Storage Capacity
Built-in Disk
The scanner’s built-in disk has approximately 128MB of memory that can be used to
store images. If a memory card is not

inserted, scanned files will automatically be
stored on the built-in disk until it is recognized as full
(i.e., less than 2MB remaining for
the 300 DPI setting, less than 5MB remaining for the 600 DPI setting, and less than
15MB remaining for the 1200 DPI setting).
When the built-in disk is full, you can insert a
memory card to continue scanning or move your scanned images from the built-in disk
to a folder on your computer.
MicroSD™
(with adapter)
and standard SDHC memory cards up to 32GB
are
compatible with the scanner. Using a memory card is recommended for additional
storage capacity; the scanner’s built-in disk will fill up quickly if you are scanning a
collection of items or scanning at a higher resolution. The number of images that can
be stored on a memory card varies by original size and resolution setting, but the table
below shows the
estimated
average number of images that can be stored on a 2GB
memory card:
Folder Structure
The following folder structure is created automatically on the built-in disk and on the memory
card when the first item is scanned to each storage area:
Built-in Disk
PD_SCAN [drive letter]
DCIM
100PHOTO
PDI_0001.jpg
If no memory card is inserted, scanned items are saved to the built-in disk automatically.
If a memory card

folder structure for scans saved to both the built-in disk and the memory card.
inserted, the scanned files are saved to the card.
A new folder is automatically created when the previous folder is filled, per the following
example:
100PHOTO = filled
101PHOTO = created with next scan
101PHOTO = filled
102PHOTO = created with next scan
Scanned Image File Naming Convention
Each scanned image is given a file name with the prefix
PDI_
followed by a 4- digit sequential
number in the order the images are stored
(for example,
PDI_0001.JPG
,
PDI_0002.JPG
, and
so forth).
