Setting up Meta Scan Function
The Meta Scan is a function to attach information (meta data) generated within the device to scanned images. The
attached meta data can be processed by workflow servers or other means to supplement the scanned image.
To use Meta Scan, select [E-MAIL], [Save as file] and [Save to USB Media] agents of Meta Scan for templates and register
them.
Meta data is managed by an XML file which defines the scheme to store the information.
This section describes the data structure using the XML file <defaultForm3.xml> registered as the default as an example.
The default XML file consists of two data areas; the “basic data area” and “extended data area”.
The “basic data area” records device information, scan parameters, and user information, while the “extended data area”
records information entered by the user on the control panel (maximum 25 items) when running Meta Scan.
The user can create fields in “extended data area” to store information entered from the control panel under [Extended
Field Definition] - [Extended Field Properties].
When using applications that interact with Meta Scan, follow the instructions of the application vendor to set the XML
format file and the extended field.
