IBM Datacap, Version 8.1            

Scanning images remotely

The Taskmaster Web remote scanning client (scancl.aspx) and the related upload client (uplbfcl.aspx) allow operators to scan and upload batches from remote web clients. When the remote batch is queued on the server, Taskmaster processes the batch in the same manner that it processes any other job.

Attention: The Taskmaster Web remote scanning clients support TWAIN scanners only.
Taskmaster supports two remote scanning options:
  • Scan the images from the web client directly into the application batch folder. This option requires that you share the batch folder and give write permission to all client machines.
  • Scan the images to a local folder on the web client and then upload them to the application batch folder. Although Taskmaster Web initially stores the image files locally, it creates the runtime batch file in the server batch folder. Taskmaster Web can create the file without requiring you to enable sharing on the batch folder.

You specify which option to use in the task setup dialog in the Taskmaster Web client, as described in Configuring the remote scanning client. You configure the remote scan task and the upload task later in the Creating a remote scan task and Configuring the Upload task topics.
