You can scan to a folder, scan to email, scan to your PC fax modem, or scan to an application, as explained in the following sections. Scanning Scanning to a folder The first Scan To menu destination is a folder on your PC. This is initially your My Pictures folder, located in your My Documents directory. You can change your folder and default file type with the A3000 settings utility. Once scanned, the files will be given the filename of Month - Day - ###. ext, where ### indicates the number of the image scanned that day. For example, the second image scanned on May 1 would be named May-01-002. JPG. The file extension depends on the file type selected for your scan. 23 Getting Started Guide Scanning to email The second Scan To menu destination is your email program. This option will scan documents directly into your email program, and either convert the document to text for editing, or attach the documents as graphic images. To use this option, you must have an email program installed on your computer, and it must support MAPI (a mail application interface). Most popular email programs support the MAPI interface. By default, the text file type TXT is used when scanning to email. This will convert your scanned documents to ASCII text and place the text in your email program for editing. If you select another file type with the A3000 settings utility, your documents will be scanned using the file type you choose and attached to your email message.
