SELECTING NEW SETTINGS FOR A BUTTON 93

Create copies of scanned documents—Sometimes the image of a scanned document is only saved as a temporary file until its Destination Application is finished using it. In those cases you may or may not want an additional, permanent copy saved on your hard drive.

For example, if you scan a picture to an email application, the scanned image is saved as a temporary file, then attached to the email, and the email is sent. But because you already have the original picture, you may not want to also save a permanent file of that image as well. The same situation may occur when you scan directly to a printer or scan to a fax application. You already have the paper version (and in the case of a printer, you would have two paper copies—the original and the scanned printed version) so there’s no need for an electronic file too. However, by selecting this Create copies of scanned documents option, you can choose to save permanent copies of those types of images on your hard drive.

The copies will be saved in the folder specified in the Folder Copy Options section.

You can selectively choose the types of Destination Applications that will have their scanned images saved permanently. For example, if your computer is connected to multiple printers and fax machines, each one is considered a separate Destination Application. By selecting the Fax and Print box and clicking the Create copies of scanned documents option, every scanned document you fax or print from the scanner is also saved as a permanent file on your hard drive.

This option is not available if Document Management or Storage and CD-R/Ware selected because, by default, file copies for those types of Destination Applications are already automatically saved.

For that reason, this option is not available if the Destination Application is PaperPort because it is Document Management software.

Likewise, the option is also not available if the Destination Application is set to Transfer to Storage because it uses Storage and CD-R/Wsoftware.
