Installation and Setup Guide | 9
The ShareScan Client is installed on a MEAP
®
-enabled Canon
®
imageRUNNER
™
Ricoh
SDK/J-enabled deviceScanStation. It displays the user interface on the device’s control panel and
handles user input. It passes all information, including the raw scanned image file, to the Services
Manager for processing.
The ShareScan Services Manager resides on a network computer running Microsoft
®
Windows
®
2000, Windows 2003, Windows XP, or Microsoft Vista. ShareScan does not require
any special server hardware. The Services Manager handles requests from the client, returns user
interface screens and preview images to the client, and creates the master image file according to
the selected options (file type, searchable text, encryption, etc.). It also manages all connected
devices; a single Services Manager can support multiple clients.
The Connectors, which reside on the same computer as the Services Manager, provide
connectivity to back-end applications. For example, the eCopy Connector for Microsoft
Exchange enables users to scan documents and e-mail them using Microsoft Exchange. The
eCopy Connector for Fax via Lotus Notes enables users to scan documents and fax them using
Lotus Notes.
