Description

When integrated with PaperVision Tools, Epson WorkForce Pro scanners can be configured to scan directly to PaperVision Enterprise or to ImageSilo with the touch of a button. Note that the following steps were created using an Epson WorkForce Pro GT-S80 scanner. Depending on the particular model, scanner options may vary. Only scanner models that include the Epson Event Manager utility can use this functionality.


Summary

Before configuring the scanner, verify that the latest version of PaperVision Tools is installed as well as the latest Epson Event Manager utility from Epson (http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/jsp/index.do).

  4. Click the New button to create a new Scan Job.
  5. Under Scan Settings, choose the document image settings appropriate for your needs.
  6. Under Save Settings, choose a folder where the image file will be placed after scanning.TIP: This Folder location is a temporary location used to store the scanned documents before they are uploaded to PaperVision Enterprise or ImageSilo, therefore the folder name or location is not important.
  7. Choose the appropriate File Format (JPEG, BMP, PDF, TIFF, or Multi-TIFF) and using the Save Settings button, configure the settings for the selected image format.

  18. Enter your user name and password information at the PaperVision Explorer Tool: Login screen, and then click OK to continue.TIP: If you will be logging in using the same user name and password each time you scan, select the Save my user name and password option to automatically bypass this screen.
