Preface

The imageRUNNER ADVANCE features numerous functions enabling you to perform such convenient operations as scanning paper documents, outputting data, and sending/receiving faxes.

The imageRUNNER ADVANCE is designed to meet your needs whilst streamlining workflow, greatly enhancing the productivity of your business.

The imageRUNNER ADVANCE incorporates a user-friendly touch display panel that can be customized to suit the needs of the individual or office environment. This practical feature enables users to customize the layout of the display, as well as register frequently performed operations on the Quick Menu, ensuring that every user experiences remarkable efficiency.

In today's highly-competitive global market, cost savings are more crucial than ever. The total cost of ownership (TCO) must be taken into consideration when a business invests in office equipment. A positive bottom line and improved efficiency can be achieved by reducing the cost and workload involved in transmitting information. Operating a network of imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems enables you to share address books for uniform management, and even share the fax function of another imageRUNNER ADVANCE machine using the Remote Fax function.

Robust security is vital to all business.

The imageRUNNER ADVANCE incorporates a secure watermark function to restrict the misuse of output documents. In addition to this, security solutions are offered for various operations, such as printing and transmitting data.

To use the various functions described in this manual, depending on the function, you may need to specify certain settings in advance using one of the following three methods:

This method enables you to specify the settings required to perform network-related operations such as using Internet fax (I-fax) and e-mail, configuring fax forwarding settings, and accessing the Advanced Spaces of other imageRUNNER ADVANCE machines. You can also set security-related functions by browsing through the directory levels which are grouped by purpose.

The items available in Settings/Registration vary for the administrator and general user.

The administrator or the SSO-H (Single Sign-On H) Administrator can specify all of the system settings for the machine. For information on the types of administrators, see "Administrator Settings."

System Manager Information (System Manager Department ID/System Manager PIN) is set by default in the machine. Thus, the administrator must log in by entering the System Manager ID and the System Manager PIN on the Settings/Registration screen. The default setting for both the System Manager ID and System Manager PIN is '7654321'. We recommend that you change both the System Manager ID and System Manager PIN.
