1. Introduction to XMedius Fax Connector

Kyocera’s XMedius Fax Connector is a Kyocera Business Application designed to simplify document

scanning from a network connected Kyocera HyPAS-enabled MFP to a XMedius Fax on-premise or cloud

server. The XMedius Fax Connector enables users to choose fax destination, coversheets, and account

codes that exist on an existing XMedius Fax installation.

1.1 XMedius Fax Connector Features

• Pull recipient information directly from the XMedius server

• Send to individuals, groups, or add new contacts directory on the MFP panel

• Single sign on with third party authentication solutions

• No server middle-ware necessary

1.2 This Guide

This document describes the components, functions, installation requirements, and steps required to

deploy and configure XMedius Fax Connector effectively.

1.3 End-User Operation

User will approach the Kyocera MFP and press the XMedius Connector icon to open the application.

When the user signs in to using their XMedius login info, the XMedius Connector application will retrieve

information such as fax cover sheets, recipient information, etc., from an XMedius on-premise server.

The user would choose recipient(s), the fax cover sheet, and perform a scan as usual. The XMedius Fax

Connector application will then upload the scan to a XMedius Fax on-premise or cloud server.

1.4 Supported MFPs
