About

Scan job created by MFP is sent via SMTP to SafeQ, where it is processed. In order to identify the originating user (and because MFP cannot provide the user identification data), SafeQ looks up its database or cache to discover the user who was logged in to the particular terminal or device based on the information attached to the scan job (time is parsed from the file name).

If not such user is found, the scan job is ignored and not delivered to any user.

SMTP settings

To enable or disable SMTP server check the"SMTP" value from scanServerType property on System -> System settings page.

Specific port for SMTP server: MailServer-serverPort.

Format of parsed data (scan job file name format)

In order to support this method of Scan job delivery, each scan job file name must contain time and date when user created the scan job on the device (not the time when the device sends the file through SMTP!).

The time and date included in the file name must be in one of the following formats:

a) YYYYMMDDHHmmss 

e.g. 20130401143358 (that means 2013-04-01 14:33:58)

[1-2][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-1][0-9][0-3][0-9][0-2][0-9][0-5][0-9][0-5][0-9]

b) YYMMDDHHmmss

e.g. 130401143358 (that means 13-04-01, 14:33:58)

[0-9][0-9][0-1][0-9][0-3][0-9][0-2][0-9][0-5][0-9][0-5][0-9]

In both cases 24-hour time format must be used and the seconds must be included.

Supported devices

Scan to SMTP is supported only with devices that set file names of scan jobs with date and time included in format mentioned above.
