Chapter 1 Before Use 4. Network Environment The network environment required to use the ScanFront is described below. To obtain details on your network environment, contact your network administrator. ❏ Network Environment ● Network Protocol The scanner uses TCP/IP protocol to connect to the network. ● IP Address Assignment The TCP/IP protocol uses one IP address for each device connected to the network. Consult your network administrator to determine the IP address to assign to the scanner. ● DHCP Support The scanner supports DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). A DHCP server provides a network environment in which IP addresses can be obtained automatically from the DHCP server, so there is no need to set an IP address for the scanner. * The number of IP addresses that can be obtained using DHCP is managed by the network administrator. For details, consult your network administrator. ● 1000Base-T Support The scanner supports 1000Base-T. However, communication may be slower than the communication speed of the network, depending on the other devices connected to the network and the type of hub. ● SMTP (E-mail) Server The scanner supports an SMTP server, so you can send image files directly from the scanner by e-mail. ● FTP Server Transmission may not be possible depending on firewall settings. ● Fax Scanned images can be sent to specified addresses as fax documents by sending e-mails that include the scanned images as attachments to an Internet fax service. Therefore, you must specify message formats and addresses in the method prescribed by your Internet fax service. ● Printer By using the FTP print function of a printer connected to the same network with the ScanFront, you can print scanned images. 23
