Using the HC5500 Network Scan Function
Introduction
The Riso HC5500 Network Scan function enables the user to convert
hardcopy into electronic data in a choice of fi le formats:
(Portable Document Format)
This is a fi le format introduced by Adobe Corporation to allow electronic information to
be transferred between various types of computers. In order to view and print a PDF fi le you
will fi rst need to have installed Adobe PDF Reader software on your computer, this is freely
available on the internet.
JPEG
The JPEG is a graphic format specifi cally developed for storing photographic images.
It has also become a standard format for storing images in digital cameras and displaying
photographic images on web pages. JPEG fi les sizes are normally signifi cantly smaller than
those saved as TIFF due to the fact that they can be compressed.
TIFF
TIFF fi le formats are used for storing very large, high quality images. TIFF is the
favoured image format for many graphic applications including image manipulation programs
and desktop publishing software.
When using the Network Scan function the scanner is used to scan the
image in the format chosen with the resulting fi le stored on the HC5500’s RIP.
The
stored
fi les can then be access from and downloaded to any
computer on the same network for further integration into documents, archive
storage and email etc.
