Scan Delivery

Scan Delivery^*1 is designed to automatically scan paper documents and sort them into transfer destinations. It saves time by eliminating manual processes for routine tasks and ensures accurate and reliable filing.

Register a Document Flow of a Routine Task and Invoke It with a Press of a Button

You can register various settings in advance, such as the document reading method, image processing, output format, and save destination, and then call them up with the push of a button when scanning.

Administrators can pre-register document scanning methods and file saving methods for routine tasks in the MFP. Users simply place the document on the MFP and press the button corresponding to the document type, and the process from digitizing paper documents to saving is automated.

The entire process from scanning to saving can be done automatically, or the user can check and operate the process as the scan is being performed, allowing users to set up a workflow that suits the contents of the documents and the environment.
The use of Scan Delivery allows you to automate tedious processes, making scanning more efficient and ensuring consistent quality for the users.

Register document flows for each task

Information that sets the document flow, such as the scanning method and saving method, is called "document type" information. Document type information can be grouped and registered according to the type and content of the task. The task information used for grouping is called "task type" information.

In Scan Delivery, you can set up to eight task types. You can also set up to ten document types for each task types.

Splitting, saving and automatically sorting documents

You can choose to save your document in the following formats:

• PDF
• DocuWorks Document
• TIFF (Multi-Pages per File)

You can also scan multiple documents at once and save them separated by blank pages, QR codes, and barcodes. You can also automatically sort scanned documents by task type, document type, date, and user name. The destination folder name and file name can be set by combining these document attributes with any character string.

Sharing a Document Using Working Folder on the go

You can specify the destination to save the document in one of the following locations:

• FTP server
• Shared folder on Windows or Mac (SMB Transfer)
• Working Folder^*2

• *1: A paid application "Scan Delivery" is required.
• *2: A cloud-based service provided by FUJIFILM Business Innovation. To use Working Folder, contract is additionally necessary.

When documents are saved in DocuWorks or PDF format, the following three attributes can be added to documents. These attributes are referred to as "regular attribute".

• [Service Type]: the service type selected at the scanning.
• [Document Type]: the document type selected at the scanning.
• [User]: the name of the user who scanned documents.

You can also add any attribute and its value to the document. These attributes are called "extended attributes". Extended attributes can be set in the document type information, and can also be entered by the user when scanning. Up to six extended attributes can be set.

When Saving Documents in DocuWorks Format

Values of extended attributes and regular attributes are saved as custom properties in scanned documents. The saved values can be used for searching. With the attribute view feature of DocuWorks 8 / DocuWorks 9, the feature allows the files that meet the conditions to be sorted out and displayed and helps you to manage scanned documents.

When Saving Documents in PDF Format

Values of extended attributes and regular attributes are saved as custom properties (in the custom attribute format) in scanned documents as well as a single-line string in [Keywords] on the [Description] tab of Document Properties. The saved attribute values can be used for searching files.

Editing and Using Document Attributes

With DocuWorks Document Property Entry 2^*1 you can easily edit^*2 the attributes given to the documents. Also, you can easily search^*2 for these documents by using attributes, output the search result into a CSV file, or replace all attributes at a time.

• *1: DocuWorks Document Property Entry 2 is an optional software of DocuWorks 9.1. For details, refer to the product information page for DocuWorks 9.1.
• *2: You can also use DocuWorks for editing the attribute of a single file or simple searching.

When a QR code or barcode is attached to the header sheet or main text of the document, Scan Delivery reads and processes information from the QR code or barcode.

Using a Special QR Code for Scan Delivery for Automatic Settings

You can set the following for special QR codes for Scan Delivery.

• Folder name and rules
• File name rules
• Extended attributes (only when saving in DocuWorks or PDF format. Up to six attributes)

By attaching and scanning the QR code with the contents, you can automatically set information peculiar to documents and execute scan processing with the minimum operation.

Using a General QR Code or Barcode

QR codes or barcodes containing arbitrary text string can be attached to documents and information embedded in it can be used. The text string read from the QR code or barcode can be used for the naming rules for storage location folder or saved in a DocuWorks or PDF document as an extended attribute, according to the document type setting. A part of the text string read from the QR code or barcode can also be extracted.

• Note: Supported QR code text strings are only Japanese and English.

This function automatically extracts specific document information from standard forms such as estimates and invoices. By using this function, you can sort documents and set file names using the information contained in the documents, eliminating the need to check the contents of the files and change the file names later for sorting purposes.

• * "Searchable PDF kit" or "Advanced Scan Kit" is required to use Auto Text Extraction feature.

Extracting Attributes from a Template

Extracts attributes from a template (repetitive document). Text extracted automatically can be used for file names of scanned documents or folder names of save destinations.

The following templates are supported.

• Invoice
• Quote

The specific conditions such as "supplier/client name", "creation date", "management number", and "due date" in the scanned document are automatically extracted.

Extract characters within the area specified by the marker pen

If you have a standard form other than an estimate or invoice, you can extract text within the specified area. The automatically extracted text can be used for the file name of the scanned document or the name of the folder where it is saved.

Prepare a black and white document and circle any area you want with a colour marker (green is recommended). When you scan the document, the area circled with the colour marker will be set as the scanning area.
