All TWAIN-compatible devices will automatically appear in the SOTA Cloud dropdown menu regardless of these settings. This includes: - Printers - Scanners - Other non-dental imaging devices If you see unexpected devices in your SOTA Cloud dropdown (like office printers or document scanners), these are likely TWAIN devices that cannot be filtered through this setting. ### Best Practices - **Regularly review your device list** when adding or removing hardware - **Test your settings** by checking the dropdown in SOTA Cloud after making changes - **Keep only essential devices enabled** to maintain the cleanest interface possible -
