Using an Advanced Space on the Network
You can save originals scanned from the machine to the Advanced Space of another imageRUNNER ADVANCE series machine that is opened externally on the network. You can also recall files saved to an Advanced Space on the network and print them from the machine.
Benefits of Using a Network
File sharing environment available without installing a server
A network location refers to the Advanced Space of another imageRUNNER ADVANCE series machine on the network that can be accessed by this machine. You can use the network to enable easy file sharing.
Document management using generic data formats
You can perform document management by converting document data scanned with the machine into file formats (PDF, XPS, JPEG, TIFF, or OOXML) that can be used on a computer.
Opening the Advanced Space Externally
The following two methods are available.
|
