(Copying)
Sending*
The Send function enables you to send scanned image or document data to file servers or USB memory media or by e-mail or I-fax. The function supports a variety of file formats, including TIFF, JPEG, and PDF (with some variants) for either black-and-white or color scans. (The available file formats vary depending on the modes selected and the machine configuration.)
These file formats offer you greater flexibility in accommodating digital workplace environments.
* To use the Send function with the imageRUNNER 2525/2520, the optional Color Send Kit-Y1 and System Upgrade RAM-C1 are required.
Faxing*
The machine’s Super G3 fax function is compatible with most Super G3 fax machines used in office environments.
If the optional Super G3 Fax Board-AG1 and Fax Driver are installed, you can send facsimiles from your computer.
* The Fax function is available only when the optional Super G3 Fax Board-AG1 is attached to the machine.
Printing
This machine uses UFRII LT (Ultra Fast Rendering II LT) Technology, which utilizes a newly invented printing algorithm to minimize file processing and achieve maximum performance. You can also use the machine as a PCL (Printer Command Language)/PS (PostScript) emulation printer with or without the appropriate optional equipment.
(See the help on the printer driver.)
If you are printing TIFF/JPEG files, you can print them from a USB memory device by inserting it directly into the machine and selecting the desired images on the touch panel display.
(Using the Machine as a Printer)
With the optional Barcode Printing Kit, the BarDIMM function is also available.
Remote User Interface
The machine can be connected to a network using Ethernet. Connecting to a network enables you to use the Remote UI.
With the Remote UI, you can perform functions from your computer’s Web browser, such as confirming the status of the machine and job operations and making various settings.
Once the Ethernet interface port is configured properly, the machine can be controlled and set up from a computer through the Remote UI and network. (Using the Remote UI)
Network Scanning
The Remote Scan function enables you to use the machine as a conventional scanner. You can scan a document using the machine, and read the data in a TWAIN-compliant application on your computer. To use this function, the machine must be connected to an IPv4 network and the Color Network ScanGear* must be installed on your computer.
* The Color Network ScanGear software is supplied on the accompanying CD-ROM.
