19. WebDocBox (MFP models only)
Overview of WebDocBox Operations
• WebDocBox allows users to issue commands via a Web browser to view, capture, print, send
(email, FAX, forward) and delete Document Sever image files that were saved to the MFP HDD
using the Copier, Printer, Scanner and FAX functions, as well as those that were restored to the
MFP using Desk Top Editor For Production. It is also possible to view thumbnails of these images.
Data Flow
• WebDocBox supports HTTP, a protocol used by Web browsers installed on network-connected
computers. The session is initiated when the first request for connection is received from the Web
browser, after which WebDocBox sends commands to the shared service layers in accordance with
the specific operations requested. If 30 minutes passes with no additional access attempts from the
same browser, the session is terminated. To initiate a new session, it is then necessary to access
the WebDocBox top page, i.e. the main screen that displays the list of Document Server files.
Viewing Thumbnails of Stored Image Data
• The MCS creates thumbnails of the Document Server image files that were stored in the HDD
using each machine principal function, after which the thumbnails are stored in the HDD. When the
MFP receives a request from the Web browser to view a thumbnail, WebDocBox instructs the
GWWS to send the requested thumbnail to the PC. GWWS loads the thumbnail directly from HDD
memory and then sends it to the PC via the NCS.
Viewing and Changing the Properties of Stored Image Data
• By sending a request from the Web browser to view the properties of stored image data, it is
possible to view information such as the date/time at which the file was stored and the size of the
original for the first page. By sending a request to change the property settings, it is possible to
change such items as the filename, document name and password. These operations are carried
out by the GWWS and MCS, after which the requested information or results of the requested
operation are sent to the PC via the NCS.
