Creating a Personal Space in the Advanced Space (Open to Public by SMB)
Advanced Space is a storage for sharing information. You can store scanned documents in the Advanced Space of this machine and view the file from a computer, enabling a paperless communication.
Benefits of Using the Advanced Space
Allowing/restricting the use of data according to its content
There are two types of storage in the Advanced Space: the Shared Space and the Personal Space. The files stored in the latter can be kept confidential by restricting access.
Document management using generic data formats
Also, not only can you scan the document with this machine and store it in a file format; such as PDF, JPEG, and TIFF, but you can also print the stored file on this machine at any time with your desired print settings.
Linking data with computers
By accessing the Advanced Space from a computer, you can store files inside the Advanced Space and inside the computer back and forth.
