Dynamic IP Address Assignment &

WINS

Before you start

NOTE:

Your Document Centre now has DHCP, LPR, and NetBIOS over the IP protocol enabled by default. If your DHCP server will provide host name, IP address, Gateway address, and Subnet Mask, the Document Centre TCP/IP information will be configured on initial boot.

Your Document Centre printer can be connected to a variety of networks that use the TCP/IP protocol. The Document Centre supports two methods of Dynamic Addressing:

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) or BOOTP

RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol)

This section contains procedures for each of these methods.

Determine which method will be used for your network and follow the steps of the appropriate procedure.


Dynamic Addressing (DHCP or BOOTP)

NOTE

The TCP/IP address is assigned automatically by a DHCP server.

Follow the steps below:

By default, DHCP is enabled on the Document Centre. This procedure will show you how to disable DHCP (or enable it if it was disabled) and set your TCP/IP information using BOOTP.

Go to the DHCP or BOOTP server and...

Where to go from here

After you have verified that the TCP/IP information you have assigned to your Document Centre is correct, go to the section of this document that applies to your network operating system or protocol and perform the procedures indicated.

If you are configuring your Document Centre to register with a

WINS server, proceed to the next section of this chapter entitled

Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) Installation. If you prefer there is also a Quick Install Card for this process supplied with your Document Centre. Look for a card entitled WINS

(Windows Internet Name Service) Quick Install Card.


Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) Installation

NOTE:

Before You Start

If your printer is equipped with a Token Ring interface, use the

100BaseT Ethernet or Token Ring Quick Install Card supplied in this Quick Install Card set to configure the Ring Speed and

Source Routing settings for your environment.

Your Document Centre now has DHCP, LPR, and NetBIOS over the IP protocol enabled by default. If your DHCP server will provide the IP address, Gateway address, Subnet Mask for the

Document Centre, and WINS server address(es), the TCP/IP information will be configured on initial boot. This means that if you have configured your DHCP server with the desired information, you may connect your Document Centre to your network and it will boot and register with the WINS server automatically.

Your DHCP server must return at least one (1) WINS server address to the Document Centre in order to enables WINS registration.

In this mode the default NetBIOS host name, SMB host name and the DNS host name for the device will be the letters XRX followed by the MAC address of the network interface.

Example:

XRX08003E313E0A

If this NetBIOS host name is acceptable you can go right to the section in the next section entitled Go to the Workstation and.... and complete those steps.

To change the NetBIOS host name for your printer follow Steps

1,2, and 3 then skip to Step 5 and finish the Go to the Printer... portion. When you finish that section, go to the section entitled Go

to the Workstation and.... and complete those steps.

Internet Services

Overview

NOTE:

Your Document Centre now has DHCP, LPR, and NetBIOS over the IP protocol enabled by default. This means that if you have configured your Document Centre with the desired TCP/IP information using Dynamic Addressing (DHCP, RARP, or

BOOTP), you may go directly to the procedure in this chapter entitled Configure your Web Browser. Otherwise, you may start at the section entitled Configure your printer.

Your Document Centre printer includes an integrated Web Server.

This means you can now print to, and check up on your printer status using your favorite Web Browser software.

With the scan or fax options installed, you may also use Internet

Services to create, modify and delete scan or fax templates. Details for this are found in the document supplied with your Document

Centre entitled CentreWare Internet Services Guide.

This chapter will show you how to enable this feature.



It is mandatory that you install a Java enabled browser on the workstation(s) which will use the Internet Services Tool. For best performance and compatibility use Netscape Navigator 4.0 or

Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later.

Your printer and workstation(s) must be connected to a network which has the TCP/IP protocol enabled.

This procedure assumes you have a general knowledge of your network type and the operation of your Web Browser software, and that your Document Centre printer has been assigned all TCP/IP information.

Enter your printer’s TCP/IP address from your

Configuration Report into the Address or Location field on your browser (this name is browser dependent) and press

RETURN.

Your browser should connect to the imbedded web server on your printer and display the printer’s “Home Page”. If your network is connected to the Internet through a proxy server, it may be necessary to exclude your printers TCP/IP address in your browser to speed access and also eliminate proxy server traffic.

Once you have established communication with your printer, be sure to save the URL in your Favorites, or Bookmarks (this name is also browser dependent), so you can quickly reconnect when necessary.

To make it easier for browser software on other workstations to find the printer, be sure to update your DNS or NIS

(depending on your network) to include the printer.

For instructions on how to use Internet Services, consult the document entitled Internet Services Guide supplied with your printer.


Troubleshooting

Overview

This section of the Network Installation and Troubleshooting

Guide contains individual procedures for troubleshooting problems on each major network operating system or protocol.

These procedures will help you solve the common mistakes that are made during installation and repair problems that can occur later.

Because the Document Centre supports a wide variety of networks, each of the procedures is self contained. If your Document Centre is configured to print using multiple protocols it is recommended you follow one troubleshooting procedure at a time. This should save confusion and time.

Consult the procedure (or procedures) in this section that apply to your environment.


TCP/IP Troubleshooting

NOTE:

Basic TCP/IP Communication Problems

This procedure assumes that the printer is turned on and connected to a functioning network port with the correct cabling.

Your Document Centre now has DHCP, LPR, and NetBIOS over the IP protocol enabled by default. If your DHCP server will provide host name, IP address, Gateway address, and Subnet Mask, the Document Centre TCP/IP information will be configured on initial boot. This means that if you have configured your DHCP server with the desired information, you should verify that the information is correct before you follow any of the procedures in this TCP/IP Troubleshooting section.

Press the Access ( ) button above the keypad.

A password entry field will appear. On the keypad enter 1111 or the current password then touch the Enter button on the

Touch Screen. The Touch Screen will be used for the remainder of the data entry.

Press the Go to Tools button.

Press the Systems Settings button, then at the next screen, press the Configuration Report button and wait for the next screen.

Press the Print Configuration Report Now button.

Allow a minute for the Report to print.


NOTE:

8.

Verify the following TCP/IP Settings: on the Configuration

Report page:

Host Name (REMEMBER if you are connected to a UNIX network, it is CASE SENSITIVE!)

IP address

Subnet Mask

Default Gateway

Broadcast Address (if used)

The Broadcast Address is calculated automatically.

9.

To verify the Broadcast Address is correct the following calculation may be used:

Perform a logical OR of the complement of the subnet mask and the IP address.

Example of logical OR method:

IP Address = 13.175.109.146

Subnet Mask = 255.255.252.0

IP Address

00001101.10101111.01101101.10010010

Complement of Subnet Mask

00000000.00000000.00000011.11111111

The result of the logical OR

00001101.10101111.01101111.11111111

Broadcast Address = 13 . 175 . 111 . 255


NOTE:

10.

Any one of these important TCP/IP parameters (if set incorrectly) can cause TCP/IP communication problems.

Subnet Mask and Default Gateway are critical on multinetwork segment LANs or WAN’s. If you make any TCP/IP configuration changes, then the printer will reset for those changes to take effect.

11.

Go to a workstation on the same subnet as the printer. And at a command line prompt TYPE ping xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx

(xxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx is the IP address of the printer). Try to

“ping” the printer using its hostname. If ping is successful with the printer’s TCP/IP address but not with its hostname, then you may have a local workstation or NIS configuration problem. Check the Default Gateway settings of the printer.

12.

Add the printer host name to your local hosts file or NIS database (whichever applies) and try the ping tests again.

13.

Try to ping other TCP/IP nodes on your network. This will verify the operation of your workstation’s network card. Try to “ping” the printer from another workstation. If all of the above fails, you have a configuration problem at your local workstation, or a network problem.

14.

If Dynamic IP Addressing is enabled try “hard coding” the printer IP address at the User Interface. Reset the printer, and check for connectivity again with the “ping” command.

When using lpr to print jobs it is possible to set the lpr port to a port other than the default of 515. If this occurs, it will halt all lpr printing but printing using other protocols would still work.

15.

If all of the above troubleshooting fails, you may have a malfunctioning Network Interface.

OfficeTrac Network Accounting

Overview

Equitrac Corporations OfficeTrac software provides the ability to control access to, and monitor up to twenty (20) networked

Document Centres for the following functions:

Copying

Printing

Faxing

Scanning

With OfficeTrac you may set up user accounts, keep data on usage patterns, and track office expenses effectively using a single tool.

Feature-rich standard reports and available custom reports, are combined with powerful data export to make OfficeTrac a complete asset management solution.


The Equitrac OfficeTrac application communicates with the

Document Centre Web Server (Internet Services) to configure, and retrieve information from your Document Centre.

This procedure assumes that your OfficeTrac server has already been installed, your Document Centre has had the required upgrade installed, and is properly connected to your network. It also assumes that the administrator has performed a site setup in OfficeTrac for the Document Centre. Details for performing a Site Setup are contained in your OfficeTrac documentation.


NOTE:



Your printer and your OfficeTrac server must be connected to a network which has the TCP/IP protocol enabled and all TCP/IP information such as hostname, Default Gateway and Broadcast address have been set.

Your Document Centre and OfficeTrac server should be assigned

TCP/IP addresses and the HTTP protocol must have been enabled at your Document Centre. If necessary, refer to the Internet Services

Quick Install Card to configure your Document Centre in this manner.

If Dynamic TCP/IP addressing must be used, be sure to set lease times long enough to allow for normal maintenenace shutdowns. If your Document Centre appears to have stopped communicating with the OfficeTrac server when Dynamic Addressing is in use, check the TCP/IP settings to be sure they have not changed.

As a quick test to verify all the requirements have been met, start the

Web Browser from your OfficeTrac server and enter the IP address of the Document Centre to see if you can communicate with it using the HTTP protocol. If the Browser connects and you can see the

OfficeTrac Troubleshooting

NOTE:

To be sure the Document Centre has had the Network Accounting option installed and enabled, start a Web Browser from your

OfficeTrac server and enter the IP address of the Document Centre.

If you are not able to reach the printer, verify all TCP/IP information by printing a configuration sheet.

At the Document Centre ”Home Page” select the Services button.

Verify that on the Job Submission screen, there are entries for

Login ID and Account ID. This will indicate that accounting has been enabled.

The OfficeTrac server software contains some troubleshooting tools that are useful to diagnose problems that may be present at the

OfficeTrac server. These tools can be used to correct configuration or communication problems that will prevent your document Centre from reporting accounting data.

Faxing with RightFAX

Overview

The RightFax Fax Server provides the ability to fax paper documents from your Document Centre as well as modify, forward, and distribute electronic copies of documents to other Fax devices or to user workstations. Feature-rich client utilities combined with powerful enterprise management applications make RightFax and the Xerox Document Centre a complete paper to digital document solution for fax communication.

This procedure assumes the following:

• Your RightFax server has already been installed.

• Your Document Centre is installed on your network as a printer, and your Document Centre has the fax option installed that will allow it to send fax documents to a fax repository

(destination directory).

• You want to send faxes by FTP (File Transfer Protocol) using the TCP/IP protocol or by NCP(IPX) to the repository.

If you want your Document Centre to send fax documents to a

Novell NetWare server Fax Repository, refer to the next section of this document entitled RightFax Installation for IPX/SPX.


RightFAX Installation for FTP

NOTE:



Your Document Centre and your RightFax server must be connected to a network which has the TCP/IP protocol enabled.

Additionally, record TCP/IP information such as Hostname,

TCP/IP Address, and Default Gateway for both the RightFax server and your Document Centre.

It is strongly recommended your RightFax server is assigned a static IP address. If necessary, refer to the Static (Manual)

TCP/IP Addressing Quick Install Card contained in this card set to configure your Document Centre in this manner.

Dynamic IP Addressing may be used for the RightFax server provided the DHCP server has been configured with sufficient lease time so that the RightFax server normal maintenence and service down times will not result in a change in TCP/IP address.

An account must be created on the server to which the Document

Centre will FTP the fax documents that has sufficient rights or permissions to allow the Document Centre to read files, write files, delete files, and create new directories. Anonymous FTP logins will not allow these rights. Record the login name, home directory, and password of this account for use during this procedure.

Scan Setup without CentreWare

Introduction

Xerox brings the versatility of network scanning to your workstation. By combining the power of the Xerox Document

Centre, CentreWare Internet Services, and third-party applications,

Xerox provides a network scanning solution for all scanning users.

After the optional Scanning Services kit is installed on the Xerox

Document Centre , you can select scanning features, scan documents, and transfer them to a file server. The document can then be accessed from your workstation or shared with other users connected to the network, if desired. The document can be opened by any software application that can view or edit TIFF files. For example, Visioneer PaperPort, which is included on a CD ROM with your Document Centre when you purchase the Scanning

Services option can view and edit TIFF files.

The scanned images can also be imported into TextBridge Pro for

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) processing.


Terminology used in this Chapter

Document Repository

Scan Template

Template Pool

Filing Policy

Output Image Format

A Document Repository is a filing directory where TIFF files are stored. Typically, this will be located on a NetWare server or FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server.

A Scan Template controls the features applied to the scanned document as well as the Filing Policy and repository location.

The Template Pool is the central location on a server where scan templates created with Xerox’s CentreWare Scanning

Services are stored.

The Filing Policy specifies the method used to store the TIFF images in the document repository. There are several options:

• Overwrite

• Append

• New Exact

• New Auto Generate

• TIFF

• Multi-Page TIFF


Who Should Use This Guide

NOTE

This chapter is a companion to the Network Scanning Services

Guide and is intended to be used by System Administrators who are setting up network scanning without using CentreWare Network

Scanning Services. CentreWare Network Scanning Services is intended for use on Windows based workstations.

There are two other options for setting up scanning services:

• Setting up Native Scanning

• Setting up Scanning Using CentreWare Internet Services

Both of these set up options require the use of procedures in this guide. For Setting up Scanning Using CentreWare Internet

Services, you will need to complete some processes here, and then refer to the Internet Services Guide to complete the set up. All of the procedures for setting up Native Scanning are included here.

Whether you are setting up Native Scanning or Scanning Using

CentreWare Internet Services, there are two options for file transfer.

They are:

• Setting Up Scanning - NetWare (NCP)

• Setting Up Scanning - FTP (File Transfer Protocol)

Procedures for both of these file transfer options are contained in this guide.

If you will be using Xerox’s CentreWare Network Scanning

Services to set up scanning on the Document Centre, refer to the

Network Scanning Services Guide guide now.

To use the procedures in this guide effectively, you must have experience working in a network environment. You must also have access to the network and possess Supervisor (Administrator) rights.

You may also require documentation provided by network and client workstation vendors.


What to Do Next

To complete the setup of the Document Centre and your network to enable scanning, perform the following steps.

1. Review the information in the Scanning Overview section of this chapter. Read the entire overview, including the Overview

of Repositories.

2. Refer to the appropriate section of this guide. Choose from:

• Set Up Scanning - NetWare. NCP (NetWare Core Protocol) is available for Ethernet and Token Ring filing to a Net-

Ware server.

• Set Up Scanning - FTP (File Transfer Protocol). FTP is available for Ethernet and Token Ring (if installed) and requires an FTP server running on a server or a workstation.

3. OPTIONAL: If you are using Xerox CentreWare Internet

Services to perform network scanning, refer to the Internet

Services Guide.


Scanning Overview

Scanning a document has traditionally involved a dedicated scanner attached to a single PC. In this environment, a single user at the PC has access to the scanner. Other users cannot scan documents without interrupting the person using the scanner and PC. This is inconvenient and inefficient.

Traditional Scanning


NOTE

Scanning with the Document Centre

Using the Document Centre, multiple users can scan and store documents without multiple scanning devices. Using the power of the local area network, multiple users can access the scanner and use it to scan their documents.

Scanning with the Document Centre is accomplished through the use of a file server. The file server is used as a temporary storage location for the scanned document file. After scanning and storage on the file server, the file can be manually retrieved by a user at a network workstation.

Automatic retrieval of the scanned document to a workstation is possible using Xerox’s CentreWare Network Scanning Services.

Refer to the Network Scanning Services Guide for more information.

A “dedicated file server” is not required. The Document Centre can store documents on an existing file server.


NOTE

To perform network scanning, the Document Centre is installed on a local area network. The protocol of the local area network must be

NetWare SPX/IPX or TCP/IP. For the user to retrieve the scanned document file, it must be transferred to a file server. The scanning and filing of the document are controlled by a scanning component called a scan template.

Scan Templates

The scan template is essentially a job ticket for the scanned job. The template is user-programmable, and contains parameters for the scanned document. The user can program parameters such as onesided or two-sided scanning, scanned image size, and the location on the file server where the file will be stored.

The Default Template

A default scan template (default.xst) is created during the installation of the scanning option and is stored on the Document

Centre. It is available for all scanning installations.

It is selected at the Document Centre Control Panel Touch Screen to begin the scanning process.

The Native scanning installations described in this guide provide only the default.xst template for all scanning users.

In this environment, additional scan templates can easily be created using only Xerox’s CentreWare Internet Services, or the

CentreWare Template Utility. You MUST refer to the Internet

Services Guide to create templates with Internet Services, or the

Network Scanning Services Guide to use the CentreWare

Template Utility.


The Scanning Process

Under the control of the instructions in the scan template, the Xerox

Document Centre can scan hard copy documents and create electronic Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) files.

Using the filing information that is contained in the template, the

TIFF file or files are transferred to a document repository on the file server. The document repository is simply a directory on the file server.

All pages of a multi-page document are scanned prior to the job being sent to the document repository.

Document Centre

Scan

File Server

Repositories

Client Workstation

Visioneer

PaperPort

TIFF

File

Scanning Process

After the scanned document files are sent to the file server, the user can retrieve the files from a network workstation.

The three main steps involved in scanning a job are:

1. Scan a hard copy document at the Document Centre.

Select a scan template from the Control Panel Touch Screen and scan the hard copy document at the Document Centre. Scan templates define the Directory and the Document Folder on the server where the scanned file will be stored.

2. The scanned files are sent to a specified location on the file

server.


NOTE

NOTE

After pages have been scanned and converted to TIFF 6.0 files, the Document Centre logs into an account on the file server and stores the TIFF files in a specific directory (the document repository) on the file server. As with any user account, access to the file server is controlled by a user name and password.

To name and store the TIFF files, a numbering scheme (such as

00000001.TIF, 00000002.TIF, 00000003.TIF) is applied to each file. The Document Centre then logs out of the server.

During the transfer of the TIFF file in a NetWare environment, the

Document Centre will be already logged in under one license as a printer, and will log in again to transfer the file. After transfer occurs, the Document Centre logs out, making the second user license available again. While available to other users, the second connection is maintained at the NetWare file server as “Not logged in”. This happens during every scan job. If a license is not available, the file transfer will fail and the Document Centre will not retry the operation. If this occurs, the scan job will have to be run again when a license becomes available.

The method used at a workstation to access the document repository and the method used at the Document Centre to send the documents are independent. For instance, the Document Centre may file the TIFF images using FTP (File Transfer Protocol) to an

NT Server; while the workstation may retrieve the images using

NetBIOS/NetBEUI.


3. A user retrieves the TIFF files.

The user manually retrieves the TIFF files and can then manipulate the electronic file as desired. For example, Visioneer

PaperPort, which is included on the Scanning Services option can view and edit TIFF files.

PaperPort has an intuitive interface that enables you to annotate, organise, file, and locate scanned documents. Using PaperPort links, you can transfer documents from the PaperPort desktop to other applications and devices installed on your workstation.


Overview of Repositories

NOTE:

Repositories may only be created with CentreWare Internet

Services through your Web Browser. For details on how to use

Interent Services to create Templates and Repositories, refer to the document supplied with your Document Centre entitled Internet

Services Guide.

As explained below, there are two different types of repositories available on the file server, Public Repositories and Private

Repositories.

Public Repositories

Public repositories can be selected by all users as the destination for their scanned files.

The scan template for a public repository includes the name and the password required for access to the repository.

When this scan template is selected at the Document Centre, the name and password will not have to be entered because the name and password are already contained in the scan template. Be sure to read the Repository Filing Policy information on the next page. The

Overwrite Filing Policy allows previously scanned jobs in the directory to be overwritten. This might be an inappropriate Filing

Policy choice for a public repository.


NOTE

Private Repositories

Private repositories require a name and password that is different from the name and password that the Document Centre uses to access the public repositories. The appropriate name and password must be entered at the Document Centre when the scan template is selected, or the scanning operation will fail. This prevents unauthorised use of private repositories as the destination for scanned files.

The appropriate name may also be preset in the scan template when it is originally created. When a scan template is selected that already has the appropriate name, only the correct password must be entered at the Document Centre.


NOTE:

Repository Filing Policy

Filing Policies are only supported when scan templates are created with CentreWare Internet Services through your Web Browser. For details on how to use Interent Services to create Templates and filig policies, refer to the document supplied with your Document

Centre entitled Internet Services Guide.

The Filing Policy specifies the method used to store the TIFF images in the document repository. There are several options:

• The Overwrite Filing Policy deletes any TIFF files stored in the document repository before sending the newly scanned files for storage. All overwritten files are lost, but since the files are overwritten, disk space is conserved.

• The Append Filing Policy does not delete existing files.

Newly scanned files are added to existing files in the document repository. It is recommended that you delete old files on a regular basis in order to conserve server space.

• The New Exact Filing Policy checks to see if any files already exist in the document repository. If there are no files in the repository, the newly scanned files are sent to it. If there are files stored in the repository, the scan job is aborted.

• The New Auto Generate Filing Policy creates a new directory structure, based on the time and date of creation, into which the

TIFF images are filed. While this may seem like the safest Filing Policy choice, keep in mind that it also requires more disk space than the Overwrite Filing policy.


CAUTION

Output Image Quality

• Multi-Page TIFF can be enabled using Xerox CentreWare

Internet Services. When Multi-Page TIFF is enabled, a single

TIFF file will be created for a multi-page document. This single TIFF file will contain all the pages of the document.

An .XSM folder is not created when scanning in the Multi-

Page TIFF mode. A single TIFF file and a log file (.xst) are stored in the repository for each multi-page document that is scanned.

Not all applications will accept the Multi-Page TIFF format.

Applications that do not support Multi-Page TIFFs will typically import and display only the first page of the document.

Repository Locking

More than one Document Centre can log into a file server and transfer a file to the same document repository, but not at the same

time.

When one Document Centre logs in to transfer a file, the document repository is locked. Another Document Centre cannot transfer a file to the repository. This prevents possible corruption of the files.


Multiple Logins

More than one Document Centre can transfer files to different

repositories in the same file server at the same time. This is similar to more than one user logging into a file server at the same time to transfer files to different directories.

Existing Accounts

A Document Centre can use an existing user account if the account is enabled for multiple logins. The account for the scanner is no different from a user account. It is a user account!

Logging in to Multiple File Servers

The same Document Centre can log into more than one file server and transfer a file to a document repository, but not at the same time.

This is similar to a user logging into more than one file server. The scanner requires accounts in all file servers that it needs to access.



Set Up Scanning - NetWare


NOTE

NOTE

Prior to starting the installation procedure, perform the following steps:

1. Ensure that the Document Centre is connected, configured, and operating correctly as a printer.

2. Use the SYSCON utility for NetWare 3.x, or NWADMIN for

NetWare 4.x to create a user account on the file server for the scanner.

3. Create a directory on the file server to be used as a repository for scanned files. Give the scanner user account all access rights to this directory, except supervisor. The repository name cannot exceed 8 characters.

Refer to the NetWare documentation for additional information, if needed.

When a document is scanned, the Document Centre logs into the scanner user account with the user name and password, transfers the file to the repository in the server, and then logs out.

The Document Centre supports TIFF File Formats.


Set Up Options

There are two procedures that can be used to successfully set up scanning. Read the information below and choose the procedure that you will use to complete the installation:

• Set Up Scanning

To complete the native implementation of scanning for your

NetWare environment, go to the section of this chapter titled Set

Up Scanning now.

• Use Xerox CentreWare Internet Services

Xerox’s CentreWare Internet Services is accessed through the embedded HTTP server on the Document Centre that allows

System Administrators and users to configure scan settings.

This is accomplished by using an Internet browser such as

NetScape (version 3.x or later) or Microsoft Internet Explorer

(version 4.x or later).

Using Internet Services, you can:

• Create new scan templates

• Update existing scan templates

• Modify scan configurations (including document repository locations), enable and disable Confirmation Sheets, and change Filing Protocols.

• Enable Multi-Page TIFF, which will create a single TIFF file for a multi-page document, instead of one TIFF file for each page


• Multi-Page TIFF can be enabled using Xerox CentreWare

Internet Services. When Multi-Page TIFF is enabled, a single TIFF file will be created for a multi-page document.

This single TIFF file will contain all the pages of the document. An .XSM folder is not created when scanning in the

Multi-Page TIFF mode. A single TIFF file and a log file

(.xst) are stored in the repository for each multi-page document that is scanned.


CAUTION



If you will be using CentreWare Internet Services to complete the installation, perform these steps.

A. Refer to the chapter entitled Internet Services in this document.

B. Follow the instructions located in the section of this chapter entitled Set up Scanning.

C. Finally, refer to the section entitled Scanning Documents of the Internet Services Guide, and follow the instructions there.

8. It is recommended that you install the Visioneer PaperPort software, which is shipped on a CD ROM and included with your Document Centre when you purchase Scanning Services.

This software should be installed at each client workstation.

PaperPort allows you to annotate, organise, file and locate scanned TIFF documents. After you scan a document at the

Document Centre, you can access PaperPort and retrieve the scanned file within the PaperPort application. With PaperPort links, you can transfer documents between the PaperPort desktop and other applications and devices on your workstation.

PaperPort contains links to several types of applications and devices, including:

• electronic fax applications

• electronic mail (“E-Mail”) applications

• optical character recognition (“OCR”) applications

• printers

• personal information managers (“PIM”)

• document control systems.


Test scanning

NOTE

A. Place the document that you want to scan in the Document

Feeder, or place the first page on the Document Glass.

B. Select the Scan feature on the Document Centre Touch

Screen.

C. Scan jobs are based on templates that contain programming selections for your job. Verify that default.xst is highlighted in the scan template list. This is the default template.

D. If desired, select More Scanning Features and modify the template by selecting options from the Scan Setups tab on the

Document Centre Touch Screen. Note that any changes you make from the Touch Screen apply only to the current job.

The template settings will be restored after the completion of the scan job.

E. Press the Start button. After the job is scanned, the

Document Centre files, faxes, and prints the job as specified in the default.xst scan template. At completion, a

Confirmation Sheet (if enabled) is printed that describes the results of the job.

F. Allow approximately one minute for the process to complete a one-page job. It will take longer if you have scanned multiple pages. Then check to make sure that the scanned file has been stored in the designated repository on the file server.

G. The Document Centre creates a separate TIFF file for each page it scans. (Unless the Enable Multi-Page TIFF option is selected, which will create a single TIFF file for a multi-page document, instead of one TIFF file for each page.) Pages are numbered sequentially. Files are stored on the file server, and the directory path is specified within the job template.

If the scanning operation is not successful, check the Confirmation

Sheet for a message or other information that may be helpful in identifying the cause of the problem.


NOTE

H. The scanned file is transferred to a folder in the scanner account on the file server. The .XSM extension on the folder represents a Xerox document storage format that is designed to simplify integration with third-party software applications.

I. At your workstation, view or list the directory path for the scanner account on the file server. The scanning operation created a folder named DOC.XSM.

J. Open the DOC.XSM folder. You should see several files in this folder:

00000001.TIF ...00000002.TIF for example, are the individual TIFF images of the pages that were scanned.

There can be several TIFF files if the document has more than one page, or if Append was selected for the Filing

Policy and more than one document has been scanned.

Each page of the document is represented by a different

TIFF file. (Unless the Enable Multi-Page TIFF option is selected, which will create a single TIFF file for a multipage document, instead of one TIFF file for each page.)

The Document Centre supports TIFF File Formats.

NETSCAN.DAT is an ASCII file which contains the names of the TIFF files scanned with the last scanning operation. This file is updated after every successful storage of a .TIF file.

NEXTNAME.DAT is an ASCII file which contains the name of the next available .TIF file. This name is controlled and incremented based on the Filing Policy specified in the job template.

NETSCAN.XST contains the template information for the last file that was scanned. It is also used as a job log for status and a source for the post-processing of information.

XSMDESC.DAT is an ASCII file containing the document name (0-50 characters).


K. At this point, the TIFF file can be imported into any software application that can accept TIFF files.

L. Scanning is now ready to operate. Subsequent scanning operations can be modified by changing the selections in the

Default Template using the Document Centre Touch Screen.

M. The installation process is now complete.


Set Up Scanning - FTP (File Transfer

Protocol)


Prior to starting the installation procedure, perform the following:

1. Ensure that the Document Centre is connected, configured, and operating correctly as a network printer.

2. Ensure that FTP Services are running on a platform on the network.

If FTP Services is running on a Windows NT server, ensure that

Allow Only Anonymous Connections is NOT selected.

3. Create a user account for the scanner.

If the account is created on a Windows NT server, select User

Cannot Change Password and Password Never Expires when the password is set, and select Logon Locally under User

Rights.

4. Create a directory to be used as a repository for scanned files.

If the directory is created on a Windows NT server, enter the scan user name in the Alias box and select Access Read and

Write.


Set Up Options

There are two procedures that can be used to successfully set up scanning. Read the information below and choose the procedure that you will use to complete the installation:

• Set Up Scanning

To complete the native implementation of scanning for your network environment, go to the section of this chapter titled Set

Up Scanning now.

• Use Xerox CentreWare Internet Services

Xerox’s CentreWare Internet Services is accessed through the embedded HTTP server on the Document Centre that allows

System Administrators and users to configure scan settings.

This is accomplished by using an Internet browser such as

NetScape (version 3.x or later) or Microsoft Internet Explorer

(version 4.x or later).

Using Internet Services, you can:

• Create new scan templates

• Update existing scan templates

• Modify scan configurations (including document repository locations) enable and disable Confirmation Sheets, and change Filing Protocols.

• Enable Multi-Page TIFF, which will create a single TIFF file for a multi-page document, instead of one TIFF file for each page.


CAUTION


• Multi-Page TIFF can be enabled using Xerox CentreWare

Internet Services. When Multi-Page TIFF is enabled, a single

TIFF file will be created for a multi-page document. This single TIFF file will contain all the pages of the document. An

.XSM folder is not created when scanning in the Multi-Page

Settings screen.

7. It is recommended that you install the Visioneer PaperPort software, which is shipped on a CD ROM, and included with your Document Centre when you purchase Scanning Services.

This software should be installed at each client workstation.


PaperPort allows you to annotate, organise, file and locate scanned TIFF documents. After you scan a document at the

Document Centre, you can access PaperPort and retrieve the scanned file within the PaperPort application. With PaperPort links, you can transfer documents between the PaperPort desktop and other applications and devices on your workstation.

PaperPort contains links to several types of applications and devices, including:

• electronic fax applications

• electronic mail (“E-Mail”) applications

• optical character recognition (“OCR”) applications

• printers

• personal information managers (“PIM”)

• document control systems.


Test scanning

A. Place the document that you want to scan in the Document

Feeder, or place the first page on the Document Glass.

B. Select the Scan feature on the Document Centre Touch

Screen.

C. Scan jobs are based on templates that contain programming selections for your job. Verify that default.xst is highlighted in the scan template list. This is the default template.

D. If desired, select More Scanning Features and modify the template by selecting options from the Scan Setups tab on the

Document Centre Touch Screen. Note that any changes you make from the Touch Screen apply only to the current job.

The template settings will be restored after the completion of the scan job.


NOTE

Page 20 - 38

E. Press the Start button. After the job is scanned, the

Document Centre files, faxes, and prints the job as specified in the default.xst scan template. At completion, a

Confirmation Sheet (if enabled) is printed that describes the results of the job.

F. Allow approximately one minute for the process to complete a one-page job. It will take longer if you have scanned multiple pages. Then check to make sure that the scanned file has been stored in the repository on the file server.

G. The Document Centre creates a separate TIFF file for each page it scans. (Unless the Enable Multi-Page TIFF option is selected, which will create a single TIFF file for a multi-page document, instead of one TIFF file for each page.) Pages are numbered sequentially. Files are stored on the file server, and the directory path is specified within the job template.

If the scanning operation is not successful, check the Confirmation

Sheet for a message or other information that may be helpful in identifying the cause of the problem.

H. The scanned file is transferred to a folder in the scanner account on the file server. The .XSM extension on the folder represents a Xerox document storage format that is designed to simplify integration with third-party software applications.

I. At your workstation, view or list the directory path for the scanner account on the file server. The scanning operation created a folder named DOC.XSM.

J. Open the DOC.XSM folder. You should see several files in this folder:

00000001.TIF ...00000002.TIF for example, are the individual TIFF images of the pages that were scanned.

There can be several TIFF files if the document has more than one page, or if Append was selected for the Filing

Policy and more than one document has been scanned.

Each page of the document is represented by a different

TIFF file. (Unless the Enable Multi-Page TIFF option is selected, which will create a single TIFF file for a multipage document, instead of one TIFF file for each page.)

NETSCAN.DAT is an ASCII file which contains the


names of the TIFF files scanned with the last scanning operation. This file is updated after every successful storage of a .TIF file.

NEXTNAME.DAT is an ASCII file which contains the name of the next available .TIF file. This name is controlled and incremented based on the Filing Policy specified in the job template.

NETSCAN.XST contains the template information for the last file that was scanned. It is also used as a job log for status and a source for the post-processing of information.

XSMDESC.DAT is an ASCII file containing the document name (0-50 characters).

K. At this point, the TIFF file can be imported into any software application that can accept TIFF files.

L. Scanning is now ready to operate. Subsequent scanning operations can be modified by changing the selections in the

Default Template using the Document Centre Touch Screen.

The installation process is now complete.


Hints and Tips / Problem Solving

Hints and Tips

1. Prior to performing the initial scan job, verify the following from a workstation on the network by logging into the scan account and copying a file into the scan repository:

• The Document Centre user account and password are correct.

• The correct rights to the document repository have been assigned to the Document Centre.

Also, make sure that the Confirmation Sheet option is enabled.

This provides details of each scan job, including status, filing location, Filing Policy and scan settings. Enabling the

Confirmation Sheet is part of the set up procedure detailed in the

Set Up Scanning - NetWare and Set Up Scanning - FTP (File

Transfer Protocol) chapters of this guide.

2. You can confirm that a scan job was successfully completed by verifying that the number of pages scanned is the same as the number of files stored in the document repository for that job.

(Unless the Enable Multi-Page TIFF option is selected, which will create a single TIFF file for a multi-page document, instead of one TIFF file for each page.)

3. The default directory created for each scan job is DOC.XSM.


Installation Considerations

Filing Policy

• An advantage of the Overwrite policy is that minimal disk space is required since files are deleted and recreated for each scan job. This makes it ideal for users with their own file space allocation.

• A disadvantage of the Overwrite policy is that with a shared document repository, users will overwrite other users’ files, possibly before the file is retrieved by the user.

• An advantage of the Append policy is that no data is lost because users share a document repository.

• A disadvantage of the Append policy is that disk space may quickly be consumed if not managed properly. This is especially true when each user has his or her own file space.

• An advantage of the New Exact policy is that it checks to see if any files already exist in the document repository. If there are no files in the repository, the newly scanned files are sent to it.

• A disadvantage of the New Exact policy is that if there are files stored in the repository, the scan job is aborted.

• An advantage of the New Auto Generate policy is that it creates a new directory structure, based on the time and date of creation, into which the TIFF images are filed.

• A disadvantage of the New Auto Generate policy is that while this may seem like the safest policy choice, it also requires more disk space than the Overwrite policy.

Optical Character Recognition (OCR)

• If you are using the OCR capabilities of Visioneer PaperPort and TextBridge, it is recommended that you use the Text image quality selection and the highest resolution possible. This will ensure optimum OCR capabilities.


Scan Templates

• Use Xerox CentreWare Internet Services to create additional scan templates, so users do not need to manually modify the default scan template for each scan job.

Sharing One Document Repository Among Multiple

Document Centres

• More than one Document Centre may use a document repository. Simply configure each Document Centre in a similar manner and create additional scan templates on each Document Centre as needed.


Problem Solving

You are here because a problem has been identified with the network scanning functions of the Document Centre.

Resolve any copier problems first. Perform the corrective action that is recommended by the Document Centre User Guide. Do not attempt to resolve a network scanning problem if the copier functions are not operating correctly.

A. The image quality of the scanned image is not acceptable.

Be sure to select the appropriate image quality setting in the template you are using to scan the image. Use the

Image Quality Text setting for text documents and the

Photo setting for grayscale images.

Also, try selecting a scanner resolution of 1.2 to 2.0 times the screen frequency of the device that the file will be displayed or printed on.

B. The optical character recognition (“OCR”) application you are using with the scanned image does not recognise text accurately.

Make sure that you have selected the Image Quality Text setting when scanning the document(s).

C. The size of the scanned image file is too large.

Select a scanner resolution of 1.2 to 2.0 times the screen frequency of the device that the file will be displayed or printed on.


Error Messages

Problem

File delete, replace failed

Filing directory already exists

File transfer failed

Login failure. Check user, password, and/or setups

Corrective Action

• During an Overwrite operation (a Filing Policy option), an attempt to remove files from the remote directory failed. This can be caused by insufficient access rights or by file attributes that are read-only.

• During a scanning operation, this error can occur when the New Exact

Filing Policy is used (set through

Internet Services) and the (folder name).XSM directory already exists on the specified path. This is in accordance with the New Exact option.

• During a scanning operation, the network or destination server happens to go down when the file transfer is occurring.

• Another possibility is that the destination disk is full.

A scanning operation failed.

Verify the following from a workstation on the network by logging into the scan account and copying a file into the scan repository:

• The user name is invalid or incorrect.

• The password is invalid or incorrect.

Also check the following:

• The server name is invalid.

• The NDS Tree name (NetWare 4.x only) is invalid.

• The NDS Context name (NetWare 4.x only) is invalid.


Problem

Protocol not running

Remote directory lock failed

Corrective Action

A user tried a scanning operation with a destination on the NetWare server.

• The NetWare protocol is not currently enabled. Enable it.

The repository that you are attempting to send a job into with a scanning operation is in use by another Document Centre.

Check the following:

• The specified volume name is invalid.

• The specified filing destination (path) is invalid.

• The destination disk is full, preventing the creation of the remote directory.
