Scanning at a Konica Minolta Device - Cloud terminal

This section describes the scan application of Dispatcher Paragon Cloud Terminal for Konica Minolta. It is an alternative to Dispatcher Paragon Embedded Terminal for Konica Minolta - 1st Gen.

Scan delivery

Delivery of scan files is done by WebDAV only, so WebDAV has to be enabled as a scan server.

  4. Select a scan workflow you want to execute. Some of the workflows are marked as Instant workflows and are executed directly from the workflows screen by tapping on the workflow. The other workflows need additional parameters to be entered and tapping on the workflow redirects you to a workflow detail screen.

    Limitation: When the user is redirected to a native scan application and wants to use the functionality of the Cloud terminal, opening the Cloud terminal again is needed. If Kiosk mode is enabled, users will need to wait until the MFD’s user timeout period expires before being able to log in again.

Scan - Cloud Fax workflows

The Cloud Fax service is a high-capacity, reliable, and globally accessible service that enables the transmission and reception of faxes from a web portal or a Konica Minolta MFD. If your company purchased this service, perform the following steps to send faxes from the MFD:

  1. Select a Cloud Fax sending method. There are two methods that your Administrator may have configured: Phonebook entry and Manual entry. Your Administrator could have configured one or both methods.

    1. Phonebook entry – this method allows you to select a predefined fax number from a list of numbers. Your Administrator may list the recipient's name, fax number, or both. In this example, only the name of the recipient is shown. To update or add a new recipient, please contact your Administrator.

    2. Manual entry – this method allows you to enter a fax number manually.

  2. After selecting the recipient from the list or entering the number manually, tap Scan. Your document will be scanned and transferred to the cloud fax service. If your administrator configured email notifications in the system, you will receive an email notification with the status.
