Local Scanner

Hi everybody

Can any body guide me if SSGD supports Local scanners like it supports local printers from client machine ?

Or

Can we scan images from local client machine and save it on Application servers using SSGD?

Regards

Thanks in advance.

SGD does not support local scanners. Print jobs are sent to SGD from the application server to the SGD machine which then queus the jobs to the right client.

A locally scanned document can best be saved locally and then picked up using Client Drive Mapping from the application server. You can offcourse automate this process, writing a script on the application server checking the contents of a mapped client drive etc.

Your solution is good . But I am unable to undersatnd how will I Access the Clent drive from the Application server.

As far as my knowledge client can access their Local drives. But I am not sure How Application server will fetch the client Local drives?

Thanks in advance

You could run the script in the users application session. Just check or the Client Drive is mapped yet and then check the directory from which you do a potential transfer.

Another way would be to use sftp (putty for example) or something to upload to the SGD server from the scanning client. A second process would then be able to automaticly download the scanned documents from the SGD machine.
