One thing the PageScope Mobile App does allow you to do is scan back to your mobile device were AirPrint

This is something her predecessor didn't believe in and saw thru all of the hype. If anyone knows of a way to compete with these "unbelievable deals" please let me know.

King of backwards in my mind. I haven't quite found the practicality of it other than making everything "look" like a tablet. If they could make it as functional as the new Samsung 10.1 tablet on the MFP's it may become more practical. Just my $0.02
