Document Management on the Hard Disk
You can save processed job data in designated folders on the
MX-2301N’s built-in hard disk, making it easy to instantly recall
saved documents or jobs for printing and sending at a later time.
This contributes greatly to efficient sharing and distribution of
information in your business operations.

Integrated Device Management
The MX-2301N allows for easy programming of complex settings and makes it possible for a system administrator to
manage multiple devices from a single location. The result is minimum time and effort and maximum work efficiency.
Web-Based System Settings
Administrators can configure
system settings such as address
book control, document filing
management, and user control
(accounting) from either over the
network or from the control panel
of the MX-2301N.
User Control
The MX-2301N has capabilities to restrict machine access and
usage. Easily manage overall running costs by setting access rules
through a Web browser to limit or restrict functions, such as the
printing out or copying of large-volume colour documents.

individually.
s5SERCONTROLANDACCOUNTn5PTOPASSWORDPROTECTEDUSER
accounts can be created for customised access. Accounts can be
set up for individuals, groups or departments, in conjunction
with the authority group setting. Maximum limits for printing or
copying pages can be set for each account.
Remote Diagnosis
The MX-2301N can be monitored remotely through a Web
browser. In the event of a problem, such as a low amount of toner,
an alert is displayed on the Web page. Additionally, the E-Mail
Status and Alert function generates e-mail messages to notify the
administrator when action or maintenance is required.
Network Utility Software
sPrinter Administration Utility
makes printer networks easier to
manage by allowing administrators
to customise monitored items and
view settings such as the IP address
directly from their PC through a
standard Web browser.

toner, the Printer Status Monitor
will alert you in the form of
easy-to-understand graphics,
allowing you to avoid problems
before they arise.
Device Cloning
Machine settings can be copied conveniently to another
MX-2301N via a Web browser in XML format, making it easy to
clone machines in a networked environment. With Device Cloning,
the administrator no longer needs to set up individual machines
one by one, thereby making his/her job a lot easier.
Remote Operation
With the MX-2301N’s new Remote Operation function, the same
control panel screen found on the MFD can be displayed on the
screen of a remote, office-networked PC, allowing the MFD to be
operated via that PC. This function can, for example, enable the
administrator to guide an MFD user in need of help through
necessary procedures. It also allows users, regardless of experience,
to operate the MFD remotely, via the PC.
