(2) Setting a local device in units of program
Use of the local device can be set for each program, and this function can reduce the scan time. Also, since the
area for saving and restoring data are not required for the programs not using a local device, the local device file
size can be reduced.
(a) Setting method
In addition to the setting in (1) in this section, click the "File Usability Setting" button, and specify the programs
that use the local devices.
