NETWORK SCANNER TOOL (NST) SETUP

By default NST create new file names on the computer. When NST is used to route metadata files to a

third-party application, this setting should be kept off because the machine-created filename is used as

a cross-reference between the image and XML file. (When setting the file name in [Send Settings], to

ensure that a previously existing file on a computer is not overwritten by a transmitted file of the same

name, be sure to configure the file name so that name duplication cannot occur; for example, by

including a unique extension (the date, etc.) in the generated file name. If the file name setting is left

blank, the machine will automatically generate a file name that is unique.)

It is recommended that you use the accompanying network scanner tool to receive metadata files. For

more information, see the Network Scanner Tool User's Guide.

FTP DESTINATION SETUP

If you are not using NST, FTP destinations can be configured to send data directly to an FTP server. FTP

destination types are configured in the Web pages. For detailed information on configuring new FTP

destinations, see [Help] in the Web pages.

NOTE

If your model is an MX model, the product key can be entered from the Web pages. For more information, see

[Help] at the top right corner of the Web pages.
