 Characteristics of the Quick Image Navigator
Quick Image Navigator is an application software for importing images from a network scanner or images that
were scanned using the Panaboard operation panel to your computer. It can also be used for managing loaded
General Description

images and electronic documents created by various applications.

In addition to basic functions based on Windows Explorer, you can display image files in a list as thumbnails
(Note 1) and edit the images easily using a mouse. This allows you to manage data with different formats in an
integrated fashion and manage documents efficiently.
- Link with Panasonic Communications Utility
Using a link with Panasonic Communications Utility, you can automatically import images captured with
complex machines connected to the network.

- Easily Operated Document Management

You can manage documents easily by drag-and-drop. With a user interface based on Windows Explorer,
you can use the same operations as in many other applications with no difficulties.

- Quick and Smooth Operations

Documents can be managed quickly, and it is possible to handle large-sized files effortlessly. Since image
file contents are displayed as preview, you do not need to start up applications to check their contents.

- Link with Existing Applications

You can open image files, created in other applications, directly from Quick Image Navigator (Note 2).
If the files are supported by Quick Image Navigator, you can draw simple figures and add characters
(annotation function). Edited contents in Quick Image Navigator are reflected in the original data, and are
also effective when opened in other applications.

- TWAIN scanner compatible

Images can be loaded by a TWAIN compatible scanner to automatically aggregate them into a location.

- SD Card Printing Format

Images captured with Quick Image Navigator can be converted into SD card printing format for Panasonic
Digital Color Imaging System. If you save images on an SD memory card, you can easily print them out
by inserting the card into the SD card slot of Panasonic Digital Color Imaging System.

Note 1 Browsing image files as thumbnails depends on your OS. In addition, to display thumbnails in Adobe®
PDF format (zoomed-out display), you need Adobe® Acrobat® 7 or Adobe® Reader® 7 or higher.
Note 2 To start up electronic data created in other applications using Quick Image Navigator, the relevant
applications must be installed on the computer.
