Location: Your Computer

 

  

This article is specific to implementations using Updox Central.

 

You can configure most flatbed scanners or multi-function devices (printer, scanner, fax) to save scanned files to a specific location. By setting that save location to the Updox auto-upload folder scanned items are automatically uploaded into your Updox Workspace.

 

To integrate the scanner:

1.Log into Updox Central.

2.If Updox Central isn’t currently set up to auto-upload faxes:

Click the Files tab.

Check the box for Enable Fax Auto-Upload Folder

Select the location of an existing folder for Updox Central to monitor. (Note: must be a different folder than the one chosen for the Enable File Auto-Upload Folder.)

Click OK.

If you want to limit which file types can be uploaded, enter the file extension(s) in File types to upload field. Leaving the field blank enables all file types.

3.If Updox Central is already set up to auto-upload faxes, look up the folder location:

a.Click the Files tab.

b.Note the location specified for Enable Fax Auto-Upload Folder.

4.Exit Updox Central.

5.Refer to your scanner software documentation for the steps to set the save location to the folder location defined above.
