Thread Name: Tech: Where did my scan go?
Subject: RE: Tech: Where did my scan go?
My old Dell All-in-one used to scan as JPEG so the images ended up in My Pictures unless I moved them elsewhere. My present HP gives you various options of which I use PDF-searchable, and scans go to My Scans as Scan 1, 2, 3, etc. I then rename them, and move to the appropriate folder in My Documents, e.g. Trish's tunes, sub-folder Scottish Tunes. (Most of my scans are music scores!) I use HP's own software from the computer, not from the printer (which does have a scan button).
If I can't find a file later, I'll go to My Documents and type the name in the Search box: you don't have to have the exact file name, as it will pick up any of the key words in the title.
