ListBox OnSelect Callback is now works properly when selecting an already selected item. Auto Color Detection can now be selected. Canon ScanFront Web Administration When you open the Web administration page in Internet Explorer on a Windows Server 2008 system, there may be some flickering. The solution is to close the browser window, open the Administration console, close the Administration console, and then open the browser again. General scanning issues ShareScan does not support the 600 dots per inch (dpi) setting with color and grayscale scanning when Mixed Originals is the paper size. Settings will automatically revert to the closest supported combination right before scanning. ShareScan does not support the 600 dpi setting with color and double-sided scanning when Legal and A4 are the paper sizes. Settings will automatically revert to the closest supported combination right before scanning

9 Client Scanned documents include a line at the bottom of the page. This is a known ScanFront device issue. Nuance recommends that you use the Search while typing (auto-completion) option when entering user names for authentication or when specifying recipients. To use this option, select the user name from the list that appears after you enter one or more characters. If the Search while typing option is not enabled in the Administration console, type one or more characters, press the Search button, and then select the user name from the list. If you do not follow this recommendation, the Client may return an error indicating that the user name or ID is invalid or missing. If the Search while typing option (auto-completion) stops functioning within a field, navigate to another field on the screen (using the Tab key or by touching the field) and then navigate back to the field where the option stopped functioning. When you add user names to an existing list, add the names to the end of the list to prevent this problem from occurring. You may occasionally have to press a Client button more than once on the touch screen. Keyboards Nuance does not recommend that you use a hard keyboard and a soft keyboard simultaneously on a device. The product was not designed to support this type of use. Do not use the hard keyboard when you are working in a soft keyboard screen on a device. ShareScan does not automatically put the cursor in an input field. Therefore, to enter data in a field, to select options, or to navigate among fields, you must select the field using a mouse or the touch panel. When you use the soft keyboard, some fields will not scroll automatically as you enter data in them. This occurs when you use the recipient and notes fields in the mail connectors. To see all the text, you may need to use the scroll bars. Status message updates on forms can cause user to lose keystrokes. Optimal performance is not guaranteed when using the hard keyboard. Custom ports If a custom port is specified when the device is added to the Manager, the administrator has to modify the C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\conf\server.xml file, change the default port number, and then restart Tomcat. Fingerprint scanner In order to use fingerprint authentication, you must enable and configure Identification Services and Session Logon in the Administration Console. Whenever you modify Activity Tracking for a device, from the Devices node in the Administration Console, you must restart the Services Manager. When you are using the fingerprint scanner, you must set the Session Logon Search On field to Account Name. When you are using the fingerprint scanner, ShareScan does not support the ID Services Encryption option

10 To make sure that the fingerprint scanner recognizes a fingerprint, you move your finger slowly over it. Issues fixed in Service Pack 1 Server-side The Device Calibration now supports all clients. The ecopy Cost Recovery Emulator no longer crashes when viewing the Emulator XML file. Admin Console Device or connector profile selections no longer become corrupted randomly. Resource usage of the Tracing is now optimized. Modifying a connector profile no longer causes the other profiles assigned to a device group to vanish.

11 Connectors Localized strings are now displayed fully on the connector admin UIs. Quick Connect The index file format no longer causes issues.

Images are no longer cropped in the Express Wizard of the connector. Cost Recovery Data Publishing is now fully supported. Exchange connectors Exchange profiles are no longer lost when installing SP1. Configuring MAPI/MAPI protocol for Exchange Mail and Fax connectors To configure MAPI/MAPI protocol for Exchange connectors, the service account (the Domain/Username/Password combination) is expecting to have a configured default Outlook profile. Otherwise you cannot configure the connector due to an error message in the Administration Console. To create an Outlook profile, perform the following configuration steps. 1. Log on to the ShareScan server using credentials of the service account intended for using with the Exchange connectors 2. Run Outlook and create the default profile of the logged on user (perform the regular tasks Outlook does at the first launch for the logged on user account) 3. Close Outlook and log off the service account. The service account is now ready, and can be used for configuring the connectors. 4. Check if you need to reconfigure your existing profiles using MAPI protocol. 5. This change does not effect LDAP/MAPI configurations. Exchange 2010 CAS support for MAPI protocol To support Exchange 2010 environments that have a dedicated Client Access Server (CAS) separate from the Mailbox Server, a feature was introduced to allow administrators to specify the name of the CAS. The relevant property value can be specified in the connector configuration xml o o for Exchang connector it is [COMMON_ APPDATA]\Nuance\ShareScan\Connectors\Exchang \Data\Exchang Store.xml for ExchangeFax connector it is [COMMON_ APPDATA]\Nuance\ShareScan\Connectors\ExchangeFax\Data\ExchangeFaxStore.xml An example of applying the property value: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <ConnectorNode>
