Scanning and Saving to a Computer
The sequence of "scanning an original and saving it to a computer" can only be done when scanning from the machine. Scan while specifying what computer originals will be saved to; whether to scan originals in color or black and white; whether to save originals as PDFs or JPEGs; and other settings. Incidentally, if you want to specify a computer connected to the network as the destination, you must register the machine with the computer in advance (Preparing to Use the Machine as a Scanner).

Register these settings in the shortcut key so that you can scan with one press of a key. Scanning Using the Shortcut Key
