Fa eCopy ShareScan OP Integration
Captaris’s FaxPress eCopy Connector offers an ideal scan-to-fax integration solution for
copiers, scanners and multifunction peripherals (MFPs). The Connector uses eCopy’s
ShareScan Open Platform software to transform copier and MFP devices into reliable, high-
powered fax machines.
With the FaxPress eCopy Connector, walk-up copier and MFP users can access Captaris’s
user-friendly, touch-screen fax interface right from the copier/scanner/MFP control panel.
Paper documents scanned into the copier, scanner and MFP devices are converted
immediately to electronic files and sent to the FaxPress for fax transmission.
The benefits of the eCopy ShareScan OP and FaxPress integration include:
„
Use of copier, scanner and MFP devices for faxing
„
Seamless integration of faxing with existing network and email systems
„
An intuitive, user-friendly fax interface
„
Integrated touch-screen faxing
„
Quick deployment and ease of administration
This chapter describes integration using the FaxPress eCopy Connector and eCopy
ShareScan OP v2.0 and v3.0. For information on integrating eCopy ScanStation (a
component of the eCopy Suite) with a FaxPress email gateway, refer to the FaxPress Email
Gateways Guide.
Supported Copier and MFP Devices
FaxPress integration with eCopy ShareScan OP v3.0 supports faxing from a range of
copiers and MFPs. FaxPress integration with eCopy ShareScan OP v2.0 supports faxing
from MEAP-enabled Cannon imageRunner devices only. A complete, up-to-date list of
eCopy ShareScan OP supported devices is available on the web at:

Phone Book Integration
The FaxPress Connector’s Phone Book button provides access to FaxPress Phone Books,
which are easily integrated with external ODBC databases. Supported databases include:
„
Excel, FoxPro, dBase
„
Microsoft Access
„
Microsoft SQL server
Note: The eCopy connector runs as a system service. To access SQL database,
the admin needs to create a Data Source Name (DSN) under system DSN. This
is different than creating DSN for FaxPress. FaxPress runs under the user
account so that it can work with user DSN. But to connect to the same database,
the eCopy connector requires that the DSN is configured as a system DSN.
