Cobra Image Router (CIR) 3.52 for the Xerox Document Centre
Cobra Technologies has been working comprehensively with Lotus Notes, the world's leading groupware product, since its early releases. Notes has a compound document structure, allowing it to accept many kinds of data including: text, rich text, sound, images, graphics, and video, making it a wonderful data store for scanned images. Notes also has powerful routing capabilities, ensuring quick and secure delivery of an object. In a Lotus Domino environment, Notes documents can easily and rapidly be published to a web site for viewing by a client browser over the Internet, an intranet or an extranet. Cobra Technologies uses the strong store and forward document capabilities of Notes in harmony with Cobra Image Router to rapidly scan, route, and deliver paper-based information electronically.
Cobra Image Router (CIR) works very closely with the new generation of Xerox multi-function devices called the Xerox Document Centre which is a network printer, copier, fax machine, and digital scanner all-in-one. CIR integrates with the network scanning features of the Xerox Document Centre and provides the Notes/Domino user the ability to define a scanning destination anywhere in there Notes/Domino environment and have that user-defined option appear on the Control Panel of the Xerox Document Centre. A destination can be any destination reachable by the Lotus Notes server which could be:
- A Lotus Notes mail address
- An Internet address (with Lotus SMTP/MTA)
- A facsimile destination (with Lotus Fax Server or Domino Fax Server)
- A web site (with Lotus Domino)
- A Domino.Doc binder within a file cabinet
- A Notes database, perhaps to initiate a workflow application.
Converting paper documents to digital images has never been easier, simply walk up to the scanner, select a destination from the control panel on the scanner, and press the scan button.
BENEFITS OF COBRA IMAGE ROUTER
The greatest benefit that CIR offers is the ability to break the barriers of paper-based documentation viewing and storage issues. Below are just some of the CIR benefits:
- Digital images of your paper documents are placed directly into the Lotus Domino environment.

- Multiple sites can view the image, eliminating the need for paper-based copies.

- Documents and images can be used and viewed while working remotely, increasing productivity.
- A key complement to any workflow involving the use of paper-based information.
