3.9.1 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:

Fax Number List (one per scanner)

"My List" e-Mail Address Books (one per user)

Scan Settings (for each user)

User Logs (for each user)

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.

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

ATTENTION

longer possible until the entire user data store is cleared. Refer to

 

 

"Clearing the User Data Store" (page 114) for details.

 

It is recommended that the user data store be backed up before it is

 

cleared.

When 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. If the backed up user name is "unknown", the backed up data will be added as a "new" user. Addition of new users cannot cause the 1,000 user limit to be exceeded, or the user data store restoration will fail.

When the User Data Store is restored from a backup, the Fax Number List is also reverted to its old state.

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

1.100 users (A001 to A100) log in.

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.
