3.6 Saving and Recording Images
3.6.1 Saving and Recording Images
It is possible to record images using conventional photo films and printers, and/or as image data
files (to disk or hard drive). There are four methods of image saving:
(1) Taking Photographs (optional photo-recording unit is necessary)
For photographic image recording, you can use Direct Photo recording or Memory Photo
recording.
Refer to <3.6.7 Taking Photographs>
(2) Saving Images
Direct Saving, which saves an image on the scanning Image display, and Captured Image
Saving, which saves captured images, are available.
Refer to <3.6.5 Saving Scanning Image (Direct Save)>
and <3.6.6 Saving Captured Image>
(3) Printing images
Printing images using Windows-supported printers is available.
Refer to <3.9.11 Printing Images using Report Generation function>
(4) Copying images to other application software
Scanning Image can be copied to Windows-clipboard. You can use the image on application
software by simply pasting it.
When the optional PCI image database software is installed, images are transferred directly to
it without saving images.
Refer to <3.9.12 Copy Image>
(5) Image information
Auto data display, and text and graphics written in the image using data entry function is
recorded with the image. A text file including image information such as operating condition,
date and others is created when the image is saved. It is saved in the same directory as of the
image.
NOTICE: For storing images, we suggest use of external storage devices. As the storage
capacity of PC hard drives is generally not large enough for images. Also, external
storage devices are recommended for data backup.
