Storing Data

This section describes the procedure for storing documents on the Document Server.

Important

  • A document accessed with a correct password remains selected even after operations are complete, and it can be accessed by other users. After the operation, be sure to press [Reset] to cancel the document selection.

  • The user name registered to a stored document in the Document Server is to identify the document creator and type. It is not to protect confidential documents from others.

  • When scanning by the scanner, make sure that all other operations are ended.

File Name

A file name such as "COPY0001" and "COPY0002" is automatically attached to the scanned document. You can change the file name.

User Name

You can register a user name to identify the user or user group that stored the documents. To assign it, select the user name registered in the Address Book, or enter the name directly. Depending on the security setting, [Access Privileges] may appear instead of [User Name].

For details about the Address Book, see "Registering Addresses and Users", Device Management.

Password

To prevent unauthorized printing, you can specify a password for any stored document. A protected document can only be accessed if its password is entered. If a password is specified for the documents, the lock icon appears on the left side of the file name.
