The AR-C260M Scanner Destination Tool
Model Name:
AR-C260M, AR-NS2
Description:
This tool allows the easy input of multiple scanner destinations to the
ARC260M equipped with an ARNS2. Furthermore, it also allows Destinations
to be saved to disk, and replicated to other machines if required.
ARC260M equipped with an ARNS2. Furthermore, it also allows Destinations
to be saved to disk, and replicated to other machines if required.
Notes:
1. This Tool can only be used on AR-C260M and is not compatible with
other AR-NS2 supported machines (eg Tiger).
2. EIU v4.3 is not compatible with AR-C260M.
Overview:
The ARC260M/ ARNS2 is capable of holding up to 600 email / ftp/ desk
destinations (with a maximum of 100 FTP/Desk destinations). Although the
web-browser interface allows the easy entry of single destinations, multiple
entries can be time-consuming. The ability to load destination data from a
“.CSV” file is therefore very useful.
Other uses of this tool include:

Other uses of this tool include:
• When common destinations are required on multiple machines, this tool
can easily replicate the scanner destinations on AR-C260M machines
throughout the customer’s site

• A service engineer can back-up and restore scanner destinations to a
machine, if a PWB holding the destinations needs to be serviced.
How It Works:
The tool operates from an MS-DOS command prompt (available from all MS
Windows systems.)
Windows systems.)
The tool simulates the action of the web browser’s destination input. Taking
each line within the .CSV file, writing each destination into the machine will
take approximately 7 seconds. If you require to write all 600 destinations, it
will take 70 minutes (approx.).
.
The tool creates a (results.csv) file, which allows you to check that all
destinations have been stored correctly. Any errors are listed in the first
column, against the failed destination

Caution:
1.
During the destination writing process, do not allow the machine [image send] button to be pressed. If
the [image send] button is pressed, the utility cannot write destinations and it will record a failed attempt
against the individual destination in the “results.csv” file.

3.
Desktop destinations created by the Network Scanner Tool do not have a “Custom Directory” entry when
the copier profile is updated. Desktop destinations without this information will not be exported by using
SCNSET. Amend the “Custom Directory” entry manually for each desktop destination before exporting.

4.
Be careful not to exceed the maximum capacity of destinations. When the maximum number of
destinations is reached, the machine will write “Ignore Error 954” into the results log, and subsequent
destinations will have the “Ignore-Email append count over” error message.

Using SCNSET – The Scanner Destination Tool
1.
Download the file and unzip it into a folder (example c:\scantool).
2.
Check the “sample.csv” file to understand the format of a destination.
3.
Create your own .csv file containing the customer’s destinations and save it in the c:\scantool folder.
4.
Go to an MS-DOS command prompt.
Change directory (folder) to c:\scantool (cd c:\scantool)
5.
Then use the utility to write, read or delete destinations in ARC260M, using the following command
switches.
switches.
Note: We recommend that you delete all destinations in the machine, before writing to the machine.
This can be achieved by using SCNSET (refer to page 3) or by executing Sim 67:18.
If Sim 67:18 is used, additional settings such as Email & DNS configurations are also deleted.
