Scanning images remotely
The Datacap Web Client 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, Datacap processes the batch in the same manner that it processes any other job.
About this task
Attention: The Datacap Web Client remote scanning clients
support TWAIN scanners only.
Datacap 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 Datacap Web Client initially stores the image files locally, it creates the runtime batch file in the server batch folder. Datacap Web Client 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 Datacap 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.
