Connecting to the Other Devices
The machine can be connected to a computer (Windows server) or Advanced Space of other Canon multifunction printers on a network. The machine can print/send data saved in the connected Windows server or Advanced Space. Conversely, other multifunction printers can retrieve data from the Advanced Space of the machine.
