Export – Writes the scanner log file to the SD card. It will be saved to a folder called “Logfile”.
Clear – Clears the contents of the log file on the scanner.
Backup
The scanner creates an automatic backup of the scanner settings and saves it to the inserted SD
card. This backup is automatically updated with the current scanner settings each time you start a
scan. It includes the current scan profiles, scanning parameters, operators, wallpapers and general
settings.
You can create manual backups of some scanner settings including scanner parameters, operators,
scan profiles, and wallpapers.
The manual backup option creates snapshots of scanner data and helps you to protect it from
accidental loss if your scanner's hardware or storage media fails. It creates a duplicate copy of the
data on your SD card; you can then archive the data on another storage device or modify it with TX5
SCENE software and transfer the modified data back to your scanner.
If you own more than one scanner, you can also transfer operators, scan profiles or wallpapers from
one scanner to another without the need of entering the data individually.
Backup Name – Click to enter the name of the backup package. Data will be saved to the following
directory on your SD card: /Backup/Your_backup_name/.
After having specified the name of the backup folder, select the data you want to backup and then
tap Backup to start the operation.
Note – The number next to each field identifies the number of each item type on the scanner.
