Installation guide

You configure connectors by creating connector profiles that specify various settings, such as the appearance
of the connector’s button and the image format that you want to use during scanning. You can create
multiple profiles for each connector and you can activate each connector profile on multiple devices.
7.1- Installing and removing connectors
During installation of the ShareScan software, you can install all the eCopy connectors supplied with the
installation package purchased by your organization. After you license a device, you can activate any installed
connectors.
7.2- About connector profiles
You can configure multiple profiles for each connector as each connector profile defines a set of
configuration options for that connector. In addition, you can activate multiple profiles for each connector
on a single device. For example, you can create two unique profiles for the Exchange connector and activate
both on device X.
7.2.1 - Example of two profiles for the same connector activated on a single
device
Profile name Profile description Device
Expense Reports Scans and sends expense reports to a Payroll inbox. Device X
Resumes Scans and sends resumes to a Human Resources (HR) inbox. Device X
For more information on configuring a connector profile, refer to the connector-specific Configuring the
connector topic.
7.3- Planning connectors
To obtain the best result from your connector, you may want to consider the ways the connector is used in your
work environment, as well as a number of other factors, for instance:
n Saving time: If you want to reduce the amount of time your users spend at the device, you can set
up an Express connector profile that allows users to scan and send documents by simply pressing the
connector button at the device.
You can create multiple buttons and configure each to scan documents to, or store documents in a
different destination. You can also control the number of destinations presented to the user at the
device and the attributes for each destination.
Users can also save time by not having to enter their credentials each time they use the device. To
enable your users to skip this step in the scanning process, select the Logon as option on the
Authentication tab when you configure the destination for your connector profile.
You may also want to consider the ShareScan Session Logon feature, which - when set - allows users
to bypass the Logon screen altogether.
