CloudScan : A straightforward piece of software which offers a practical solution to scanning documents across a network using just one device
Scanning a document in the office generally means using the same device that is connected to that one computer which sometimes can prove to be a bit of a bother. A good solution to this problem is being able to share the scanner’s functionality across a network and to make things even better, why not avoid installing drivers and other required software altogether.If that’s the case, then an app like CloudScan can make your day. It’s a software solution that allows you to use a network scanner from your browser without over-complicating things with settings and such.
Scan documents fast and easy
Apart from installing the SharedScanner server component on the computer that is connected to the scanner, there are no other special requirements that need to be met before using the application and consequently the device.The great thing about this is that you don't even have to worry about installing any drivers and even if you have an outdated browser, it’s still going to work. This feature alone makes CloudScan a very practical solution for offices that have workstations running on different versions of Windows and configurations.
Simple controls that lead to quick results
CloudScan’s graphic user interface is something far from complicated. It’s based on the Microsoft Office ribbon structure which allows you to have its functions neatly grouped into specific categories and easily accessible.In a few steps you get to choose the default scanner, paper size, resolution and scan type. CloudScan can handle color, gray and bitonal scanning and exports the results in .pdf and .tiff formats which means that if the device is capable and the source is good, then you can obtain high-quality results.
Improve network scanning
To wrap things up, CloudScan provides an efficient and time saving solution for scanning files from any computer that is located on a network, and has the potential to increase office productivity to some extent.
