ABOUT THE NETWORK SCANNER FUNCTION

The AR-NS3 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 transmission methods, depending on where you wish to send the scanned image
data.

The scanned information can 
be sent to one's own personal 
desktop. (referred to as "Scan 
to Desktop")

The scanned informa-
tion can be sent to an e-
mail recipient. (referred 
to as "Scan to E-mail")

The scanned information 
can be sent with the 
Internet-Fax feature. 
Internet-Fax Reception is 
also available.

Before Scan to Desktop can be 
performed, the "Network Scanner 
Tool" software in the CD-ROM that 
accompanied the Network Scanner 
Expansion Kit must be installed. 

The scanned information can 
be sent to a memory storage 
device on a network (a 
designated directory on an 
FTP server). (referred to as 
"Scan to FTP")
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. (referred 
to as "Scan to FTP 
(Hyperlink)")
