Hi Mario,
I've never run into the problem
you're pointing out, but I believe the website has a more options selection
also. The best way to find out is to experiment by running a scan to see

Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Go dodgers! I believe that everything happens for a reason. Usually, the reason is that somebody screwed up.
