Features and Benefits
File Server
Independence
The AXIS 700 is connected as a node in an Ethernet network,
enabling scanning devices to be accessed through the network, via
Internet and intranet-related protocols. It can be used independently
of file servers, i.e. communication takes place directly between the
network client and the AXIS 700, without network licensing fees. This
results in high performance and reliability.
Simplicity The file-server independent approach makes the installation quick and
convenient. In most environments, the physical connection to the
network is the only installation required prior to using the AXIS 700.
No software needs to be installed on clients or file servers, except for
applications for viewing the generated images in TIFF, JPEG and
PDF format.
Internet/Intranet
Web Server
The built-in Web server enables access to the AXIS 700 from any
standard Web browser, such as Netscape Navigator or Internet
Explorer. Thus, the AXIS 700 can be accessed from Windows, OS/2,
Macintosh and UNIX workstations. The support includes scanning to
Web browser and Administration tools.
