Scan to PC Desktop: Image Retriever
5.2 for Xerox WorkCentre C2424
Scan to PC Desktop includes Image Retriever, which is designed
to monitor a specified folder on a networked file server or local
drive for incoming scanned images. The Professional Edition of
the program can also monitor e-mail inboxes for attachments.
Image Retriever converts and transfers files from the watched
folder and/or e-mail inbox into the PaperPort desktop.
Monitoring an e-mail inbox is only available in the Professional Edition.
After you install the Scan to PC Desktop family of software
components, including Image Retriever, you must restart your
computer. When you do, Image Retriever runs as an icon in the
system tray on the Windows task bar:
Depending on which program edition you use, the icon may have
one or two light indicators in the bottom. They represent the
status of e-mail polling and folder watching by means of different
colors. Since e-mail polling is only available in the Professional
Edition of Image Retriever, the corresponding (left) LED will not
be displayed in the Special Edition of the program. For details,
see: Image Retriever Status Display.
Right-click on the Image Retriever icon in the Windows system
tray to display the Image Retriever menu with six commands:

Interval for checking
To set how often the watched folder or monitored inbox will be
checked, select a setting from the “Interval for checking” list box.
The following choices are available from the list box:
1, 2, 5, 10, or 30 seconds
1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 30, or 60 minutes
In addition to the above values, you could also select “Never“. In
this case Image Retriever will continue running but watching is
suspended.
One suggestion is to set the watch interval at about half the time it
takes you to walk from the device’s location in your company to
your office.
If it takes you 60 seconds to walk this distance, set the interval to
30 seconds. This way the document that you scanned can be
ready and waiting for you on your PaperPort desktop!
Use Defaults Button

Use Defaults button. This will restore the default watch interval
(30 seconds) and set the folder specified during program install as
the monitored one.
Get Now Button
Click the Get Now button if you wish to scan the folder or inbox of
your choice immediately. Image Retriever does the monitoring on
whichever component is checked. That is, if “Watch Document
Repository Folder” is checked, Image Retriever will immediately
scan the selected folder; whereas if “Watch for scanned files in
your e-mail inbox” is checked, your Microsoft Outlook or Lotus
Notes inbox will be polled for new PDF or TIFF e-mail
attachments generated by a Xerox device.
Monitoring an e-mail inbox is only available in the Professional Edition.

and finally the folder monitoring status.

only one LED (folder monitoring status).
Please note that Image Retriever will continue running even if an
error persists (e.g. connection is lost with a folder or e-mail inbox).
In this case the corresponding light indicator remains red until the
error is resolved. Then it switches to the color corresponding to
the current Image Retriever settings.
Errors occurring during configuring the program through the
“Image Retriever Settings” dialog are always reported by error
messages.
