Click Document Scan on the
(Scanning from a Computer) tab to display the Settings (Document Scan) dialog box.
In the Settings (Document Scan) dialog box, you can make advanced scan settings, then set the item size, resolution, etc., as required.
If you plan to scan multiple pages of a document (or multiple documents) to save as a single PDF file, be sure to set the Data Format to PDF (Multiple Pages) in the settings.
After a page has scanned, the screen to continue or end scanning appears.

Do this each time a page has completed scanning. After the last page has been scanned, click Exit.
The Data Format under Save Settings must be set to PDF (Multiple Pages) in order to receive this prompt. If Data Format is set to PDF, you will not receive the prompt above.
