The AR-NS2 Network Scanner Expansion Kit adds network scanner functionality to your machine. A machine with
the network scanner functionality can scan a paper document, photograph, or other printed information into a data
file, and send the file to a file server or personal computer over a corporate network (intranet) or the Internet. 
You can select from the following three transmission methods, depending on where you wish to send the scanned
image data.

1. The scanned information can be sent to a

memory storage device on a network (a
designated directory on an FTP server).
(Hereafter referred to as "Scan to FTP" in this
manual.)
When sending scanned information to an FTP
server, an e-mail message can also be sent to
a preset e-mail address to inform the recipient
of the location of the scanned image data.
(Hereafter referred to as "Scan to FTP
(Hyperlink)" in this manual.)

2. The scanned information can be sent to one's

own personal desktop. (Hereafter referred to
as "Scan to Desktop" in this manual.)

* Before Scan to Desktop can be performed, the

"Network Scanner Tool" software in the CD-
ROM that accompanied the Network Scanner
Expansion Kit (AR-NS2) must be installed.
(Refer to "

" (page 9).)

3. The scanned information can be sent to an e-

mail recipient. (Hereafter referred to as "Scan
to E-mail" in this manual.)

To use the Network Scanner feature, settings for the E-mail server, DNS server, and destination addresses must be
established.
To establish the settings, use a computer that is connected to the same network as the machine to access the
machine's Web page. The Web page can be displayed with your Web browser (Internet Explorer 4.0 or later, or
Netscape Navigator 4.0 or later).

Use the following procedure to access the Web pages.

Supported browsers: 

Netscape Navigator 4.0 or later
Internet Explorer 4.0 or later 

Input the IP address
previously specified in
this product.
If you do not know the IP
address, see 

.

When the connection is completed, the following
Web page will appear in your Web browser. 

When you access the Web page in the machine, the following page will appear in your browser.
A menu frame appears on the left side of the page. When you click an item in the menu, a screen appears in the right
frame that allows you to establish settings for that item.
For overviews of each of the menu items, refer to chapter 3 of "Operation manual (for printer)".
For detailed explanations of the procedures for establishing settings, click "Help" in the menu frame.

To use the network scanner function, you must configure basic network scanner settings (

pages 5 - 6

), store

transmission destinations (

pages 7 - 11

), and program your sender's name (

).

Menu frame
Click the menu items displayed 
here to configure the 
corresponding settings.

Edit and delete stored 
transmission destinations.

Store various types of 
transmission destinations.

Configure basic settings for the 
network scanner function.

Some transmission methods 
require that the E-mail server 
and DNS server settings be 
configured.

Store the sender's name and E-
mail address for Scan to E-mail.

Click "Network Scanning" in the menu frame, and then establish the required settings. These settings should only be
established by the network administrator. After entering the settings, be sure to click "Submit" to store them. For
detailed information on setting procedures, refer to "Help".

■ Enable scanner delivery methods ("Enable Scanner Delivery to:")

Select the scanner delivery methods that you want to use. In the "Enable Scanner Delivery to:" field, click the
checkbox next to each method that you want to use so that a checkmark appears in the checkbox.
"Scan to E-mail" and "Scan to FTP & Scan to Desktop" are both initially selected.

■ Select the method for assigning a file name to a scanned image ("File Naming")

Select the method for assigning a file name to a scanned image. In "File Naming", click the items that you wish
to use in the file name. "Sender Name" and "Date & Time" are initially selected. If you are going to send images
to the same recipient more than once, we recommend that you also select "Session Page Counter" or "Unique
Identifier" to prevent sending multiple files with the same name, which would result in each successive file
overwriting the previous file.

■ Selecting an e-mail subject ("E-mail Subject": only used for Scan to E-mail)

This setting is not necessary if you will not be using Scan to E-mail. The setting is used to enter the subject that
appears in the recipient's e-mail program when you perform Scan to E-mail.
Enter a subject when using Scan to E-mail within 80 characters. Only one subject can be entered. If nothing is
entered, "Scanned image from <Device Name>" will appear.

* The name that appears in <Device Name> is the name stored in "Name" in the screen that appears when

you click "Status & Alert E-mail" in the menu frame. If a name has not been stored, the product name will
appear.

■ E-mail Server and DNS Server Settings

Scan to E-mail and Scan to FTP (Hyperlink) use SMTP to transmit e-mail, therefore your e-mail server
settings must be configured.
When configuring your e-mail server settings, your DNS server settings will also be necessary if you entered a
host name in the "Hostname or IP Address" box when storing destinations for Scan to FTP or Scan to Desktop.
To configure your e-mail server and DNS server settings, click "E-mail & DNS Setup" in the Network Scanning
Setup screen (see "

" on page 5), or click "E-mail & DNS" in the menu frame.

When you have completed all of the entries, click "Submit". The entries will be stored.

* If you are entering a host name, be sure to enter the IP address of your DNS server in the DNS settings below.

Primary E-mail Server

Enter an IP address for the primary e-mail server or a host name*. (If you will be
using Scan to E-mail, be sure to enter this information.)

Secondary E-mail Server

Enter an IP address for the secondary e-mail server or a host name. No need to
enter if secondary e-mail server is not set up.

E-mail Timeout [seconds]

Enter a time out period, from 0-60 seconds, that the system will wait for as it
attempts to connect to the primary server. The default is 20 seconds. If no
connection is made, the system will then look for the secondary server if it has
been set up. If not, the system will stop attempting to connect.

System Administrator

Enter an e-mail address to which the machine returns an unsuccessful delivery
message when the distribution has failed. Only 1 e-mail address can be entered.
The entered e-mail address is also used as sender e-mail address.

time zone is set after the selection.

Primary DNS Server

Enter the IP address of your primary DNS server here if required.

Secondary DNS Server
