Reference

Advanced Space of imageRUNNER ADVANCE

The Advanced Space of imageRUNNER ADVANCE is a storage location for sharing information. It enables paperless information communication by storing scanned documents in it and allowing users to access them from their PCs.

The Advanced Space has the following features:

Access control according to data

Two storage locations, shared space and personal space, are provided in the Advanced Space to enable access control according to file contents.

Document management in general-purpose data formats

You can save originals read from imageRUNNER ADVANCE in the file formats such as PDF, JPEG, TIFF, as well as print files from this machine.

Data linkage with PCs

By browsing the Advanced Space of imageRUNNER ADVANCE from PCs, files in the Advanced Space and on the PCs can be mutually stored.

Configuring Advanced Space

To use the Advanced Space, the administrator must configure the Advanced Space in accordance with the purpose of use, including user authentication management, access permission from the personal space, publication as the SMB or WebDAV server.

Local Library

iW Desktop saves folders and documents are saved in libraries. Two types of libraries are used; local libraries and shared libraries (libraries on Document Server). A local library can be created by specifying a folder on a PC on the network, in addition to a folder on a local computer.

By registering the Advanced Space of imageRUNNER ADVANCE as a local library of Desktop, you can save documents from Desktop in the Advanced Space of imageRUNNER ADVANCE. By default, imageRUNNER ADVANCE only allows image documents to be saved in the Advanced Space. To save documents in other formats than image, change the imageRUNNER ADVANCE settings. For more information on how to change the settings, see "Access Stored Files."

Checking for New Documents

You can use Desktop Monitor to monitor folders in the Advanced Space. By configuring folders to monitor with iW Desktop and enabling notification for new documents, the new document notification icon and window appear when a document is saved in a folder in the Advanced Space.

(New Document)

This is displayed in the task tray when there is a new document.

The new document notification window is displayed for 10 seconds.

Double-clicking the new document notification icon [Log List] in the new document notification window, the [Log List] window is displayed. On the [Log List] dialog box, double-click an entry in the new document list to launch Desktop Browser and display the items in the folder where a new document exists in the File List View Pane.

For more information on how to configure folders to monitor and Desktop Monitor, see the e-manual of iW Desktop.

Troubleshooting

I cannot connect to Advanced Space registered as a local library.

Check the network status and authentication management settings of the Advanced Space. When you cannot browse to the Advanced Space with Windows Explorer or similar tools, connection between the personal computer and the Advanced Space has a problem. When you can browse to the Advanced Space, you may not have entered the correct username and password.

I cannot register a folder in Advanced Space as a local library.

Check the settings of the Advanced Space. External write access to the Advanced Space may be banned. In addition, you cannot use a folder for which you do not have the write rights as a local library of iW Desktop. To enable external write access, you need to change the settings of imageRUNNER ADVANCE. For more information on how to change the settings, see "Security."

I cannot save documents in Advanced Space.

Check the settings of the Advanced Space. By default, imageRUNNER ADVANCE only allows image documents to be saved in the Advanced Space. When saving files in any other format than an image format, change the imageRUNNER ADVANCE settings. For more information on how to change the settings, see "Access Stored Files."

I want to change a library name.

You can change the library name by selecting a desired library and then selecting the [File] menu → [Rename] or by right-clicking a desired library in the Navigation Pane and then selecting [Rename] in the displayed menu. Up to 255 characters can be entered for a local library name.
