Using the AXIS 7100

Note:
It is strongly recommended that you choose the send-to-print
function for distributing documents to printer destinations.
However, in some circumstances it may be desirable to send an
image to a network printer using the send-to-file function
instead. To do this, you must ensure that the destination printer
supports FTP and PCL, or FTP and TIFF. Refer to the AXIS 7100
Support Web for more information.
Send-to-URL
Sending to URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is a combination of
send-to-e-mail and send-to-file, where images/documents are
stored on a file server. The recipient will receive an e-mail
containing the URL (Web link) to the file, instead of an e-mail
attachment. This off-loads the mail server from handling large
attachments.
Send-to-Web Browser
This is a convenient method for users that do not have an e-mail
address. It is also useful if you want to experiment with many
different profiles.
Simply place the document in your scanning device and access
the AXIS 7100 from a standard Web browser. Scanning is
triggered directly from your Web browser and the image is saved
within the Web browser dialog. The Web browser displays the
image in an associated viewer or asks you to save the file,
depending on the associated image format.
Send-to-Printer
This allows document images to be distributed to any printer
defined in the AXIS 7100 destination list using either Raw TCP
or LPD as the printing method.
Users can arrange to have their own directories on an FTP server to which
they can send document image information. In operating systems like
Windows 95/98 and Windows NT/2000, shortcuts to image directories
can be placed directly on the user’s desktop. This gives easy access to the
document image information.
