❏ Limitations
● Limitations in Browsing for Shared Folders
A problem in browsing for shared folders on computers
running the Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2
operating system has been determined to exist. You will
not be able to browse for shared folders to act as image
file destinations by pressing the [Browse] button on the
ScanFront touch panel. (Similarly, you will not be able
to browse for shared folders in the screen that appears
after you click [Browse] in the ScanFront Web Menu.)
This problem is due to the specifications of Windows 7
and Windows Server 2008 R2.
As a result, if you want to specify a shared folder on a
computer running these operating systems as the
destination for image files, you must enter the shared
folder manually. (When operating the ScanFront touch
panel to specify a shared folder as the destination
address, for example, enter the folder path in [Folder
path].) Instead of entering the full path in such cases,
you can press the [Browse] button after entering the
computer name and the path up until the top-most folder
of that computer, and then specify the rest of the path in
the screen that appears.
This problem does not occur when the supplied
ScanFront Service software is installed on the network.
● Limitations for Network Environments without
ScanFront Service
To send image files to destinations and devices, such as
the following, the supplied ScanFront Service software
must be installed on a computer on the same network as
the ScanFront scanner.
– Destinations (folders on computers, printers, etc.)
located on different segments of a network on which
a WINS server is not configured
– Printers on the network
– Certain NAS (network-attached storage)
