Saving options

Once an image is imported, it can be saved to a file or to the clipboard. Images can be

saved in two ways:

Manual save: The image is saved to the hard disk or to the clipboard as soon as the

user clicks on the Save button or immediately after the scanning, depending on user

settings.

Automatic save: The image is saved to the hard disk in a predefined directory.

Saving can be performed as soon as scanning is complete, or when the next card

scanning starts.

The scanned image can be saved manually either to a file on the hard disk, or to the

clipboard. You select the file destination as follows:

Save to file: To save the scanned image to a file, check the ‘Save to file’ checkbox

Save As dialog box. ScanShell supports seven image file formats: BMP, JPG, PCX,
