9Workflow Scanning
Workflow Scanning enables users to scan an original document, convert it to an electronic file, and 
distribute and archive the file in a variety of ways. The final destination of the electronic file depends 
on the template chosen by the user at the device's user interface. Workflow Scanning is an automated 
work management feature. It automates the processes of getting large volumes of hardcopy 
documents into suitable scanned image formats, stored, distributed or made accessible for further 
processing, as needed. When workflow is optimized for purpose, and IT infrastructure considerations 
are taken into account, substantial benefits can be achieved in efficiency and management
Workflow Scanning is set up and controlled by templates. A template is a file that stores scanning and 
routing preference for a given workflow. The template may reside on the device, or may be cached on 
the device from a pool of templates pulled from a remote server. 
The scanned file will be archived or published on a pre-determined network server called a File 
Repository, and then, with the help of server or desktop software:
• Routed to a user's PC desktop for viewing or editing.
• Integrated with a variety of popular document management and workflow applications.
• Sent to a network directory or filing location for later retrieval.
• Sent to an e-mail distribution list.
Workflow Scanning User Authentication
Authentication can be enabled to prevent unauthorized access to the Workflow Scanning feature. If 
Authentication is enabled, users will be prompted to enter a network user name and password, or a 
PIN, before they can access the Workflow Scanning feature. For a full description of the Authentication 
feature refer to the Authentication section of this guide. Authentication can be configured after 
Workflow Scanning has been installed.
Device Authentication
If using a FreeFlow SMARTsend server, a valid Windows account must be created on the FreeFlow 
SMARTsend Server for the device's authentication. The account allows each device to communicate 
with the server to exchange template information and other configuration data. For account creation 
instructions, refer to the FreeFlow SMARTsend Installation and Administration Guide.
Information Checklist
Before starting the procedure, ensure the following items are available or tasks have been performed:
• Ensure the device is fully functioning on the network.
• Ensure you have the Scanning Kit.
• Ensure that the TCP/IP and HTTP protocols are configured on the device and fully functional.

System Administrator Guide 202
This is required to access Internet Services to configure Workflow Scanning. The Internet Services 
function is accessed through the embedded HTTP server on the device and enables System 
Administrators to configure scan settings by using an Internet browser.
• If you require color or grayscale scanning, or scan to JPEG you will need the Color Scanning 
Enablement Kit.
The Kit can be purchased from your Xerox Sales Representative. Follow the instructions with the 
Color Scanning Enablement Kit to ensure the Kit is installed before you continue with the Network 
Scanning instructions.

Configure a File Repository
Scanning with the device is accomplished through user selection of templates on the device that route 
scanned jobs to network servers. After storage on the server, the files can be retrieved at any properly 
configured networked workstation. A dedicated file server is not required to receive scans. A dedicated 
server is required, however, for the installation and use of SMARTsend software to remotely manage 
the pool of templates (workflows), displayed locally to device users, if so desired. Scanning is 
configured on the device using one of the file transfer options below. 
•FTP (File Transfer Protocol): Requires an FTP server running on a server or a workstation.
•NetWare NCP (NetWare Core Protocol): Available for filing to a NetWare server.
•SMB (Server Message Block): Available for filing to an environment that supports the SMB 
protocol.

where POST requests and scanned data will be sent for processing by a CGI script. Note the IP 
address or host name.
Note:HTTP and HTTPS protocol both require server-side scripts to allow files to be transferred to 
your HTTP server from your device.
CGI (Common Gateway Interface) script: A program that is run on a web server, in response to 
input from a browser. The CGI script is the link between the server and a program running on the 
system, i.e a database.
• Download a sample script:

Configuring Validation Servers
The Validation Server’s link within Internet Services enables you to configure a Validation Server that 
will verify metadata. Metadata is additional information that can be entered when a user scans their 
documents at the device. The administrator creates metadata entries when they configure Document 
Management Fields within a Workflow Scanning - Default Template.
A Validation Server is a service or application that is used to validate the metadata entered by the user 
when they scan their documents.
The Validation Server feature provides a way to reduce inconsistencies or inaccuracies in the data 
entered by a user.
When the user scans a document at the device and enters metadata, if one or more of the metadata 
objects require validation, the device will send the metadata to the validation server. The validation 
server checks the data against the criteria that have been set up on the validation server. The 
validation server either accepts the data as valid, or returns an error message which is displayed on the 
device.
If the validation server returns a successful validation response, then the job will proceed. If the 
metadata in the template or the metadata entered at the local UI is invalid, then the job will be 
canceled and is not transferred to the network.
Providing these levels of validation will ensure that the data entered via the system user interface will 
meet the requirements for that workflow.
Information Checklist
Before starting the procedure, ensure the following items are available or tasks have been performed:
• Ensure the device is fully functioning on the network. TCP/IP and HTTP must be configured on the 
device.
• Ensure your validation server or application is installed on your network.
