Chapter 4 ScanFront Service
1. About ScanFront Service
ScanFront Service is software that supplements the network functions of the ScanFront. To use this software, install it on a computer
connected to the same network as the ScanFront. (The computer on which ScanFront Service is installed will be herein referred to
as the “ScanFront Service Server”.)
By configuring a ScanFront Service Server, you can send
scanned images to locations on the network, such as the
following, where direct transfer from the ScanFront is
disabled.
● Destinations (folders on computers, printers, etc.)
located on different segments of a network on which
a WINS server is not configured
● Printers on the network
● Shared folders on a computer that is specified by IP
address
● Certain NAS (network-attached storage)
Scanned images from the ScanFront are sent via the
ScanFront Service Server to the user specified destination.
Up to 100 ScanFront scanners can be connected to a single
ScanFront Service Server. However, only up to 15 ScanFront
scanners can communicate with the ScanFront Service Server
at any one time.
