• The mail address registered for each destination can be selected

from the mail address which is searched using LDAP.

• The information for each recipient includes the recipient name, IP

parameter.

• AThe scanning size is the size of the document sensed or predeter-

mined by the main unit(copier). 

• If there is no information available about the document size from the

main unit(copier), scanning is performed according to the scanning

size predetermined in the destination registration section in advance.
However, a detected or predetermined document size takes prece-

dence over the information predetermined.

• This unit should be connected to the USB port on the dual function

board of the main unit(copier).
