By selecting the Advanced Space of another imageRUNNER ADVANCE series machine from [Network], you can scan a document with this machine, and store it in the Advanced Space of the other imageRUNNER ADVANCE series machine. You can also use this machine to print files stored in another imageRUNNER ADVANCE series machine on the network.
