Shortcut keys located on the right side of the operation panel enable you to perform the operations with greater ease and efficiency. By using the shortcut keys, you can save scanned images to a computer or reduce the amount of paper you consume when you make copies.
(1) [Scan > PC1]/[Scan > PC2] key Using these keys is the easiest way to use the scan function.

Then, place the document and simply press [  ] or [  ] to start scanning. The scanned document is stored in the computer in the specified file format. (2) [Paper Save Copy] key For the [  ] key, settings are pre-registered that enable you to save paper by copying two (or four) sheets of documents onto one side of a page. On the MF8580Cdw, you can also select 2-sided copy settings to save even more paper. Registering Your Computer in the [SCAN > PC] Key You can specify settings for the [ ] and [ ] keys, such as the destination computer, the type of scan (color or black and white), and the file format (PDF or JPEG).

 5. Select the type of connection that is used for the machine and computer, and press [ ].
(a) <Off> Select this setting to clear the registered information. (b) <USB Connection> Select this setting if the machine and destination computer are connected via USB. If you select this setting, proceed to step 7. (c) <Network Connection> Select this setting if the machine and destination computer are connected via a network. All of the computers connected to the machine via the network are shown on the screen displayed in step 6. Choose the save destination from that list. 6. Select the destination computer, and press [ ].
This screen is not displayed if you select <USB Connection> in step 5, or if a computer is connected to the machine via USB and no computers are connected via a network. Proceed to step 7.

Using the [Paper Save Copy] Key You can use <2 on 1>/<4 on 1> to copy multiple documents onto a single sheet, and <2-Sided> to copy the document onto sides of a page. Using [ ], which combines these functions, makes it easier to save paper than when using the functions separately.
