Network Scanning (Xerox, Océ etc )

Unlike the ordinary scanning concept in PixEdit, where the scanner is connected to the local PC and controlled by PixEdit, network scanners operate differently. Network scanners are designed to put scanned files into a defined folder on the network and operated from the scanner console.

This concept matches perfect with the Thumbnail Window in PixEdit. Assuming the Thumbnail Window is configured to “Watch” the same folder as configured for scanned files, thumbnails will be displayed in this window as the files are arriving from the scanner.

If you configure "Network scanner" in Scan, Select Scanner to network scanning this will be done automatically.

By combining use of Job Separation Sheets and the Tools, Separate Jobs or File, Save&Separate function with network scanning, several batches may be scanned in one operation and separated at a later time. This saves trips to the scanner, since Network scanners are usually located at central places.
