|
| File Name
|
| You are allowed to name the saved files in two ways:
|
| · | using the "Date and Time" format; or
|
| · | using customized prefix and numbering scheme.
|
|
|
| You can see the file naming example on screen--near the bottom of this dialog box--immediately after you make any adjustments. The file name extension is automatically added according to the file format you set up.
|
|
|
| Date and Time
|
| If you choose to name the saved files in Date and Time format, you may use either option as follows:
|
|
|
| Use operating system setting
|
| Files are named according to the date and time setting of the operating system of your computer. You may access Control Panel of your operating system to view or permanently modify your current date and time setting.
|
|
|
| User-defined
|
| This setting allows you to customize the date and time naming format for your current need. The data and time setting of your operating system remains unchanged.
|
|
|
| Custom
|
| The prefix and the numbering scheme are combined to form the file name. Choose this one if you want to have DocAction automatically save scanned images in a consistent naming and numbering pattern.
|
|
|
| Prefix
|
| The text you enter here will become the file name prefix.
|
|
|
| Numbering Scheme
|
| The successive numeral will be appended at the end of the file name (right after the prefix). This setting allows you to retain the original page numbers of your paper documents on your digitized image files. The numbering scheme consists of the following criteria:
|
| Start with-- Enter the numeral you want to start with.
|
| Pad-- Click the up/down arrow button to select the number of padded zeroes to insert (from 2-9).
|
|
|
| Overwrite the file of the same name
|
| What if a file with the same file name and file extension combination happens to already exist in the assigned saving folder? DocAction offers you two options as follows:
|
| · | Tick this check box  and have DocAction overwrite the existing file with the newly-scanned image.
|
| · | Clear this check box  and have DocAction not only save the newly-scanned image to file according to your customized prefix and numbering scheme but also append the date and time of your operating system at the end of the file name. For example, if the file "News clipping_027.jpg" is found to already exist in the destination folder, the newly scanned paper will be saved as "News clipping_027_20130126100355.jpg" in which the numeral 20130126100355 stands for year-month-date-hour-minute-second.

|
| Tick the check box to enable the function of Prompt for confirming file name prefix. After this function is enabled, the dialog page of Confirm File Name Prefix will appear on the screen when you try to scan documents by the Scan button of DocAction's Execute Menu. In the page of Confirm File Name Prefix, you are able to modify and confirm the saving folder as well as the file name prefix.
|
|
|
| Display the dialog after each scan to confirm file name prefix
|
| Tick the check box to display the dialog after each scan to confirm file name prefix. After this function is enabled, the dialog page of Confirm File Name Prefix will appear on the screen when you try to scan documents by the Scan button of DocAction's Execute Menu. In the page of Confirm File Name Prefix, you are able to modify and confirm the saving folder as well as the file name prefix.

You are recommended to check existing files in the saving folder before configuring the file name format here, and make sure there are no existing files having the same file name and file extension combination.
