About "Counter" (serial number)
•When the first time you save a file into the image saving folder, which you specify on the [Save] tab, using a name specified in the "File Name" field, the name is suffixed with 1 (it will be 001 if the serial number, or "Counter," is of three digits). The serial number is incremented by one every time you save a new file (until you enter a new file name).
•When another file with the same name exists in the image saving folder, the name is suffixed with the next smallest available number. Example: Suppose Scan01.pdf, Scan03.pdf, and Scan04.pdf already exist in the same folder. When the next time you save the scanned image to files with the same name, the file names will be Scan02.pdf, and then Scan05.pdf, Scan06.pdf, Scan07.pdf....
•When the suffix number becomes greater than the maximum number of specified digits (for example, when you want to save the 100th file with
•When the number of digits for the suffix number is specified with "0", the counter is added to the second and following file names only. Example: If the initial letter of the file is "A" and the number of digits is "0," the file names will be; A.pdf, A1.pdf, A2.pdf, and so on.
