Figure 10 – With SmarThru’s Image Manager utility, users may print and e-mail scanned documents, as
well as store them in network folders, fax them, process them with OCR software, and delete them.
Image Manager features convenient “drag and drop” operation, so that users simply “drag” the scanned
document onto the appropriate icon on the bottom of the tab.
Scanning Discussion
One potential difficulty with the SCX-5312F’s pull scanning is that documents to be scanned must be left
unattended in the ADF, or on the platen, while the user programs the scanning operation. That means
other users may inadvertently remove the documents to be scanned, disrupting the scanning operation.
However, this isn’t likely to be a problem, since, in order to scan, the unit must be connected directly to
a single computer workstation via the parallel or USB interfaces, which means that the computer
workstation will be located within just a few feet of the computer workstation. Similarly, even if the
customer decides to connect the unit to their LAN with the optional 10/100BaseT Ethernet network
interface, the USB interface and direct connection to a computer workstation for scanning is still
required, so that contention should not be a problem.
