How do I save multiple pages in one file, or save one file per
page?
When scanned images are saved in BMP (PICT) or JPEG format,
each image is always saved in a separate file.
When scanned images are saved in PDF or TIFF format, you can
specify multi- or single-page files. See also “Problem 9” in “Common
Problems and Solutions”.
Can I copy or back up scanner setting configurations?

Up/Restore] on the [Basic settings] tab on the [Environmental settings]
dialog box

Scanner setting configurations cannot be copied or backed up in

What rules apply to scanned image file names?
For both Standard Scanning and Scanning Shortcut, the file names of
scanned images are set based on the settings in the [Select output]
panel. This screen opens when you click the Edit button ([
]) in the
[Select document] panel.
Click the [Detail Settings] button on this screen. You can set the file
names of scanned images by setting all or some of the three items
shown below.
A sample file name is displayed as the [File name] in the [File name
settings] dialog box.

scanned images are saved can be set and then applied during
scanning. For details, see the “Operating Guide” or help of
