The PaperPort Link to DocuShare is a plug-in for the popular Visioneer PaperPort Desktop that is bundled with many desktop scanners. The Link is available for download from the DocuShare HelpDesk. It is a self-contained installer that does not require the DocuShare Windows Client to be previously installed.

If you are familiar with PaperPort desktop links, the actions for using the DocuShare plug-in will be easy to identify and use. Items, usually documents, normally appear on the PaperPort desktop as the result of a scanning operation. In Xerox DocuCentre systems, the Scan-to-File facility can place items on the PaperPort desktop. Once on the PaperPort desktop, items can be processed by dragging them onto one of the link icons on the link bar displayed at the bottom of the PaperPort Desktop. Installing the PaperPort Link to DocuShare creates its own link icon. For more information on the PaperPort Desktop and links, refer to the online help for the PaperPort Desktop and the online help for the PaperPort Link to DocuShare for more information.

The PaperPort Link to DocuShare allows items to be uploaded directly from the PaperPort Desktop into DocuShare. Items in DocuShare can not be retrieved back to the desktop through the Link. If installed on a machine with the DocuShare Windows Client, mapped DocuShare servers will be accessible and shared by both the Link and Windows Client.

The PaperPort Link to DocuShare has two dialog window boxes, Link Preferences and Upload Parameters. Each has its own Help information.
