Using an Advanced Space on the Network
You can save the 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 from Using a Network
