Scan from the machine more easilyIf you have regularly used preferences, such as scanning in color or black and white, or a pre-determined computer where scanned documents will be saved, specifying these settings each time you scan can be troublesome. Register these settings in a <Scan -> PC> button so that you can scan with one press of a button. There are two <Scan -> PC> buttons: <Scan -> PC1> and <Scan -> PC2>.
