A technician is explaining the purpose of the Network Scan Services feature that appears in the menu of a newly installed multifunction printer.
What function does this feature provide?
It sends scanned documents directly to a designated network destination such as an e-mail address, SMB share, or supported cloud folder.
It allows administrators to change the printer's IP, Wi-Fi, or other network settings from a remote console.
It scans the network for compatible devices such as other printers and desktop workstations and sends a driver installation request to reduce support overhead.
It monitors toner and ink levels across the fleet and automatically orders replacement supplies when they run low.
Network scan services let the device act as its own on-ramp to the network. When a user scans a document, the printer can immediately transmit the file to a predefined destination such as an SMB share, an e-mail address, or a supported cloud-storage account, without requiring the user to first save it on a local workstation. This streamlines distribution and archiving while reducing manual steps.
Why the other choices are incorrect:
The feature that allows administrators to change the printer's network settings is handled through the embedded web interface or management software, not through network scan services.
Supply monitoring and automatic re-ordering are parts of managed-print services and are unrelated to scanning.
Scanning the network for compatible devices and pushing driver installations is a separate discovery or management function, not part of network scan services.
