Setting a File Format for Workflow Scans
Workflow Scanning converts hard copy documents into electronic images and saves them into
network filing destinations (repositories).
A Template must be used when a scan is made - the template contains the filing destination
address and other scan settings such as the image quality. When making a scan you can edit the
scan settings but not the filing destination.
Note: This option must be made available by your System Administrator.
If Authentication or Accounting has been enabled on your device you may have to enter login
details to access the Workflow Scanning features.
Use the Filing Options to specify details about the scanned images to be stored, such as the file
format, whether the document is stored as a single file per page or as a multi-page document, or
whether the scanned document should be searchable.
