Easy Scan Destinations

On the Destinations tab of the Easy Scan action node properties, you can define where the scanned file is sent.

To add a new destination, click +Add. The Destination panel opens where you can set the target destination.

Depending on the selected destination type, the panel contains the General, Parameters and Advanced sections.

Information for end users on completing connections to their personalized Easy Scan destinations is available here.

General section

  • Type - Select the destination type from the drop-down. Available options: Cloud storage, Custom destination, Email, FTP, Fax Server, Folder, Secured link, User’s email, User’s storage.

  • Filename Template - Here you can create the template of the scanned file name. The text of the template can be combined with MyQ parameters to provide additional information about the scanned file. The following parameters are available: %username%, %fullname%, %timestamp%, %date%, %time%, %originalSubject%, %ipaddress%, %scanId%, %usernotes%, %printerName%, %location%, %serialNumber%, %assetNo%, %printerContact%, %counter%.

  • Attach metadata file - If this option is selected, MyQ sends the scanned file with an XML file attachment, containing the scanned file's metadata.

Parameters section

This section depends on the selected destination type. The available fields differ for each type. Some types share parameters, and sometimes use unique parameters. Custom parameters can also be created, in the Parameters tab.

When setting up a cloud storage destination there is an additional option to allow users to Browse folders. If the type of cloud storage selected is External storage API, you can also enable or disable the option to Delete files.
