ScanSnap Cloud Settings Window ([Scan settings] Tab)
The ScanSnap Cloud settings window ([Scan settings] tab) consists of the following items:
- [Configure save destination for each document type] checkbox
Selecting this checkbox allows you to specify a cloud storage service for each document type (document, business card, receipt, and photo) and change the scan settings.
Clearing this checkbox saves all scanned images in the same cloud storage service regardless of the document type.
ATTENTIONIn the following cases, document types may not be detected correctly:

Example: Embossed or outlined characters
Documents with characters on a patterned or colored background
Example: Characters overlapping illustrations and diagrams
Documents with characters that are located near illustrations or lines
Documents with a few characters
Documents that are faded or dirty
If the document type is not detected correctly, change the document type of the scanned image.
