SCANNING BACKGROUND
In just a few years, network scanning has changed from
being a “luxury” function to one that is virtually essential.
In just a few years, network scanning has changed from
being a “luxury” function to one that is virtually essential.
Indeed, today, nearly all MFPs provide standard or optional
network scanning, including scan-to-e-mail. This makes
document-feeder design even more critical, with users
looking for document feeders with higher feeding speeds,
low–resolution capabilities, as well as for MFPs with more
versatile scanning, and color-scanning capability.

with central corporate address book located on LDAP or
Microsoft Windows NT network servers is the current de

standard. The ability to force-populate outgoing e-
mail from the MFP with sender information through an
enforced login process is also required (i.e., senders must
enter their network password before they can use the
MFP’s scan-to-e-mail).

Destinations
Most MFPs’ network-scanning capabilities include the
ability to scan-and-send to e-mail addresses, SMB
destinations (Windows desktop locations), FTP (File
Transfer Protocol) sites, and Internet fax destinations. In
some instances, the scanned document goes directly to
the MFP’s hard drive, and an e-mail is sent to the recipient
with a URL link. By navigating to the URL link, the
recipient can quickly access the scanned file from the
device’s hard drive. Also of note is that a growing number
of devices are beginning to include external media ports to
allow users to scan and send documents to USB flash
memory devices and digital-camera SD chips. We expect
this to become more common over the next year.

Security
Security is another critical aspect of scanning. Several
MFPs now include the ability to send scanned messages
using encrypted PFD or other secure-transfer formats.
This is an important capability in industries and sectors
where data must be kept secure and confidential. Most
devices also support network authentication, so that users
must log into their device (usually with their network
password) before they scan.

Integration with Third-Party Applications
The big buzz in the office digital-imaging industry is the
move toward open architecture, with the MFP’s firmware
backbone based on an industry standard such as Java or
.NET rather than on a proprietary system.

WHAT WE LIKED
• Images can be scanned, printed and faxed directly to
the device’s hard drive and stored in e-Filling boxes.
Scanned images stored in the e-Filling boxes can then
be printed at any time (print-on-demand) e-mailed, sent
via fax, sent via Internet fax, routed to a computer
workstation, an FTP or SMB server, etc.

• Support for several file formats that include TIFF
Multi/Single Page, PDF Multi/Single Page, Secure
PDF, Slim PDF, JPEG, and XPS Multi/Single Page.
Support for additional formats can be expanded up to
17 file formats with e-B
PDF, Slim PDF, JPEG, and XPS Multi/Single Page.

• Once authenticated with the device, users can easily
automate routine scan-and-distribute workflows by
recalling a set of preferred scan settings saved as a
scan template right from the control panel.

WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE
• Overall, BERTL was very satisfied with the e-
STUDIO3520c’s network-scanning capabilities.
