1.About ScanFront Service
ScanFront Service is software that supplements the network functions of the ScanFront. To use this software, install it on a computer 
connected to the same network as the ScanFront. (The computer on which ScanFront Service is installed will be herein referred to 
as the “ScanFront Service Server”.)
By configuring a ScanFront Service Server, you can send 
scanned images to locations on the network, such as the 
following, where direct transfer from the ScanFront is 
disabled.
●Destinations (folders on computers, printers, etc.) 
located on a different network segment
●Printers on the network
●Shared folders on a computer that is specified by IP 
address
●Certain NAS (network-attached storage)
Scanned images from the ScanFront are sent via the 
ScanFront Service Server to the user specified destination.
Up to 100 ScanFront scanners can be connected to a single 
ScanFront Service Server. However, only up to 15 ScanFront 
scanners can communicate with the ScanFront Service Server 
at any one time.
