Hi, in order to scan to your computer, you'll need to create a shared folder on your hard drive.  (Specific instructions will depend on what operating system your computer has.)  Generally, what you'll want to do is create a folder on your C: drive, enable Sharing for the folder, and make sure the group Everyone has permission to modify the folder and its contents.  Once you've done that, create a new address book entry on the copier (User Tools/Counter > System Settings > Administrator Tools > Address Book Management > New Program) and provide a name for the destination, then go to the Folder tab and either browse to your folder or enter the path manually.  (If your computer requires a user name and password to access it, you'll have to enter these as well so the copier can access your computer.)

That will enable scanning to your computer, and on the Scanner screen of the copier you can select PDF files instead of TIFFs.
