CGI Scripts
A CGI (Common Gateway Interface) script is a program on a Web server that is executed when the server
receives a request from a browser. A CGI script is required to allow files to be transferred to your HTTP
server from your printer.
When a document is scanned, the printer logs in to the Web server, sends a POST request along with the
scanned file, then logs out. The CGI script handles the remaining details of file transfer.

1.
In CentreWare Internet Services, click Properties > Services .
