The cloud
Introduction
The multi-touch user panel gives the user the opportunity to print from and scan to various
locations. One of these locations is the cloud.
You can enter the cloud via WebDAV and use it as a network drive. This way, the cloud
application of your choice is accessible.
NOTE
• For more information on how to configure the cloud as an external location, see Create an
external location
on page 121 .
• Note that WebDAV is the type selected when creating a cloud location. For more information
on how to use the cloud for print jobs, see

The cloud can be seen as a virtual network drive you use to send files to, but also to save and
share files on.

companies can also use their own private and internal clouds.
