I've seen printers advertised as scanning to email and network folders, |
| 17 |
and it turns out you need to control it FROM THE COMPUTER. (I saw the |
| 18 |
adverts, downloaded the manual, and there was no mention of doing from |
| 19 |
the front panel, but copious explanation of how to use the computer |
| 20 |
software.) |

My Dell, you need the computer to configure it, but then everything is |
| 23 |
controlled from the printer front panel. |
