Page 207: Disabling Http Communication
0L40-06J Disabling HTTP Communication HTTP is used for communications over the network, such as when you access the machine via the Remote UI. If you are using a USB connection or are otherwise not using HTTP, you can disable HTTP to block malicious third-party intrusions via the unused HTTP port. Disabling HTTP disables some of the network capabilities, such as the Remote UI, WSD printing.
Page 208: Disabling Remote Ui
0L40-06K Disabling Remote UI The Remote UI is useful because the machine settings can be specified by using a Web browser on a computer. To use the Remote UI, the machine must be connected to a computer over the network. If you do not need to use the Remote UI, you might want to disable the Remote UI to reduce the risk of having your machine controlled remotely over the network by malicious third parties.

0L40-096 Going Digital Scan Only What You Need What if you're scanning a whole page of a newspaper but all you're really interested in is a headline and a photo? Use ScanGear MF. You can select what you want from a preview, and then have the scanner disregard the rest. Otherwise you'll have to use an editing program to crop out everything you don't need.
Page 298 Text normally gets scanned as an image, but you can convert it into text that can also be edited. Select "OCR" as the scan type when you scan with MF Toolbox. The software that comes with this machine will convert any text in the scanned image into text data that you can then edit with a text editor.
