A Note about Document Names You can use a suffix with file names to add either an index number or a date. If you append the filename with a “%n”, the file name is appended with a sequential number beginning with 1 (if a previous file exists, the number is incremented to the next highest number). If you append the file name with a “%d”, the file name is appended with a date in the form YY-MM-DD.
TWAIN (FOR WINDOWS) The TWAIN driver for the DSmobile 600 is automatically installed when the Installation CD installs the Windows drivers. This TWAIN driver defines communication and data structures between software applications on your PC and the DSmobile 600.

PageManager®7 (For Windows) This program makes it easy to scan, share, and organize your photos and documents. It helps you not only convert piles of paper into organized digitized files, but also lets you view, edit, send, and back-up files in many formats.
