eCopy does not recommend the use of animated gif images for connector buttons. Animated gifs require significant imaging resources on the MEAP -enabled device and degrade overall performance. If using the Remote logon feature, all users excluding Domain Administrators, must be explicitly added to the users list within Action>Display User within the Services Manager.

The logged in user needs to have Local Administrator rights on the eCopy ShareScan OP Manager machine in order to properly configure the Exchange connector. If using multiple Exchange servers, the eCopy ShareScan OP user for each server must have a unique and different name. Do not install the eCopy ShareScan OP Services Manager on the same machine as the Exchange Server. Rather, install on a machine where Outlook 2000/2002-SP3/2003 is installed.

The eCopy ShareScan OP Services Manager should be shut down before making any changes to the Lotus Notes Connector settings. If using Lotus Notes 4.x, the path variables must be added manually. This is a limitation of Lotus Notes 4.x. When using Domino version 6, you will not be able to send mail from personal accounts. You must use a generic account.

No, You must use eCopy Desktop v8.3 to automatically view scanned files using eCopy ShareScan OP's Scan to Desktop connector , bundled with eCopy ShareScan OP. eCopy Desktop v8.3 sets inbox path automatically. Prior eCopy Desktop versions require that the inbox path be manually set.

While configuring the Exchange connector and selecting "Test" to validate a user's credential, I get the following error "MAPI subsystem is not able to validate the user."

If you use Novell with multiple Trees, make sure that you set the "Preferred tree" field in the Novell Client Configuration so that the eCopy Inbox Agent and eCopy Desktop Connector function correctly. Three connectors - eCopy Quick Connect, Scan To Desktop, and LDAP/SMTP -- can optionally use Novell NetWare for authentication and/or for sending scanned images to destination folders.

In eCopy ShareScan OP version 1.0, the Multicast IP information is hard-coded and cannot be changed. In eCopy ShareScan OP 1.1, there are alternative methods to discover MEAP-enabled devices. See the FAQ for discovering MEAP-enabled devices.

Yes. Secure Sign On (SSO), Simple Device Login (SDL), or Department IDs must be turned off before the installation and configuration of eCopy ShareScan OP. These security features can be turned back on after completing installation and configuration of eCopy ShareScan OP. Yes. Starting with eCopy ShareScan OP version 1.1, the product supports the following languages: English, French, German, and Spanish.

The Photo Gallery is designed for management of photos. The GIF format is not widely used for photos, but we included limited support for it due to the fact that some users have photos in this format. However, we did not implement the animation feature. You can use Internet Explorer to view your animated GIF files.

You can insert your animated GIF files into PowerPoint by selecting Insert / Picture / From File from the menu in PowerPoint, just like you would place any other picture file in your slideshow. Currently, no version of PowerPoint properly plays all animated GIFs like your web browser does. This is not a defect of Morpheus Photo Morpher or the animated GIFs it creates, but simply that PowerPoint does not properly obey the looping information stored in any GIF file.

Yes, you may as long as the total file size is 20K or less. Remember, though: some people find animation annoying. Try to keep your banner from being annoying. Fast blinking neon colors are probably not going to fit in on most renaissance sites.

animated gif is a *.gif file that displays a series of pictures, like a flip book, giving the impression of movement.

A general rule of thumb is to use gifs for illustrations and images that contain large areas of flat color, and to use jpgs for photographs and images with continuous tones. The jpg format has a very good compression rate, but compression reduces the quality of the image, so experiment until you have the optimal quality/file size.

This was a useful technique in Internotes Web Publisher and TILE. You would store all the special GIF and JPEG files as attachments in the Using document for a database. When the web site was generated, these files would then be detached and placed in the same directory. This way, there is only one copy of these images which you'd reference in custom HTML for the site for generating backgrounds, etc.

While we try to use as many .jpg files to keep the size of the webpage down, we feel that the .gif files look better for our screenshots. As they say, YMMV.

Graphics on the Web are always a compromise between file size and image quality, but by correct choice of file format you can make a big difference. You will need a graphics program capable of converting between different formats and manipulating the images to best effect, such as Paint Shop Pro (shareware version available from Jasc or any magazine cover disk) or Adobe's Photoshop (also available as shareware).

You can't. At least not if you want to be able to see attachments. InterChange has a bug similar to the MailMax server; it reports the message length with attachments but doesn't download them on TOP or RETR. On Jan 9 2001, the people at InfiniteMail sent me mail informing me that their new 3.61.08 release of InterChange fixes this problem. I don't have any reports one way or the other yet.
