Field Name

Description

Enable eCopy address book

Activates the Settings and Manage sections of the Address book tab with this enabling users to search for and select recipients from the specified address book.

When a local address book is enabled, addresses and fax numbers entered manually at the device are stored in the address book; users can select recipients without having to enter the same address or fax number each time.

In addition, when a local address book is enabled, you can add, delete, import, and export addresses that will then be available at the device. An imported address list must be a text file with a list of comma-separated values (CSV) in the following format:

  • E-mail connectors: Last_Name,First_Name,Email_Address.
  • Fax connectors: Last_Name,First_Name,Fax_Number

You export an address book database to a CSV file.
