Using the bEST Connector for Konica Minolta MFP, users scan
and transmit faxes by following this basic process:

1. The user enters fax transmission information on the Konica

Minolta MFP and scans the document. The Konica Minolta
MFP saves the document as an image file, creates an
associated job file and then saves the files in the repository
folder on the network.

2. EDC picks up the files from the repository, converts the image

file to a file format appropriate for use by the RightFax server,
and then places it in the RightFax send queue for transmission.

3. The RightFax server transmits the file as a fax or email

message to the destination specified by the user.

Overview of the bEST Connector for Konica
Minolta MFP

The OpenText RightFax bEST Connector for Konica Minolta MFP
is a two-way connector that provides bi-directional communication
between the RightFax server and a Konica Minolta Multifunction
device (MFP). Users can scan documents on the Konica Minolta
MFP and transmit them as fax or email messages through the
RightFax server. They can use personal RightFax Phonebooks,
scan and send documents, and use custom cover sheets and
billing codes.

The bEST Connector for Konica Minolta MFP connects the
RightFax server and Konica Minolta MFPs by using a software
module called the External Document Connector (EDC).

The EDC monitors folders on your network called “repositories” for
Konica Minolta documents to process and transmit. All Konica
Minolta MFPs that will submit fax jobs to the RightFax server must
be configured to store scanned documents in the same network
folder that EDC will use as a repository. See your Konica Minolta
documentation for instructions on setting this folder location.
