Return to Overview

Advanced Box is a storage for sharing information. You can store scanned documents in the Advanced Box of this machine and view the file from a computer, enabling a paperless communication.

• Benefits of Using the Advanced Box

• Allowing/restricting the use of data according to its content

There are two types of storage in the Advanced Box: the Shared Space and the Personal Space. The files stored in the latter can be kept confidential by restricting access.

• Document management using generic data formats

Also, not only can you scan the document with this machine and store it in a file format; such as PDF, JPEG, and TIFF, but you can also print the stored file on this machine at any time with your desired print settings.

• Linking data with computers

By accessing the Advanced Box from a computer, you can store files inside the Advanced Box and inside the computer back and forth.

• Opening the Advanced Box to the Public

The following two methods are available.

• Network settings are set.

• The user is registered.

This section describes how to create a personal space on the Advanced Box. Since only the logged in user can access the personal space, this is best suited for storing files with high confidentiality.

The screen may differ, depending on the version of your operating system.
