Basic Procedure for Sending Scan Files Using WSD

This section explains the basic procedure for sending scan files using WSD (Push Type).

Important

  • If the message “Updating the destination list has failed. Try again?” appears, press [OK]. The destination list will then be updated.

1Make sure that no previous settings remain.

If a previous setting remains, press the [Clear Modes] key.

2If the E-mail screen, Scan to Folder screen, or network delivery scanner screen is displayed, switch to the WSD scanner screen.

For details, see "Switching to the WSD Scanner Screen".

Note that only [Erase Border] can be specified directly from this machine. Use the client computer to configure the other scan settings. For details, see "Changing a Scan Profile".

5If necessary, specify the scanning density.

For details, see "Adjusting Image Density".

6If necessary, press [Original Feed Type] to configure the original orientation settings.

For details, see "Setting of Original Feed Type".

7Specify the destination.

For details, see "Specifying the Destination Client Computer".

8Press the [Start] key.

When scanning batches, place subsequent originals after the scan files have been sent.

Note

  • If you are using this machine as a WSD scanner, you can specify only one destination per scan job.

  • You cannot preview scanned images. After pressing the [Start] key, you can view the scanned images on your computer.

  • After you press the [Start] key, the client computer might time out and display the error message "Automatic Scanning could not be completed". The cause of this message is likely to be one of the following:

    • Scan processing is taking a long time.

      The machine will send the scan files again; please wait. Depending on the client computer’s settings, you might have to perform a procedure on the client computer directly.

    • The operating system might not support WSD (Push Type) features.

      If the message appears every time you scan an original, it is possible that WSD (Push Type) features cannot be used. Use WSD (Pull Type) for scanning.

  • To check the files have been sent successfully, use the machine's Scanned Files Status screen or a client computer. For details, see "Scanned Files Status".

  • To cancel a specified destination, press the destination again, or press the [Clear/Stop] key.

  • To cancel scanning, press the [Clear/Stop] key. You cannot cancel scanning from a client computer.

  • You cannot store files scanned using WSD on the machine.

  • You cannot use WSD to send files stored on the machine.

  • You cannot scan originals while other originals are being scanned.

  • Two-sided originals are scanned for sideways opening (top-to-top orientation).

  • If scanning does not begin after you press the [Start] key, the machine might not be registered to the computer or the profile might be incorrectly configured. For details, see "Registering the machine to a client computer" or "Creating a New Scan Profile".

  • After scan files are sent, their destination settings are automatically cleared. If you want to preserve this information, contact your local dealer for details.
