start] key on the machine. Note that you cannot scan originals from client computers.

- WSD (Pull Type)

  This allows you to send scanning requests to this machine from a client computer through the network.

  To begin a scan job, send a scanning request from a client computer.

- Compatible Operating Systems

  - Operating systems compatible with WSD include Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008/2008 R2. Check your operating system's Help files or online support for compatibility information.

  - Some operating systems do not support WSD features.

- When personal authentication or user code authentication is set:

  - WSD (Push Type)

    The [Display WSD Destination List] setting in Web Image Monitor will be reset to [Do not Display]. To use WSD (Push Type) after configuring authentication, you must specify this setting in Web Image Monitor again. For details, see "Enabling WSD using Web Image Monitor".

  - WSD (Pull Type)

    Users restricted by personal authentication or user code authentication cannot use WSD (Pull Type).

- The example explanations in this manual are based on Windows Vista Ultimate. Procedures for other operating systems may differ slightly.
