How do I set the default folder in which to save scans? (MX 850)

[Exhigits]

I am trying to set the default location where scanned documents / images get saved from a MX850.

 In MP Navigator (ver 1.1, downloaded and installed today) I have gone to 'Preferences' and under the 'Scanner Button Tab'  I have set the 'Save in' folder to the folder I want (C:\...\Scanned Stuff) and have ticked the box to say 'save to a subfolder with current date' .

I have repeated this process for each possible event;

• 'Save to PC',
• 'Save as PDF file',
• 'Attach to email'
• and 'Open with application'

Under the 'General' tab I have also set the 'Save in (My Box)' path to the same location  (C:\...\Scanned Stuff).

Now... Opening MP navigator correctly shows me files inside C:\...\Scanned Stuff and scanning via the MP navigator software correctly saves new scans in that location.

However, Doing a scan of any sort by pressing the physical scan button on the printer front panel always saves the scan in the location C:\Users\MyName\Pictures\MP Navigator EX  (using a subfolder of the current date).

How can I make the physical scan button save in the location I have set up in MP navigator?

I used the IJ utility that came with my TS6300 printer/scanner.  When I save a scanned file in a folder of my choosing, the utility also saves the image in my documents folder.  How can I eliminate saving in the documents folder?

Hi Exhigits.

You will need to access the Scanner Button settings within the MP Navigator:

To view this screen, select Preferences on the main MP Navigator window:

I hope this information is helpful.

Hi Islandman.

Please confirm if you are changing the folder information in Section B or Section C of the Settings screen:

We look forward to your reply.

In section B I changed the file name, I changed documents to the specific file in a folder under documents and I changed  data format to single/multiple pages as appropriate. In doing that the document I scanned appears in both Documents as an IMG file and in the subfolder as the file I named.
