This chapter provides information that is important to know before this de-
vice is used.
1.1 Overview
By installing the network interface card, this machine can be used as a net-
work printer. In addition, since the machine is preprogrammed with scanning
functions, paper documents can easily be converted to electronic data and
used, for example, with electronic filing allowing easy access to the informa-
tion. Scanned image data (scan data) can be saved as TIFF or PDF files and
sent to other computers through a network.
