#288 how to change the default destinations using the scanner button?

[Alessandro Barisone]

I have registered icopy to the scanner, so it starts when using the scanner button.
But I always get a copy on the printer, while I'd like to save a pdf (or jpg)

How can I do this?

Kind regards

Dear Alessandro,

to change the behavior of iCopy when pressing the scanner button you have to edit the Windows registry. You can find on this page the relevant keys. You need to change the command line parameter from /copy to /file or /pdf or to the command that best suits you, according to the readme file. If you prefer to have iCopy in windowed mode, simply remove any command line argument and leave only icopy.exe

a small tip: if you want to pass to iCopy only the folder path and let the application define the file name automatically each time you press the scan button, you should add a \ sign at the end of the path.
Otherwise, iCopy will attempt to save to the given folder as if it was a file and would fail with a permission error.
