Configuring Print Harvester

Once the Print Harvester application has been installed you then need to configure your settings.

Scan Settings

  1. When the application is installed, it creates default scan & response folders on the local system, e.g. "C:\PrintHarvester\Scan". You can use this default location or change the scan folder to a location of your choice by selecting "Browse".

  2. The application accepts files in all the formats applicable in bulk mailing, i.e. csv, pipe & ascii.

    The extension csv is automatically populated by default. Do not change the setting from the default, as this is the extension of the Bulk Mailing Template created earlier.

  3. If the files you will be importing contain a header row, then select the "Header" tick box.
