When running in Epic mode, the Front Office Scanning client attempts to auto-load its configuration settings from EPICFOSCONFIG.xml, an XML configuration file. In a default installation, this file resides in the same folder as obepicfosXx.dll and the Front Office Scanning executable.

To configure the integration to look for the EPICFOSCONFIG.xml file in a different location (network or local), add a registry setting to the workstation running the Front Office Scanning client. The Front Office Scanning client will first attempt to find EPICFOSCONFIG.xml file in the specified location before checking the location of the Front Office Scanning executable.

To create the registry setting:

  1. Open the Registry Editor as described under Accessing the Registry.
  2. Navigate to the following key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Hyland\Front Office Scanning
  3. Create a new string value named EpicConfigFile.
  4. In the value's Value data field, enter the full path (including file name) to the Epic FOS configuration file. This can be a UNC or local path.

    For example:

    \\Server\FOS\EPICFOSCONFIG.xml

    Note:

    Ensure Epic Front Office Scanning users have Read access to the Front Office Scanning registry key. Also ensure users have sufficient Modify NTFS permissions (and Modify share permissions, if applicable) to the location where the Epic FOS configuration file is stored.
