The DSmobileSCAN II is such an application.

3 Using Scanning Software 3 DSmobileSCAN II (Windows® Only) 3 This software supports Adobe® Acrobat® PDF, JPEG, and TIFF. Note that only PDF format files can be saved as multiple pages. JPEG and TIFF files will be stored as separate files with index numbers added to the filename (except for the first page). Using DSmobileSCAN II as Your Default 3 3 The advantage of using DSmobileSCAN II as your default is that as a default program it provides the ability to scan automatically.
Using Scanning Software A Note about Document Names 3 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.
Using Scanning Software TWAIN (FOR WINDOWS®) 3 The TWAIN driver for the DSmobile 700D is automatically installed when the Installation DVD installs the Windows® drivers. This TWAIN driver defines communication and data structures between software applications on your PC and the DSmobile 700D.
Using Scanning Software If the software you have chosen uses the TWAIN interface instead of the application software interface, the TWAIN control panel (shown below) will appear. The TWAIN interface will allow you to control all the settings of the scanner. This type of “fine-adjustment” may be required for some of your document scanning needs. 3 Please notice the Page Tabs at the top of the TWAIN control panel; they are: Pre-defined Setting, Custom Settings, and Information.
Using Scanning Software PageManager® 9 (For Windows®) 3 This program makes it easy to scan, share, and organise your photos and documents. It helps you not only convert piles of paper into organised digitised files, but also lets you view, edit, send, and back-up files in many formats. To install PageManager®, see PageManager® 9 Installation (For Windows®) uu page 5. Refer to the “help” file included with this program for further use instructions.
