eCopy Connector for Lotus Notes
The eCopy Connector for Lotus Notes Mail enables users to send scanned documents from an eCopy-enabled device as email attachments from either a generic Lotus Notes account or from the user's personal Lotus Notes account. eCopy recommends that you create a generic Lotus Notes account for use by ShareScan.
Before email can be sent from a personal Lotus Notes account, you must first configure the eCopyMail pass-through database on a Domino HTTP server.
The connector provides access to the Lotus Notes address book as well as to the local Internet address book. When sending from a personal Lotus Notes account, a copy of the message is automatically delivered to the sender’s Inbox folder.
If the Lotus Notes client installation program prompts you to choose between the Multi-User Install option and the Single User Install option, make sure that you select the Single User Install option. After the client installation program is finished, close it before configuring the connector in the Administration Console.
ShareScan typically uses the logon name specified in the Active ID file to access the Global Address List, while sending messages from the user’s personal Lotus Notes account.
For the generic connector configuration options, see Configure connector profile.
