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 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. Later, the temporary file of the scanned picture is deleted. The same situation may occur when you scan directly to a printer or scan to a fax application. After a scanned item is printed or faxed, its temporary file is deleted. However, by selecting this Create copies of scanned documents option, you can choose to save permanent copies of the scanned items on your hard drive.

The copies will be saved in the folder specified in the Folder Copy Options section (see the figure on page 73 and the description below).

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 either the Document Management or Storage and CD-R/Woptions are selected because, by default, file copies for those types of Destination Applications are already automatically saved in the folder for copies.

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