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 (see the figure on page 59 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/W options are selected because, by default,
file copies for those types of Destination Applications are already
automatically saved in the folder for copies.
Likewise, the option is also not available for the default setting of
Buttons 1 (Scan), 2 (PDF), and 7 (Archive) because they are set as
Transfer to Storage with the Destination Application type set as
Storage and CD-R/W.
Folder Copy Options—This section of the dialog box sets the
location for copies of your scanned documents and how you want
to group them.
All copies of your scanned documents, regardless of type of
Destination Application, are saved in this folder.
