Brother

Contents

Info

This is a Client capture module, adding this module will allow the Workflow to be visible into the connected clients of this type. The module itself doesn’t capture any document but it will look into the client incoming queue for documents to process.

Capture module Brother Client allows to use this Workflow on connected and enabled Brother embedded Clients. When this module is added to a Workflow this will be visible, according eventually any permissions, to the Brother Clients currently configured in the Clients section.

Brother will allow to scan documents from Brother devices equipped with BSI technologies via the installed Scanshare embedded client.

For each imported job the Brother module will create a document into the target Workflow incoming queue. The document is composed by two files:

  • .img: the document itself in TIF LZW format retaining the original scanned document and properties
  • .var: the variables automatically generated for the job and user inserted via Questions in a strong encrypted AES format
Info

The default Incoming queue is located inside C:\ProgramData\Scanshare\Incoming\Workflow-ID.

Warning

The variable file is specifically linked to the Workflow for which it has been created for security reasons. If moved into a different Workflow it will not be parsed and generate a Bad Data error at the start of processing.

The left hand side menu shows the available settings sections. Settings are displayed according the selected section.

Scan

This section allows to customize the scanning settings used by this workflow when the scan job is started on any connected Brother device.
