CGI Scripts

A CGI (Common Gateway Interface) script is a program on a Web server that is executed
when the server receives a request from a browser. A CGI script is required to allow files
to be transferred to your HTTP server from your printer.

When a document is scanned, the printer logs into the Web server, sends a POST request
along with the scanned file, then logs out. The CGI script handles the remaining details
of file transfer.
