If the images are saved in the BMP, JBIG or JPEG format, each page in the document is saved to the specified destination folder as a separate file. The files are named using sequential numbers (“0001”, “0002”, etc.

NOTE In Semi-auto mode, you can continue scanning simply by pressing the Start key on the scanner. To stop scanning, press the Clear key.
Chapter 3 Using the Scanner Opening a Saved File This section describes how to use Scanning Utility 800 to open a saved file. Scanning Utility 800 can only open TIFF (*.tif), BMP (*.bmp), JPEG (*.jpg) and JBG (*.jbg) files that were saved using Scanning Utility 800. NOTE IMPORTANT 1 If you have opened a TIFF file containing multiple saved pages (multi-page button, TIFF file) and then save the file using [File]–[Save Page As] or the note that only the currently displayed page is saved.
Chapter 3 Using the Scanner 3 Check the scanned image. The [View] menu and Toolbar buttons can be used to check the image. Fit to width: Matches the image width to the width of the window.

Chapter 3 Using the Scanner Other Operations Scanning Utility 800 also provides 2 additional scanning modes: Converter mode and ReaderPrinter mode. Converter Mode Converter mode can be used when an FS Controller III is used as the carrier. In this mode, file names are automatically created from the film address detected by the FS Controller III and scanned images are saved to a specified folder. 1 2 Project an image onto the scanner screen. Click in the Toolbar. The Folder Select dialog box appears.
Chapter 3 Using the Scanner 4 Use the FS Controller III keyboard to perform the scan. File names for image files NOTE If the TIFF format is selected (multi-page TIFF), a folder with the batch address as the name (“00000003B” when the batch address is “3B”) is created in the specified folder, and TIFF files with the file address as the name (“00000009F.tif” when the file address is “9F”) are automatically created in that folder. Multi-page images are then saved to those files.
Chapter 3 Using the Scanner ReaderPrinter Emulation Mode ReaderPrinter Emulation mode, the Scanning Utility 800 software emulates the scanner’s ReaderPrinter mode (➝ P.10 “Operation Modes” in the Microfilm Scanner 800II Instructions). In this mode, the image shown on the screen is printed directly to the printer connected to the computer.
