For each logged on user, only one of these options can be used at a time. When you have
successfully connected to either a certified scanner or Kofax Document Scan Server, buttons for

Web site (www.kofax.com).
Setting Up to Scan with a Certified Scanner
To successfully scan with a certified scanner connected to a client workstation, the following
criteria must be met:
„
Internet Explorer 6.0 or 7.0 on the Client Workstation
Make sure Internet Explorer 6.0 or 7.0 is available on the client workstation and is used to
log on to the Web Client.
The setup for and scanning with a connected scanner is not supported with Mozilla
Firefox, which will not be supported in the versions of Kofax Front-Office Server past 2.7.
„
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 on the Client Workstation
If the client workstation is using Windows XP, make sure Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 is
installed.
If the client workstation is using Windows Vista, Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 is not
required.
Note If you have a later version of Microsoft .NET Framework, use the instructions
presented later in this section as described for Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.
„
Scanner Setup on the Client Workstation
Connect a certified scanner to the client workstation. Make sure VRS 4.2 or the
manufacturer’s TWAIN driver is installed on the client workstation. For more information,
see Setting Up the Scanner .
„
Security Policy for Your Enterprise (or the Client Workstation)
Make sure the appropriate security policy is set up for your enterprise. For more
information, see Setting Up the Appropriate Security Policy for an Enterprise .
As an alternative, you can also set up the security policy for an individual client
workstation. For instructions, see Setting Up the Appropriate Security Policy on a Client
Workstation . However, it is recommended that you set up the security policy for your
enterprise.
„
WebScan Role for the Applicable User
„
Assign the role WebScan to each applicable user, including the administrator, in the
Administration Console. This assignment is required to enable a user and the
administrator to use WebScan. (The administrator role does not automatically enable
use of WebScan for the administrator.) For more information about defining and
assigning roles, see the the Administration Console Help.
„
Optionally, modify the WebScan role to assign permission to change the scanner
settings when using WebScan.
