Overview of This Function

You can use the following two types of storage locations for storing scanned documents.
Network
Memory Media
To scan the original and store it, press [Scan and Store] on the Main Menu screen → specify the location to store the scanned data.

Network

By pressing [Network], you can select memory (Advanced Box) of another imageRUNNER ADVANCE series machine to store files, if it is on a network accessible from this machine.
This enables you to scan a document with this machine, and store it in the Advanced Box of another imageRUNNER ADVANCE series machine on the same network.
You can also use this machine to print files stored in another imageRUNNER ADVANCE series machine on the network.
In addition, you can access or print the data saved in the Advanced Box of another imageRUNNER ADVANCE series machine from your computer.
For information on the optional products required to print PDF files from this machine, see "Optional Products Required for Each Function."
For instructions on saving files to the network, see "Storing Originals on the Network." For instructions on specifying the settings for using a network, see "Network Settings."

Memory Media

Memory media is storage that can be used by attaching USB memory to the USB port of this machine.
You can scan a document with this machine and store it in memory media in various file formats that can be used on your computer. You can also print files stored in memory media on this machine at any time with your desired print settings.
For information on the optional products required to print PDF files from this machine, see "Optional Products Required for Each Function."
If the USB Device Port-C1 and Multimedia Reader/Writer-A2 are installed, you can use SD cards, Memory Sticks, CF cards, and Microdrives as memory media. For more information, see "USB Device Port-C1" and "Multimedia Reader/Writer-A2."
For instructions on saving files to memory media, see "Storing Originals into Memory Media."

Network Settings

Configure the network as follows to enable this machine to use the Advanced Space (network storage) of another imageRUNNER ADVANCE series machine. The Advanced Space must be opened externally using SMB or WebDAV.
Settings on this machine:
Register the Advanced Space of another imageRUNNER ADVANCE series machine that is opened externally in [Network Place Settings]. (See "Setting/Managing the Advanced Space of External Reference (Network Place).")
Set the same communication protocol used to open the Advanced Space of another imageRUNNER ADVANCE series machine externally in [Protocol for External Reference]. (See "Setting the Protocol for External Reference.")
Settings on another imageRUNNER ADVANCE series machine with an Advanced Space:
The Advanced Space must be opened externally.

Error Message That Appears When Storing Data on the Advanced Space of Another imageRUNNER ADVANCE Series Machine on the Network

If an error occurs when you try to store data on the Advanced Space of another imageRUNNER ADVANCE series machine opened using SMB or WebDAV, an error message will appear on the touch panel display.
If the error message <Could not perform because an error occurred on the network.> appears on your screen, you may need to confirm the settings of the destination machine. The potential causes and remedies are described below.
Cause 1
The destination has [Prohibit Writing from External] in Function Settings(Settings/Registration) set to 'On'.
Remedy
Set [Prohibit Writing from External] in Function Settings(Settings/Registration) of the destination to 'Off'.
Cause 2
You tried to store data directly in the Shared Space (share) or PersonalSpace (users) of the destination.
Remedy
You cannot store data directly in the Shared Space (share) or PersonalSpace (users) of the destination. Store the file in a folder in [Space].
Cause 3
When you tried to store the data, the full pathname (file/folder namesindicating the store location) was too long.
Remedy
Shorten the folder and file names so that the full pathname, including"/share" and "/users," does not exceed 256 characters in length, or changethe store location.
Cause 4
You tried to store more than the capacity of the Advanced Space (100,000files/ folders), or more than the capacity of the designated destination folder (1,000 files/folders).
Remedy
Perform the operation again after deleting unwanted files from the destinationfolder, or change the destination.
Cause 5
The destination memory capacity was exceeded as a result of your attempt to store data.
Remedy
Perform the operation again after deleting unwanted files from thedestination, or change the destination.
NOTE
For more information on Advanced Spaces, see user manuals for other imageRUNNER ADVANCE series machines with Advanced Spaces.
To check whether the file was stored correctly, press (Status Monitor/Cancel) → [Store] → [Log]. If the result is displayed as "NG," press [Details] to check the error code. For more information on the causes and remedies for each error code, see "see "List of Error Codes without Messages" in the Basic Operation Guide."
