Scanning and Saving to Therefore™

The available settings for scanning and saving to Therefore™ depend on the device's capabilities.

Therefore™ specific settings on the MFP's panel include:

Reset Button
The reset button returns the Therefore™ MFP application to the scan dialog, and resets all scanner settings.

Star Button
On the Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE devices hold down the * button for a few seconds to display an about box for the Therefore™ MFP application.

ID Button
If uniFLOW/Universal Login Manager is installed the Logout button will not be visible on the touch screen display, and instead the ID button can be used to logout.

Default scan settings can be set in the Therefore™ Solution Designer on a per device basis or system wide for all devices. A default category can be set in the Therefore™ Solution Designer on a per device basis or system wide for all devices. If a default category is set the category panel will be skipped. All scans will be saved into the predefined category.

The basic steps for scanning and saving to Therefore™ are as follows:

  1. The first step is to log in on the MFP device using your username and password and to choose the correct domain from the drop-down list.

    The domain option is not available if the computer with the server is not in the domain. Alternatively the domain info can be entered before the user name (e.g., moyaware\john smith), but in this case the drop-down box must be left blank).

    If either uniFLOW/Universal Login Manager or a default account are configured the login screen is replaced with a splash screen.

  2. The scanning dialog will be displayed, and if necessary, the scan settings can be adjusted using the MFP panel. To begin scanning, press the green start button on the screen or the physical start button on the MFP's panel. Once the document has been scanned, it will appear as a preview in the left-pane. Unwanted pages can be deleted using the Delete button, and further pages can be scanned using the green start button. When finished press Next.

  3. The Therefore™ category can now be chosen from the displayed list (only categories for which the user has permission will be listed). Press Next once the selection has been made.

  4. The index fields for the chosen category will be displayed and can be filled out. Click Next once finished. The index data can be entered using the software or hardware keyboards.
