We recommend that you, as the System manager, go through the below so you and your users can get started with capture and workflow.
- Check requirements.
- Evaluate from which sources (printer and/or mobile) your users need to capture data from.
- Optionally check Act as capture gateway if you prefer Printix Client on a particular Windows computer on the printer’s network to handle scanned documents and delivering these to the selected workflow destination. Printix Cloud will otherwise automatically select an online Printix Client on the printer’s network if none of the preferred computers are online.
- Decide the kinds of workflows you need to create and to whom should workflows be available.
- Verify that the workflow works as expected.
- Activate the workflow.
Requirements
