Re: Taskbar program HDD LED/indicator for MX?

GKrellM (although a separate dock utility) might also be worth a look. You can slim it down via settings and remove unwanted modules to leave just your target info, HDD in particular, positioning conveniently on a desktop, giving a tacho/digital-like output.

Re: Cannot scan to PC [Solved]

This probably belongs in a quick start Frequently Asked Dohs file, to be fair :happy: *Trying my scan options via the device itself reports no communication, so I would recommend the scan from MX ap...
