Axis part no: 17588. Also included in the AXIS MFP KIT. Might also affect Axis part no: 17583 (German), 17584 (UK), 19927 (SE) in some versions of this keyboard. This correction may also affect other previously failing keyboards. - Image problems with some versions of Kodak i50. - General stability improved - Error message added if it not is possible to get email address of logged on user when LDAP address book is used. - National character when loading E-mail addresses from the LDAP server. - Generic Fujitsu scanner driver removed. This caused problems for Fujitsu scanners which where identified but where support was limited to a subset of scanner functionality. - Double feed problem with Epson GT-10000 and Epson feeder EU-21 - A security issue with some web pages solved Known problems: - For Ricoh Aficio 401 based machines the scan mode must be activated on the digital copier before the AXIS 7000 is booted. - For Ricoh Afico 401 based machines papers must be inserted upside down in ADF to get scanned images in correct order. - Ricoh Afico 401 can sometimes not exit scan mode to copy mode unless either the AXIS 7000 or the copier is power cycled - Scanning PDF files to Internet Explorer with releases before 5.0 does not work. - Saving JPEG images in Internet Explorer does not work without reload, which will result in a second scanning. - For Digital Copiers, except Sharp, every second page will be scanned upside down when scanning in duplex. The PDF rotate option solve this for the PDF file format. - Transparency adapter for HP6390C scanner is currently not supported. - Transparency adapters for Epson scanners are currently not supported. - When doing a web scan some users may encounter the problem that the scanning can not be stopped using the STOP button in the web browser. This problem occurs using Netscape 4.72 (at least) with proxy configuration. By switching to "Direct connection to Internet" or manually bypass the proxy server this problem could be avoided. - Drag and drop of the config.ini file does not work with some versions of Netscape Navigator and some OS. - If NT authentication is used the sender e-mail address is sometimes not shown correctly. - Profile with PDF-JPEG on Ricoh IS450D does not work. - Dithered scanning mode will get large image file with some Epson scanners. Reduce resolution to get smaller file size. - Scanning several sheets from the ADF (EU-21) on the Epson GT-10000 will give image output in reverse order unless inserted in reverse order. - In some circumstances the Fujitsu ScanPartner 620C makes a short pause after the full read of a scanned page from the flatbed. - When using the XML functionality, if the selected FTP destination send the Image File and the Information File to the same FTP server / directory as the preset FTP destination defined in the XML DD file, the preset destination will be unable to write the Information File as it should. - Scanners with Reversing ADF (Epson GT-10000+/30000 and Ricoh IS330DC and OEM's) will give back page in duplex upside down in all formats except PDF and TIFF if reader supports image rotation. - Fujitsu M3091DC scanner in duplex with paper sizes smaller than selected will result in lock-up of the scanner. Power cycle the scanner to resume. - Default settings of LDAP Search Base may not fit all LDAP servers and might have to be modified for proper operation. - In some specific conditions the Meta Data functionality requires the User to press Send/Scan twice in order to proceed with the scanning. - For HP 7400C series max resolution used is 600 dpi - When a HP 7400C series scanner goes in to power save mode it can take 90-120 seconds before the scanner start after a scanning is initiated. - When an Avision AV8000S goes in to power save mode it can take 30-60 seconds before the scanner start after a scanning is initiated - Transparency adaptor not supported for HP 7400C series. - Duplex color scanning using scanner built-in JPEG color compression is limited to 150dpi. Applicable to Fujitsu fi-4210/4220/4340/4750. - Scanner name shown in the AXIS 7000 display at power-on can be different from the name/model on the scanner casing. This is due to regional/OEM name issues. Recommendation: - For Ricoh Aficio 340/350/450 based machines it is recommended to decrease the System Reset time on the copier to 10 seconds to earlier free the machine after scanning has been finished. - As the default e-mail reply address in the AXIS 7000 is blank it might be necessary to set it to a valid address to avoid mails being rejected as spam by some mail servers. - For correct date of last reset for the temporary scan counter it is necessary to have the correct date set in 'admin' mode and also reset the temporary scan' counter in 'service' mode.
