Equipped with features to meet the needs of document work in a digitized office, the imageRUNNER ADVANCE 4051/4045/4035/4025 represents the ultimate in digital multitasking machines.

You can easily scan paper documents and send them to one or multiple recipients via e-mail or I-fax. This enables increased workplace efficiency in the area of document exchange. You can also send documents to FTP, SMB, and WebDAV file servers, which helps to digitize paper documents for convenient data access and management.

You can send documents in a variety of file formats, including PDF, XPS, JPEG, and TIFF. This gives you the freedom to send documents in the manner best suited to the purpose of the document, as well as the recipient's document handling environment.

This machine offers a variety of convenient scanning features, such as scanning 2-sided and book originals, and the ability to merge and send documents scanned separately. You can also set the exposure, color mode, and scan size to match the type of original that you are scanning. In addition, you can store preferred scan settings and retrieve them at any time.

You can use the preview function to check scanned images and preventing mistakes before sending.

The machine can access a server machine on the network as a client machine to search for/specify destinations from the Address Book of the server machine.

You can search for a destination from the directory listings on the network using LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) servers. You can then specify the address as a destination, or register it in the address book.

You can store received I-fax documents in the Memory RX Inbox instead of printing them. You can then check the sender information and the number of pages that each document contains before printing it or forwarding it to another destination.

You can set to automatically forward received I-fax documents that match specified forwarding conditions to any destination using the desired send settings. You can forward received I-fax documents to another machine (relay function), or store them in a Confidential Fax Inbox. You can also set automatic forwarding to activate at a specified time. Since received documents that do not match the forwarding conditions can also be forwarded to any desired destination, you can use this function to sort and deliver received I-fax documents to the appropriate destinations.
