Version: 1.1 Stable
Release date:2011/06/13

Introduction

This is Maarch Capture Connector Client. It can only work if Maarch Capture Connector Server is set up on your server.

History

Maarch Capture Connector (MCC) is the replacement for Maarch Scansnap Connector (MSC). MSC has been entirely rewritten in PHP. There are multiple for that :

  • Because of its name, MSC was (too) often considered to be only compatible with Fujitsu Scansnap scanners
  • It was written in VB6, which is neither free (as in "free speech"), nor supported by Microsoft
  • It was not portable

So here is the good news:

  • MCC is fully compatible with any scanner, and any PDF-Generators (such as PDF Creator)
  • MCC can (in theory) work on Windows, Linux and MacOS X
  • It has some great new features :
    • Support for Proxies
    • Support for secured protocol (HTTPS)
    • A new "Form Mode": if enabled, you will be prompted for a few basic information after your document is scanned, and before it is sent to the server.
    • A new mass upload mode: upload several documents to the server at once.
