Basic Procedure for Storing Scan Files

Important

  • You can specify a password for each stored file. Files that are not password-protected can be accessed by other users on the same local area network using DeskTopBinder. We recommend that you protect stored files from unauthorized access by specifying passwords.

  • Scan file stored in the machine may be lost if some kind of failure occurs. We advise against using the hard disk to store important files. The supplier shall not be responsible for any damage that may result from the loss of files. For long-term storage of files, we recommend the use of DeskTopBinder. For details, contact your local dealer, or see the documentation for DeskTopBinder.
