4.15.1 Maintaining the User Data Store

The scanner's user data store can be backed-up, restored, and deleted.

The user data store contains the following information:

z"My List" e-Mail Address Books

zScan Settings

zUser Logs

zFax Number List

zName of the last network printer used

zName of the last network folder used

zName of the last SharePoint folder used

zLocal Accounts

Scanner login user names are authenticated with the LDAP server, and when a new name is encountered, the scanner automatically adds an entry for that user to the user data store.

The user data store may contain up to 1,000 users.

zOnce 1,000 user names have been used to login, new user logins are no longer

possible until the entire user data store is cleared.

It is recommended that the user data store be backed up before it is cleared. Refer to "Backing up the User Data Store" (page 178) and "Clearing the User Data Store" (page 180) for details.

zWhen restoring from a user data store backup, if a backed up user name corresponds to that of an existing user in the current user data store, the backup user data will overwrite the current user data. Addition of new users cannot cause the 1,000 user limit to be exceeded, or the user data store restoration will fail. If this happens, delete all user data once and then restore from a user data store backup.

zWhen the user data store is restored from a backup, the Fax Number List and local accounts are also reverted to their old state.

The following example illustrates how the number of users could exceed 1,000:

1.100 users (A001 to A100) login.

2.The user data store is backed up (with 100 users: A001 to A100).

3.The user data store (containing users A001 to A100) is cleared.

4.960 "new" users (A001 to A050 and B001 to B910) login.
