I've installed a couple Xerox's Workcentre Pro's at the
Business college.
One of them is set up to scan to a network folder on
the server. It accesses this via FTP. There is a software you can
install on the clients to let them know when the scanning is done, and how to
process this (OCR) etc..
The Xerox also has the ability to scan directly to
email, and send out PDF's. Only issue with that is we had to open up our
email server for relaying for the IP of the Workcentre Pro. They may
have added a feature by now that allows an authenticated
account.
I'm looking into
scanners that have an Ethernet connection to allow them to be shared across a
department or workgroup. If anyone has this kind of setup I'd like to hear
about what you're using, how well it works, etc.
Thanks.
