This chapter explains metadata delivery, which can be used when the application integration module is installed.
METADATA DELIVERY (Data Entry)
When the application integration module is installed and an image file is generated for a scan send transmission,
metadata (data indicating the attributes of the image file and how it is to be processed) can be generated based on
pre-stored information and transmitted as a separate file. The metadata file is created in XML format. By linking the
metadata with applications such as document management software, a workflow application, or an encryption server, a
sophisticated document solution environment can be built.
Using the application integration module, information on a generated image file can be entered at the touch panel and
transmitted along with the image as an XML file.
