Introduction
About eCopy ShareScan

ShareScan enables you to scan documents using a digital copier, multifunction device, or highspeed scanner. You can then fax or e-mail the documents using your existing fax or e-mail
application, print the documents, or deliver the scanned images to your desktop for additional
processing using eCopy Desktop. ShareScan runs on a dedicated PC connected to digital copiers,
popular high-speed scanners, and multifunction devices, creating a workgroup eCopy
ScanStation.
Send a document

your printer
Send a document to
your Inbox
Send a document to
a shared location
ShareScan works with your existing applications, including word processors, fax, and e-mail,
broadening their capability to include paper documents.
ShareScan can save time and increase the productivity of anyone who handles paper documents.
The next section provides you with a few examples of tasks you can accomplish with ShareScan.
Examples include:
>
Faxing large documents quickly and easily
>
Sending paper documents via the internet
>
Using your scanner as a high speed copier
>
Archiving paper documents
Please note that there are laws that govern what you can and cannot scan legally. Contact the
Copyright Office, Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. 20559 for information.
Improving your productivity with ShareScan

Faxing large documents quickly and easily
You have a 40 page specification that you need to fax to a potential client. You could use your regular fax machine,
but that could take a while. Is there a faster way?
When used in conjunction with a network fax application, ShareScan enables your scanner to
function as a high-speed fax machine. Instead of slowly feeding pages into your fax machine, you
can quickly scan the entire document at your scanners maximum speed and then fax the
scanned document using your network fax application. Not only have you saved yourself a long
wait at the fax machine, but you can also take advantage of delayed send and other capabilities
your fax application offers.
To learn how to use ShareScan to send a fax, see Faxing a document from ShareScan on
page 16.
Sending paper documents via e-mail

You find an important investigative report in a small trade newsletter that contains some unusual financial
information about a competitor. You could use a conventional photocopier and distribute copies to your colleagues
in other offices, but maybe theres an alternative?
When used in conjunction with an e-mail application, ShareScan converts your scanner into an
electronic copy and distribution machine. Instead of making multiple paper copies, you can scan
the article and e-mail it to your colleagues locally or via the Internet. Why use FedEx or other
overnight couriers when you can send it instantly and at no charge over the Internet?
To learn how to use ShareScan to e-mail a document, see E-mailing a document from
ShareScan on page 31.
Part 1
Introduction
Using your scanner as a high speed copier

Youd like to print a dozen copies of an 8-page document, but the high speed copier is in another department.
Perhaps ShareScan could provide some basic copy capability?
You can use ShareScan as a high-speed copier. Simply place the document in the scanners
document feed, press the Printer button, and then print as many copies as you need.
To learn how to use ShareScan to copy documents, see Scanning and printing a document on
page 51.
Archiving paper documents

You have a large stack of important paper documents you need to archive. You recognize the vulnerability and
space requirements of paper-based information so youd like to archive them electronically. How can you do that?
You can use ShareScan to scan the documents and send them electronically to your desktop. You
can then use eCopy Desktop to go through the documents and file them using the eCopy file
management capability. If you need to add any special annotations, you can do so using eCopy
Desktops markup tools. Not only do you save on the space required to store paper documents,
but you can also ensure their safety by including them in your standard backup routine.
To learn how to use ShareScan to scan and send documents to your desktop, see Sending a
document to the desktop on page 47.
Processing and storing different documents automatically

You receive many standard order forms every day. Youd like to be able to scan them in and have them go to the
right place on the network while decreasing the amount of time that someone needs to spend at the scanner. How
can you do this?
You can use eCopy Quick Connect to create ShareScan buttons with custom attributes. You can
set up an Orders button so that all an operator needs to do is press that button to scan a stack
of orders, which are then placed in a predetermined Sales folder on your network with a unique
name and a date and time stamp. You can even have the operator label certain file types with a
specific title, such as Urgent, so that your back-end application can grab those files out of the
sales folder. Or you can customize Quick Connect to send 3 page forms to one folder and 2 page
forms to another. The ways you can customize Quick Connect are virtually unlimited.
To learn more about saving documents using Quick Connect on the ScanStation, please refer to
Saving a document using Quick Connect on page 59.

10
Selecting file format, searchable text and optional encryption

If your administrator has enabled file selection, you can select the file format from the Scan
Preview window. The selected file format remains in effect until the scanner settings return to
their default values after 60 seconds of inactivity or ShareScan is restarted.
To select the file format:
1
In the ShareScan Preview window, press the Format button.

The File Format window displays.
Press the File Format field and choose the file type you want
to use.
Note: Make sure you select a format that is appropriate for the scan
function you plan to use.
Press OK.
For information about controlling other scanner settings, see Changing the scanner settings on
page 10.
11
Part 2
Using ShareScan
Using optional encryption

If you need to send a secure document, use document encryption. Encryption prevents
unauthorized access to the document, meaning that only people with the password are able to
decipher the text.
If your administrator has enabled optional encryption, you can enable document encryption
from the Scan Preview window. When enabled in this way, encryption remains in effect until the
scanner settings return to their default values after 60 seconds of inactivity or ShareScan is
restarted.
To enable optional encryption:
1
In the ShareScan Preview window, press the Format button.

The File Format window displays.
12
Press the button to enable encryption. Then press OK. You

will be prompted for the encryption password when the scan
is complete.
Using optional Create Searchable Text

When Creating Searchable Text is enabled, ShareScan uses its built-in OCR engine to create a
text version of the scanned document. The text is then embedded in the CPY or PDF file header.
This permits full-text searching from supported document management systems. If you use this
option with eCopy (CPY) files, the recipient must have eCopy Desktop v7.0 or higher.
If your administrator has enabled optional searchable text, the Create Searchable Text
checkbox appears on the Format screen. This gives you the option of creating searchable text for
specific scanning jobs. If you enable it, you still have the option of canceling the action at any
time during the process.
If searchable text is disabled or required, this checkbox does not appear on the Format screen.
To enable optional searchable text:
1
From the ShareScan Preview window, press Format. The File

Format window displays.
Press the Create Searchable Text checkbox. Searchable text

is created for your scan job.
To cancel searchable text while its being created, click Cancel

on the searchable text bar.

Encrypting the scanned document
Encrypting the scanned document

If your ShareScan administrator has enabled document security, you may be prompted to enter
an encryption password when the scan is complete.
This password encrypts the scanned image file before it is sent across the network. You must
give this password to the recipient so they can open the file. Encryption is only available when
the document is delivered as an eCopy (CPY) or PDF file it is not supported with TIFF or JPG.
Note: There is no password prompt when using the Scan to Printer and Scan to Fax functions.
To enter an encryption password:

1
When prompted, enter a password of at least one character.
Press OK.

must have Microsoft strong encryption installed in order to open an encrypted document. Strong encryption is
included with Internet Explorer 5.01 SP1, Internet Explorer 5.5 and higher, Windows NT SP4 and higher, Windows
2000 SP2, and Windows XP.

Saving scanned documents using eCopy Quick Connect

eCopy Quick Connect lets you deliver scanned documents to a preconfigured network folder or
FTP location. You can configure several buttons in the main ShareScan window, each with a
unique Quick Connect profile. You can add a custom icon and label to each button to make
function selection easy, as shown below.
Note: The maximum number of buttons the main ShareScan window can accommodate is six. This includes those
for any standard scanning functions you have configured (Scan to Desktop, Scan to Mail, etc.).
You can set up an automatic naming system so that each scanned image file is named uniquely
according to whatever naming convention is most appropriate for the application. You can
include date or time stamps, predefined strings, user-defined strings, numeric sequences, etc.
Quick Connect also includes an optional batching capability that lets you separate a stack of
hardcopy documents into several files, each containing a fixed number of pages.
Example: A mortgage company processes large numbers of standard mortgage applications. Each
application is five pages long. You can configure a Quick Connect profile to scan a large batch of
incoming applications and create a new file every five pages.
58
Saving a document using Quick Connect

Quick Connect allows you to send scanned documents to a designated storage location. The
ShareScan administrator can configure Quick Connect with batching off or on:
>
With batching off, all scanned pages are saved to a single file. For example, if you scan 30
pages, ShareScan creates a single 30-page file. Details are provided below.
>
With batching on, scanned pages are saved as multiple files, each containing a fixed number
of pages. For example, if you scan 30 pages with the batch size set to five, ShareScan creates
six 5-page files. Batching is typically used for scanning large numbers of fixed-size forms.
Scanning with batching off

Note: If the ShareScan administrator has enabled activity tracking, you may be prompted to enter one or more
tracking fields during the scanning process.
To save a document using Quick Connect with batching off:
