This chapter contains a brief description of the actions that can be carried out via the web-based ROWE Scan Manager.
ROWE Scan Manager
Introduction
The ROWE Scan Manager is the web-based platform on which the standard software ROWE View and the optional software ROWE EDIT are arranged. In addition, the ROWE San Manager features administrative and service-relevant applications.
System prerequisites
Since the ROWE Scan Manger is a web-based application, you would need the following:
1. Requirement on the network infrastructure
TCP/IP network to connect the ROWE system to the workstation of the end-user.
Since this is a web-based application and the operating speed of the application is decisively depending on network speed, we recommend a minimum network speed of 100 Mbit/s.
2. Requirements on the user browser software
Prerequisite for full functionally of the application are browser and Java runtime from following versions:
Internet Explorer from version 6 or higher Netscape Navigator from version 7 or higher Mozilla from version 1.2 or higher
Java runtime environment from version 1.4.2 or higher 3. Requirements on the monitor of the end-user workstation
We recommend a minimum monitor size of 17 inch and 1024 x 768 pixel resolution for optimum use of the ROWE Scan Manager.
Starting the ROWE Scan Manager
Starting the ROWE Scan Manager, proceed as follows:
1. Start the browser on a workstation that is connected to the ROWE system via the network. On the address line, enter the IP address or the host name of the ROWE device. The following page will open:
[170]ROWE Print Manager /ROWE Scan Manager on ROWE RCS
ROWE View
Using the ROWE View application, you may scan files via the network and display them instantly. Starting an application, proceed as follows:
1. Start the browser on a workstation that is connected to the ROWE system via the network. On the address line, enter the IP address or the host name of the ROWE device. The following page will open:
