You can rename a file of the scanned original if necessary (using up to 30 characters).
When you do not change the file name, the file name is automatically assigned according to the rule of "Initial of the function" + "Device Name" + "Date" + "sequential number" + "Page Number" + "File extension". A file name consists of the following information:
Item | Description |
---|---|
Initial of the function | Indicates the mode used for scanning data.
|
Device Name | The name of this machine registered in [Utility] - [Administrator Settings] - [Administrator/Machine Settings] - [Input Machine Address] - [Device Name]. |
Date | Indicates the date and time when the original was scanned. For example "11050115230" means that the file was scanned on May 1, 2011, 15:23. The last digit (0) indicates the order when file conversion is performed multiple times in a certain minute. If file conversion is performed twice between 15:23 and 24, the last digit appears as 231 and 232. |
Sequential number | A sequential number is given when a multi-page original is converted by page, and the number indicates the page number of original data. Page numbers are automatically included in the file name when the file is saved or sent. Consider this part for FTP or other transmission when a FTP server has restriction regarding file names. |
File extension | Extension of the file to be saved. An extension is automatically included in the file name when the file is saved or sent. |
The following characters may be garbled depending on the destination environment; therefore, we recommend that you do not use them in a file name.
< > : * ? " / \ |
