Saving options
Once an image is imported, it can be saved to a file or to the clipboard. Images can be
saved in two ways:
Manual save: The image is saved to the hard disk or to the clipboard as soon as the user
clicks on the Save button or immediately after the scanning, depending on user settings.
Automatic save: The image is saved to the hard disk in a predefined directory. Saving
can be performed as soon as scanning is complete, or when the next card scanning starts.
Image manual save
The scanned image can be saved manually either to a file on the hard disk, or to the
clipboard. You select the file destination as follows:
Save to clipboard: To save the scanned image to the clipboard, check the ‘Save to
clipboard’ checkbox (See Figure 2 Page 12).
Note that the Save button in the main screen now displays a clipboard icon.
Save to file: To save the scanned image to a file, check the ‘Save to file’ checkbox (See
Figure 2 Page 12).
Note that the Save button in the main screen now displays a diskette icon.
Scan scheme: Select the desired saving scheme (single side, double side or two sides on
the same image. If the latter is selected, you can specify the image layout by clicking on
the Orientation button (Side A above B or B above A).
Default save type: Once Save to File is selected, you can set the default file format in
which the file will be saved, by using the Default save type dropdown list. idScan®
supports seven image file formats: BMP, JPG, PCX, PNG, TIFF, TGA, PSD.
Image auto save
Image auto save is particularly useful for large batch scanning jobs. This option enables
chain-feeding the scanner while image saving is done automatically without user
interference.
Scan scheme: Select the desired saving scheme (single side, double sided, or two sides
on the same image). If the latter is selected, you can specify the image layout by clicking
on the Orientation button (Side A above B or B above A).
Save immediately after scan - Checking the checkbox titled ‘Save immediately after
scan’ will save the image and data immediately after the scan is done.
If the ‘Save immediately after scan’ checkbox is unchecked, the saving will occur on the
next scan job (in the automatic saving option) or when the user clicks on the Save button
(in the manual saving option).
Once the ‘Autosave’ checkbox is checked, the ‘File naming and type’ button is enabled,
and clicking on it opens the ‘AutoSave file naming’ configuration dialog:
