used for other operations while the scan continues in the background. If, during a scan to the cam- era’s disk drive, the program is exited, the scan will continue until its normal conclusion and cannot be canceled until the ViewFinder™ program is
Attempts to operate the camera or access its disk drive during the completion of a previous scan will result in error messages, since the camera and its disk drive are unavailable until the scan in progress is completed.
Naming the Image
To give the image a title, either for a prescan or a final scan, enter a title in the name field above the 
and 
buttons. By default, the image will have the name “Untitled” until another is entered. The camera File Manager handles up to 63 characters, but most computer operating systems will only allow
the first 31 characters as a file name. This name, along with other image exposure information such as line time, scan area, color balance, and related information, is automatically recorded with each image. All saved images retain this information in the TIFF header, where it can be viewed and edited later (e.g., under Photoshop’s “File Info...” menu item). This information can be viewed by clicking the 
Info button next to the file name.
Automatically Naming Images
Scans may be automatically named with the settings in the Preferences window. When the Use Auto Naming checkbox has been checked, each scan will be named with the prefix specified in the File Name field, followed by an underscore (_) and a number. The beginning value for the suffix is speci- fied in the Starting Number field. The number of digits in the suffix is specified by the Suffix length field. The next scan will have the same File Name, with the starting number plus the Step by value. This continues, with the Step by value being added to the previous numeric suffix, until the program is quit or the Use Auto Naming is unchecked. The Step by interval is very useful for book copying and other applications where the image numbering sequence is
When Auto Naming is used the image name may be reduced by the number of digits in the automatically appended number plus the underscore character to result in a maximum image name length of 63 characters.
