About the save destination folder

You can change the save destination from MF Scan Utility. For more information, click [Instructions] on MF Scan Utility.
Scan from the machine more easily
If 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>. You can register your settings in either of these buttons. Scanning Using the <Scan -> PC> Button
Other useful scanning functions (MF249dw / MF246dn)
