The CD-4070NW includes a network card. Adding a CD-4070NW to a network is no different than adding a computer to a network. Once connected, simply create a directory (shared folder) on the server and name it "Image Files". Subdirectories (electronic filing cabinets) can then be created from the CD-4070NW. The names of the subdirectories (electronic filing cabinets) can match the names that Record Managers call the hard copy files into which file folders are filed, e.g. Personal Records, Monthly Bank Statements, Accounts Payable, Medical Records, etc.

When an electronic file folder stored on the network needs to be retrieved, a user may do so from any workstation on the network by simply clicking START, going to FIND (or SEARCH), clicking the LOOK IN arrow (or BROWSE) and selecting the path to the subdirectory (electronic filing cabinet) containing the electronic file folder. In the NAMED (or SEARCH FOR FILES OR FOLDERS) field, the file folder index (or a portion) is typed and after pressing ENTER, a list of all folders meeting the search criteria is presented in alpha/numeric order. Double clicking on any listed folder will open the file folder and display the pages. These pages can then be printed by clicking the printer icon and/or sent by e-mail by clicking SEND.
