Limitations and Compatibility of the release

1. MAXIMUM NUMBER OF IMPORTED DESTINATIONS WITH MARKVISION PROFESSIONAL

This release Of Scan to Classroom supports importing a maximum of 25 destinations (without custom images) through MarkVision Professional(MVP). If custom images are used, less than 25 destinations can be imported through MVP. In addition, even if 25 destinations are imported successfully, MVP may display a "Failed to import Scan to Classroom Folder config. file" message.

2. SAVED FILE BEHAVIOR WHEN SCAN IS CANCELLED

A scan job can be cancelled in one of two ways: during the scan or after the scan is complete but the job has not been accepted. For each of these scenarios, the application may behave differently for "multi-page" file formats (PDF, XPS, and multi-page TIFF) than for "single-page" formats (JPG and single-page TIFF). If preview is disabled and the job is cancelled after the scan is complete (i.e. when the "Scan the Next Page" or "Finish the Job" screen is displayed), the application will start writing the images as it starts receiving data from the scanner. This occurs immediately after "Scan It" is clicked. Therefore, the files will be saved on the network share, regardless of their format. Whether or not these files can be opened or used depends on the file type. JPG files can be opened, but PDF, single-page TIFF, multi-page TIFF, and XPS files cannot be opened.

3. CONFIGURATION FILE COMPATIBILITY

Configuration files from this release are not compatible with those of earlier versions of Scan to Classroom. However, exported configuration files from Scan to Classroom v2.0.7 and higher can be imported into this version.

5. CONNECTION DROPPED BEFORE SCAN DATA IS SENT

The amount of time before the application begins to send the scan data to an FTP server may exceed the amount of time the server will keep an idle connection open. This results in the connection being dropped before the scan data is sent. The application shows an "application error has occurred" message.

When the user selects the "OK" button, a "Scan Failed" confirmation screen appears along with another "application error has occurred" message that has three options: "Yes, to same destination," "Yes, to a different destination," and "No." If the user selects "No," the application returns to the home screen. This issue can be resolved by having the network (FTP server) administrator increase the idle session timeout for the FTP passive mode.

6. NETWORK SAVE FAILS IF FILE IS ALREADY IN USE

If the file to which the scan data is being written is already in use by another application or user, the network save operation will fail. The application shows a "The scan cannot be completed using this filename. The file is currently being used by another program" message. When the user selects the "OK" button, a "Scan Failed" confirmation screen appears along with another "The scan cannot be completed using this filename. The file is currently being used by another program" message that has three options: "Yes, to same destination," "Yes, to a different destination," and "No." If the user selects "No," the application returns to the home screen.

7. "START IN USER DIRECTORY" BEHAVIOR

If the administrator selects the "Start in user directory" option, the application will attempt to store the scanned file in a subdirectory with the same name as the user ID. Some file systems may automatically place the user in the "user" directory, so the application may create yet another subdirectory named for the user. If this behavior is noted and is not desirable, turn off the "Start in user directory" option.

8. "START IN USER DIRECTORY" BEHAVIOR WITH LDAP PATH ATTRIBUTE SET

On a Windows FTP server, if the value returned by the LDAP server for the path attribute is the same as the username, an issue similar to the one documented in 6.g above occurs. The user is automatically placed in the "username" directory (see above), and the application's attempts to connect to the FTP server will fail because it will not be able to find the "username" directory.

9. SAVED FILES WITH LONG CUSTOM FILENAMES CANNOT BE OPENED If the length of a custom filename is between 241 and 255 characters, the scanned image will be saved successfully in the destination, but it cannot be opened or previewed.



10. This issue occurs only on Windows machines. If the filename exceeds the limit of 255 characters, an error message and a "Scan Failed" confirmation are displayed.
