• Create a user account and password for the printer on the Web server. Note the user name
and password.
• Create a home directory for the printer.
• Create a bin directory in the home directory
• Copy an executable CGI script in the bin directory. You can create your own script, or
download a sample script. For details, see CGI Scripts on page 104. Note the path to the
script. The script can be defined with script_name.extension or by
path/script_name.extension.
• Create a folder with read and write permissions on the Web server, or alternate server. Note the
directory path, user name, and password. This is your file repository.
• Test the connection by logging in to the printer’s home directory on the Web server. Send a POST
request and file to the Web server. Check to see if the file is in the repository.
CGI Scripts
A CGI (Common Gateway Interface) script is a program on a Web server that is executed when the
server receives a request from a browser. A CGI script is required to allow files to be transferred to your
HTTP server from your printer.
When a document is scanned, the printer logs into the Web server, sends a POST request along with
the scanned file, then logs out. The CGI script handles the remaining details of file transfer.
