The Push Scan function of your imageRUNNER ADVANCE enables you to convert paper documents to digital files and send the files to a shared folder on your computer, as quickly and easily as sending a fax.
This function is also referred to as "SMB Send," as transmitting the digital data uses the SMB (Server Message Block) protocol.
Without the need for a separate delivery server, anyone with access to an imageRUNNER ADVANCE machine and a computer can digitize paper documents with ease.
