How do I scan and save documents?

1.The first step is to log in 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).

Note

uniFLOW/Universal Login Manager: If the uniFLOW/Universal Login Manager is installed, then login is via uniFLOW/Universal Login Manager, and logging into the MFP Application is not necessary. Instead a splash screen will be opened from which the application can be started.

Default account: a default account can be set in the Thereforeā„¢ Solution Designer on a per device basis or system wide for all devices. If the application is in default account mode no login screen will be displayed but a splash screen. The default account will be used for logging into Thereforeā„¢.

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.
