METADATA DELIVERY
METADATA DELIVERY (DATA ENTRY)
When the application integration module is installed and an image file is generated for a scan send transmission,
metadata (data indicating the attributes of the image file and how it is to be processed) can be generated based on
pre-stored information and transmitted as a separate file. The metadata file is created in XML format. By linking the
metadata with applications such as document management software, a workflow application, or an encryption
server, a sophisticated document solution environment can be built.
Using the application integration module, information on a generated image file can be entered at the touch panel
and transmitted along with the image as an XML file.
