Abstract
A network scan apparatus includes: a scanner including a scanning unit to scan a document and generate an image file based on the scanned document, a transmitting unit to transmit the image file, and an output selection unit to select whether to output scan file information; an output device, connected to the scanner, via a network, to output the scan file information according to whether the scan file information is selected to be output after a scanning operation; and a host computer connected to the scanner and the output device via the network, to collect the scan file information transmitted from the scanner, and transmit the scan file information to the output device.
Claims23
A network scan method of scanning a document, the method comprising:
- performing a scanning operation by scanning a document with a scanner to generate a scanned image file based on the scanned document, and transmitting the scanned image file to an object host computer connected to the scanner through a network;
- requesting, by the scanner, scan file information comprising properties of the scanned image file stored on the object host computer to be output by one of a plurality of output devices connected to the scanner through the network, the scan file information enabling confirmation of results of the scanning operation;
- receiving a selection signal for one of the plurality of output devices to output the scan file information;
- transmitting the scan file information from the object host computer to the selected output device;
- and
- outputting the transmitted scan file information through the output device,
- wherein the plurality of output devices comprise at least one of a printer connected to the scanner and a display of the printer, to output the scan file information, and
- the scan file information comprises at least one of a number of scanned document pages, a size of the scanned image file, a location of the scanned image file, a resolution of the scanned image file, a linked program to execute the scanned image file, and a thumbnail of the scanned image file.
A scanning apparatus, comprising:
- a scanner to connect to an object host computer via a network, to perform a scanning operation by scanning a document to generate a scanned image file based on the scanned document and transmitting the scanned image file to the object host computer, and to enable a user to selectively request scan file information comprising properties of the scanned image file stored on the object host computer, and confirm results of the scanning operation based on the requested scan file information;
- and
- a plurality of output devices connected to the scanner through the network to output the scan file information according to whether the scan file information is selected to be output to one of the plurality of output devices,
- wherein the scan file information comprises at least one of a number of scanned document pages, a size of the scanned image file, a location of the scanned image file, a resolution of the scanned image file, a linked program to execute the scanned image file, and a thumbnail of the scanned image file.
A method of scanning a document with a scanner connected to a network, comprising:
- performing a scanning operation by scanning a document to generate a scanned image file based on the scanned document, and transmitting the scanned image file to an object host computer via the network;
- requesting, by the scanner, scan file information comprising properties of the scanned image file stored on the object host computer, the scan file information enabling confirmation of results of the scanning operation;
- receiving a selection signal for one of a plurality of output devices to output the scan file information;
- and
- outputting the scan file information transmitted from the object host computer through the selected output device,
- wherein the scan file information comprises at least one of a number of scanned document pages, a size of the scanned image file, a location of the scanned image file, a resolution of the scanned image file, a linked program to execute the scanned image file, and a thumbnail of the scanned image file.
