2 BASIC OPERATION

Scanning Documents Using the Remote Scan Driver

With the Remote Scan driver, documents set on the equipment can be scanned remotely from your computer. Your scans are loaded into a TWAIN-compliant application.

Scanning documents using the Remote Scan driver

1 Place the original(s).

For help, refer to the Copying Guide .

2 Launch a TWAIN-compliant application.

3 From the [File] menu, select the device used for scanning the original(s). Select “HS

Remote Scan Driver.”

The method of selecting the device varies depending on your TWAIN-compliant application.

4 From the [File] menu, select the menu to scan the original(s).

The “HS Remote Scan Driver” dialog box appears.

y The menu for scanning the original(s) varies depending on your TWAIN-compliant application.

y

If you are using the Remote Scan driver for the first time, the “Local Discovery” dialog box appears. In this case, search the network for your same series MFP and establish a connection.

P.11 “Connecting to the same series MFP”

5 Change the scan settings as required, and click [Scan].

The equipment starts scanning the original(s). When the scanning is complete, your scans are displayed in the application. (While scanning the originals, the equipment displays “Scanning and transferring...” on the touch panel.)

To learn more about scan settings, see the following section:

P.16 “Changing Scan Settings”

10 Scanning Documents Using the Remote Scan Driver

2 BASIC OPERATION

Connecting to the same series MFP

When you use the Remote Scan driver and access your machine for the first time, the Local Discovery dialog box appears. In this case, you can either use the local discovery feature to automatically search the network for your machine or enter the MFP’s IP address manually.

P.11 “Searching MFPs automatically”

P.12 “Entering IP addresses manually”

To find your same series MFP under the SNMPv1/v2 environment, the SNMP read community name that is set for the target same series MFP must be “public.” For help, consult the administrator.

The following procedures can also be used for registering additional same series MFPs. If you wish to scan originals remotely from multiple same series MFPs, select [Devices] > [Discovery] in the “HS Remote Scan Driver” dialog box and follow the procedure below to register additional same series MFPs.

P.20 “Registering additional same series MFPs”

Searching MFPs automatically

1 Click [Start Discovery].

The local discovery feature locates same series MFPs on the network.

y

You can quit the process by clicking [Stop Discovery].

y Devices in different segments may not be found. If you cannot find your machine, find it manually using

[Manual Selection].

P.12 “Entering IP addresses manually” y

The search process may take a long time especially when many clients exist on the network. In this case, change the discovery settings using [Advanced].

P.21 “Changing Network Discovery Settings” y The local discovery feature cannot detect same series MFPs on the IPX/SPX network.

y The target same series MFPs may not be found due to the SNMP settings. In this case, verify and/or change the settings using the SNMP Settings dialog box. For help, see the following section:

3 USEFUL FUNCTIONS AND SETTINGS

Changing Network Discovery Settings

When you use the Remote Scan driver and connect to your machine for the first time, or when registering an additional same series MFP, you need to find the target MFP on the network.

P.11 “Connecting to the same series MFP”

P.20 “Registering additional same series MFPs”

The search process may take a long time especially when a number of clients exist on the network. In this case, you can narrow down the search conditions using the Discovery Settings dialog box.

In addition, your attempt to find a same series MFP may fail due to the SNMP Network settings configured for the MFP. In this case, open the SNMP Settings dialog box and verify and/or change the settings.

P.22 “Changing SNMP settings”

Ask the administrator for details on the SNMP Network settings configured for your machine.

To access the Discovery Settings dialog box, click [Advanced] in the Local Discovery dialog box. Make the following settings as required in the dialog box that appears:

Remote Scan Driver Errors

This section describes the most common Remote Scan driver errors and provides steps to resolve them. If the problem persists after you have followed all of the steps, make sure to note the name of your application, what you are trying to do/ have done, and any error messages and then contact an authorized dealer for further assistance.

P.24 “Cannot find my machine”

P.24 “Cannot connect to MFPs found by local discovery”

P.24 “Cannot acquire my scans”

For other problems, see the Remote Scan driver’s README file.

„

Cannot find my machine

Problem description:

I cannot find my machine using the local discovery feature.

Corrective action:

1. Make sure that the machine and your computer are correctly connected to the TCP/IP network.

2. If the machine belongs to a subnet different from your computer’s, make sure that the default gateway setting is correctly set up.

„

Cannot connect to MFPs found by local discovery

Problem description:

With the help of the local discovery feature, I have found the MFP, but cannot connect to it.

Corrective action:

1. If the network protocol is IPv4, make sure that Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 SP2 or later is installed. If the network protocol is IPv6, make sure that Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 or later is installed.

2. Make sure that the Proxy settings on the Microsoft Internet Explorer are correctly set so that it can connect to the MFP.

3. Make sure that Microsoft Internet Explorer is not in off-line mode. If it is in off-line mode, change it to on-line mode.

4. Make sure that the SNMP settings are correctly set.

P.22 “Changing SNMP settings”

5. Make sure that the machine is correctly connected to the network.

A device connection failure may also occur when too many computers try to connect at the same time. Please try again later.

„

Cannot acquire my scans

Problem description:

I cannot acquire my scans using the Remote Scan driver.

Corrective action:

If your machine is not ready for the Remote Scan operation, you cannot acquire your scans using the Remote Scan driver.

The Remote Scan operation cannot be performed under the following conditions: y A paper jam occurs in the same series MFP.

y A serviceman call occurs in the same series MFP.

y Copying, scanning, faxing, or user function setting is being performed on the same series MFP.

y Any of the covers is open.

y Originals are placed in the Reversing Automatic Document Feeder while it is opened.
