Hardware configuration guidelines
To help you gauge hardware requirements, here are three typical usage scenarios and the hardware
requirements for each scenario:
For the most effective throughput, consider the following information:
■ While a fast IDE drive (7200 RPM) is acceptable, a fast SCSI drive (15,000 RPM) improves
throughput. NTFS is the required drive format.
■ Desktop or workstation P4 or Xeon class machines with more memory are more effective than
traditional server-class machines, such as Intel Pentium III class machines with high I/O
throughput.
Scenario type Description Hardware requirements
General office
use A typical office environment where
multiple multifunction peripherals
(MFPs) support a combination of
printing, copying, and scanning. Equivalent to an Intel® Pentium® 4
(P4) 2.4 GHz machine with Hyper-
Threading enabled and with 1 GB of
RAM (recommended). The minimum
RAM requirement is 512 MB.
Light production
scanning An environment where multiple
devices scan simultaneously for
continuous periods with occasional
creation of searchable text. Requires
CPU-intensive OCR processing by the
eCopy ShareScan OP Services Manager. Dual processor P4 3.2 GHz machines
with Hyper-Threading enabled and
with at least 1 GB of RAM.
Heavy
production
scanning Same as light production scanning
except that searchable text is created
for all scanned pages. Includes file
batching. Dual processor Xeon machines with at
least 1 GB of RAM.
