Scan Directly To FTP Server With Canon imageFORMULA Document Scanner Products And Nocson EasyScanToFTP Software

LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y. – Canon U.S.A., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today announced a new software solution from Nocson Collaborations, Inc. called EasyScanToFTP - a utility designed specifically for Canon imageFORMULA scanners that allows users to upload images directly to FTP servers. The EasyScanToFTP utility - available as a download from the Nocson website, was developed to make imageFORMULA scanners even more flexible in the office environment, where FTP servers are becoming increasingly prevalent. The EasyScanToFTP utility is optimized for quick and convenient operation, allowing users to store frequently visited FTP sites and connecting information.

Since the utility has been specifically designed for use with Canon imageFORMULA products, it integrates with Canon-developed technologies such as CapturePerfect and CaptureOnTouch, allowing users to quickly and efficiently scan documents and distribute them. This suite of options - in addition to other Nocson software such as EasyConnect, which sends image scans to a Microsoft SharePoint Server - integrates the imageFORMULA scanners to any workplace storage environments, including FTP sites, email distribution, local servers, and more.

“The addition of Nocson’s EasyScanToFTP software to Canon’s imageFORMULA scanners streamlines the distribution of scanned files anywhere they need to go,” said Jim Rosetta, vice president and general manager, Imaging Systems Group, Canon U.S.A. “We are committed to making Canon products more flexible to fit into the workplace that is being constantly updated and becoming more connected.”

Nocson’s EasyScanToFTP software provides options to choose two capturing configurations: users can choose from CapturePerfect or CaptureOnTouch as a capturing application, providing effective ways to capture images from imageFORMULA Scanners. Once the image is captured, the EasyScanToFTP application will be activated, allowing the users to utilize an FTP server as an additional distribution option.

“As file storage and distribution becomes more accessible, all office equipment will need to be agile and updated to keep pace. Canon imageFORMULA scanners, along with Nocson’s EasyScanToFTP and EasyConnect software, are doing just that,” Sung Yim, director of marketing, Nocson Collaborations.

EasyScanToFTP will be compatible with the following Canon imageFORMULA scanner models:

- P-150
- P-215
- DR-2020U
- DR-2510C / DR-2010C
