Good to know

How files are saved

  • When the original is in the automatic feeder, the data saves in a single file on the flash drive.

  • When the original is on the platen glass:

    • For JPEG format, one file per item scanned is saved on the flash drive.

    • For PDF or Compact PDF format: After the scan, a confirmation screen asks if you want to continue.
      To continue, load the next original on the glass. This scan is added to the file. You can save up to 100 pages in one PDF file.
      To stop, press the left Function button. The scan saves as one PDF file.
