Changing default scanning settings

[jmt356]

To scan a file, I right-click on the Canon MG2500 icon and select Start Scan. In the window that appears, "Preview or scan images as separate files" is ticked by default. How can I change the default so that it is never ticked? 

My images always scan as JPGs. Is it possible to have them scan as PDFs? I thought I could achieve this by selecting Documents under Profile, but the following error appears when I try that: "Failed to initialize selected paper source."

Hi,

I have Windows 8.1  so would you please provide a step by step to change scan options to pdf rather than the jpeg and other options in the default settings?  I attempted to follow your directions for Windows 10 but I wasn't comfortable with what I was navigating in.  

This is for the TS8320 I just purchased and set up.

Thank you much.

Hi jmt356,

If you would like to save a scan as PDF, please use the "Document" button on the IJ Scan Utiltiy. This button is set to save as PDF by default.
