The eCopy Scan to File Connector

Scan to File enables users to scan documents and deliver them to predetermined network locations, Web locations, or to an SMTP server, with minimal data entry requirements. It is ideally suited to environments where large numbers of documents must be scanned quickly into automated or manual workflows.

To be able to use this connector with the Email and folder watching service, you need to create a profile in such a way that it does not require user interaction (express). To ensure that your connector profile is such:

disable subfolder navigation (in the Edit dialog box, unmark the Enable subfolder navigation checkbox )
set the value of Authenticate User to None, or Logon as (and specify the credentials)
ensure that your turn off the User Modify parameter (unmark the checkbox) in the File name filed editor window
ensure that the Encryption connector setting has the User Modify parameter set to 'No' (unmark the Yes checkbox).

Alphanumeric	Inserts text into the file name. The text can contain any printable characters except those that are restricted from Windows file naming conventions or any characters that you define as separators. Minimum/maximum length: The minimum and maximum number of characters allowed. Remember: The number of previous entries to display when the user is prompted for the naming information. If set to zero, no previous values appear in the drop-down list.
Batch number	Inserts the current batch number into the file name. Leading zeroes: Pads all values with leading zeroes to make their length equal to the maximum field size. For example, if you specify "3" in the Length field and you enable leading zeroes, batches are numbered “001”, “002”, … , “010”, “011”, … , “100”, “101”, … , “999”. If you do not enable leading zeroes, batches are numbered "1", "2", etc. Length: The maximum number of digits allowed for the batch number, including leading zeroes.
