TYPES OF DOCUMENT FILING

There are the following ways to save a file using document filing: [Quick File] and [File] in copy mode or image send mode, and [Scan to Local Drive] and [Scan to External Memory Device] in document filing mode.

Quick File

As a copy, image send, or other job is performed, this function saves the document data to the local drive. Use this function when you want to quickly and easily store document data without specifying a file name or other information. The stored file can also be used by other people. Do not use this method to save files that you do not want others to use.

File

As a copy, image send, or other job is performed, this function saves the document data to the local drive. Unlike Quick File, various types of information can be appended to the file when the file is saved to enable efficient file management. A password can also be established.

Scan to Local Drive

This function scans an original and stores it to the local drive. Like File, various types of information can be appended.

Scan to External Memory Device

This function scans an original and stores it in an external memory device such as a USB memory device. Like File, various types of information can be appended.

BEFORE USING SCAN TO LOCAL DRIVE IN DOCUMENT FILING

Folder types

Three types of folders are used to store files on the local drive using the document filing function.
Folders on the local drive

Quick File Folder
Documents scanned using [Quick File] on the action panel are stored in this folder. A user name and file name are automatically assigned to each job.
Main Folder
Scanned documents are stored in this folder.
When you store a job in the Main folder, you can specify a previously stored user name and assign a file name.
A password (4 to 32 characters) can also be set when storing a file ("Confidential" save) as required.
Custom Folder
Folders with custom names are stored inside this folder.
Scanned documents are stored in the stored folder.
Like the Main folder, a custom folder allows you to specify a previously stored user name and assign a file name when storing a job.
Passwords (PIN code: 4 to 8 digit number) can be established for custom folders and for files saved in custom folders.

A maximum of 1000 custom folders can be created on the local drive.

Convenient items to store

When storing a job using [File] in copy mode or image send mode, or [Scan to Local Drive] in document filing mode, it is convenient to store the items below. These settings are not required when storing a job using [Quick File].

User Name

This is necessary if you will be assigning a user name to stored files. A user name is also used as a search condition when searching for a file.

Custom Folder

The Main folder is initially available as a location for storing files by [File] and [File Store]. Store a custom folder and specify it as a location for storing files. Specify a password for the user folder as required. Enter the PIN Code to use the folder. When the folder is set a password, " " appears in the folder that the password is set.

My Folder

A previously created custom folder can be selected as "My Folder", or a new folder created as "My Folder". When "My Folder" has been configured and user authentication is used, "My Folder" will always be selected as the destination of [File] and [File Store].

  • To store a custom folder for document filing:
  • On the Web page, select "Settings (administrator)" → [Document Operations] → [Document Filing] → [Custom Folder]. On the machine, select "Settings (administrator)" → [System Settings] → [Document Filing Settings] → [Document Filing Control] → [Custom Folder].
  • To store a user name and specify a folder as "My Folder":
  • In "Settings (administrator)", select [User Control] → [User Settings] → [User List].

Copying in sort mode uses the same memory area as the main folder and custom folder. For this reason, when too much data has been stored in the main folder and custom folder, it may not be possible to perform a large copy job using sort mode. Delete unnecessary files from the main folder and custom folder.
The original types above are examples to make the explanation easier to understand. The actual number of pages and number of files that can be stored will vary depending on the contents of the original images and the settings when the files are stored.
