Using Network Scanning
Ever want to…
• Fax a newspaper article to someone
without making a copy first?
• Send a paper document to both Fax and
e-mail addresses at the same time?
• Convert a hard copy original into an
editable electronic format without retyping
the document?
• Share handwritten meeting notes quickly?
With network scanning you can do all these
and more.

Scanning Overview
Authentication Access Control is a
scanning feature. The Administrator can
configure the system to limit access until
a login sequence is completed.
The system creates a
TIFF or PDF
file from
a hard copy original. The file is sent to
locations specified in the selected
Distribution Template. Once your file is
digital, with the correct software you can
do almost anything.
Transfer it, E-mail it, OCR it, Edit it.
What you need is a system with network
scanning enabled, and basic knowledge of
a template. Start with your Administrator to
get connected.

Distribution Template Basics
Templates
are files stored at the machine
that tell it how
to create your scan file
and
where to send it
after it is created. Your
organization may provide you with a stan-
dard template or you can create your own.
For detailed information, see the
CentreWare Network Scanning Services
Guide
or your Administrator.
