Castelle FaxPress services for GlobalScan 2.0 enable Ricoh MFD customers to fax documents directly from the console of a GlobalScan 2.0-compliant Ricoh device (see list of supported devices below). The Ricoh GlobalScan 2.0 FaxPress Connector provides its services using one of of these two methods:
| ■ | Castelle Fax - administrator configures a shared account that any walk-up MFD user can use to send faxes directly from a Ricoh MFD. |
| ■ | Castelle Authenticated Fax - users login with a username and password before they send faxes directly from a Ricoh MFD. |
Upon installation and configuration of the system, the administrator will decide on Castelle Fax or Castelle Authenticated Fax. If the administrator chooses Castelle Fax, a gateway account must be added using the FaxPress client and then configured as a shared GlobalScan account using the service admin configuration interface.
The GlobalScan 2.0 Connector software is installed on a dedicated GlobalScan server that is connected to the same network as an existing FaxPress Plus server. The GlobalScan server can be administered remotely from another workstation, but can also be accessed and administered directly on the server, if needed.
