Maintenance Features
The manual implicitly covers several maintenance aspects, primarily focused on ensuring the system's operational integrity:
- SD Card Management: Regular formatting and proper mounting of the MicroSD card are essential for system stability and data integrity. The manual emphasizes power cycling after these operations.
- Automatic Document Deletion: The ability to set document deletion intervals (both per box and globally) helps manage storage space and ensures compliance with data retention policies. This prevents the storage medium from becoming full, which could impact performance.
