Workflow Scanning allows you to scan an original document, distribute, and archive the scanned image file. The Workflow Scanning feature simplifies the task of scanning many multi-page documents and saving the scanned image files in one or more file locations.

You can create workflows or edit the default workflow to specify how and where scanned images are stored or sent. Workflows can reside on the printer or in a pool of workflows that are stored on a remote server. When you configure the default workflow, all subsequent workflows inherit the settings from the default workflow.

To configure Workflow Scanning general settings:

  1. Login as Administrator at the Embedded Web Server (EWS). For additional information, click on Access and Login or Logout as System Administrator at the Control Panel or Embedded Web Server (EWS).

  2. In the Embedded Web Server, click Properties > Apps.

  3. Click Workflow Scanning > General Settings.

  4. For Confirmation Sheet, select when you want a confirmation sheet to print.

    • Errors Only: This option instructs the printer to print a confirmation sheet only when a workflow scanning job generates an error.

    • On: This option instructs the printer to print a confirmation sheet.

    • Off: This option instructs the printer not to print a confirmation sheet. You can find status about a job in the job log.  

      Note: To see the job log, at the control panel touch screen, touch Jobs > Completed Job Queue.

  5. To allow users to add file destinations to workflows manually, for Allow Manual Entry of File Destinations, select Enabled.

  6. To configure the list of workflows contained in a network workflow pool repository to refresh automatically, for Enable Automatic Refresh, select Enabled. The list of workflows appears on the control panel.

  7. To change the time that workflows update, for Daily Start time, enter the hour and minute, then select AM or PM.

  8. To update the workflow list immediately, click Refresh Workflow List Now.

  9. To configure the user name to appear in the job log, for Optional Information, select User Name.  If you added Document Management Fields to a workflow, the job log is stored with scanned image files.

  10. Click Apply.

  11. Logout as Administrator at the EWS.
