Practically Applying Print Data

You can store print data in the Mail Box of your machine, enabling the practical reuse of your data.

This can save you the effort of using your computer to print routine documents such as fax transmittal cover sheets.
You can insert a document before/after a specified page in a standard document. By previewing an image of the specified page, you can avoid errors when inserting a document.
You can merge files created using different platforms, such as Windows and Macintosh, providing you with greater possibilities when creating documents.
You can use the Mail Box in combination with the Fax and Send functions as an alternative to sending via paperless fax.
