Creating an Annotation User Box

Annotation User Box is a box used to automatically add the date, time and filing number to a file saved in this box when it is printed or sent.

When a file is read from the Annotation User Box and used for printout or transmission to a recipient, the date, time and annotation (previously determined for management) are added to the header or footer of each image automatically. You can prevent the unauthorized use of documents by creating a document that can identify the creation date and time and the serial page number of each document.

In the administrator mode, select [Box] - [System User Box List] - [New Registration] - [Annotation User Box], then configure the following settings.
