What action is taken to switch compartments on the scanner?

The correct answer involves utilizing the "Compartment drop down" to switch compartments on the scanner. This action is a straightforward method that allows users to navigate through available compartments efficiently. By accessing a dropdown menu, the user can see all compartments listed and select the one they need to switch to with ease. This method enhances usability, as it provides a clear visual of the different compartments in a single interface, making it intuitive for the operator to manage and select the desired compartment.

Other options, while they might refer to different functionalities or settings available within the scanner system, do not specifically relate to the direct action needed to change compartments. The dropdown feature is specifically designed for compartment selection, ensuring a smooth transition between different sections of scanned data.
