NOTES:

  • 1 When the login language is Japanese, the output file format is the same as the input file format.
  • 2 A section is a file of a document scanned with a device, and it contains one or more pages. For example, when a five-page document is scanned in single-page TIFF file format, it is delivered in five one-page sections. Similarly, when a five-page document is scanned in multiple-page TIFF file format, it is delivered in one five-page section. In addition, when the process connector is used to convert multiple file formats, an individual section is created for each file format.
  • 3 Purchase of a license and activation are required to use this process connector. For details about activation, refer refer to the Streamline NX Installation Guide.

For details about metadata, refer to Configure Metadata Settings.
