How do I change my default scan location?

Modifying Default Scan Location

Scanners offer a convenient way to digitize documents, but managing scan destinations can enhance workflow efficiency. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to change the default scan location:

1. Access Scan Settings: Open the scanning software or application associated with your scanner. Usually, this can be found within the “Printers and Scanners” or “Devices and Printers” settings on your computer.

2. Locate Destination Option: Within the scan settings, search for the “Destination” or “Save to” option. This setting may be found under a section labeled “Scan Options” or “File Management.”

3. Browse for New Folder: Click on the “Browse” button next to the Destination field. This will open a File Explorer window.

4. Select New Destination Folder: Navigate to the desired folder where you want to save scanned documents. Create a new folder if needed.

5. Confirm Changes: Once you have selected the new destination folder, click the “OK” or “Save” button to confirm your changes.

Additional Tips:

• For enhanced organization, consider creating specific folders within your preferred destination folder to categorize scanned documents based on project, date, or other criteria.
• Regularly review your scan destination to ensure it has sufficient storage space for your scanning needs.
• If you encounter any issues with changing the default scan location, consult your scanner’s user manual or contact the manufacturer for technical assistance.
