File Name Parts

Output Location

This is the default directory for saving your output files. If this field is empty, the My Documents folder is used as the default directory. Select the folder icon to browse to your desired folder location or enter in the absolute path (for example, C:\My Files) of the directory to be used. If the path entered does not exist, an error message will appear giving you the option to create the new folder now or wait to create the new folder during conversion.

For advanced users and programmers automating the printer, environment variables and registry keys can be used to specify all or part of the output folder, as explained in Using Environment Variables and Registry Keys.

Any changes made to this file name part will be reflected on the Save Options tab.

If you want your images to always use the same filename, enter that name here. Do not include any directory path or file extension information. You can use the folder icon to browse to an existing filename on your computer.
