Great scanner that could use a lot of improvement

This is a great scanner to start with; I bought one and was so impressed with its ease of use and image quality that I bought a second one for another computer. It warms up almost instantly and scans quickly. The image is sharp and there are many file formats that you can save the image in. The software that comes with it is also one of the best I've ever used. It's easy to sort and store documents and images with the software, and purchase includes the full version of the editable text software, which is usually included as a trial period with other scanners that you'll need to purchase separately after the trial period. Period. However, the reason it only got four stars is because of an inconvenience that would be so easy to fix when programming. When you open the scanner software, a screen will appear asking you to specify the file format and where you want to save it, this is normal for scanners. However, you cannot change the default setting for saving an image. Every time you open the scanner, it defaults to the Pictures folder. To move it to another location, all you have to do is click on the folder you want it in, but about 90 percent of the documents I scan are shipping documents, all of which go into a folder called Shipping Documents. Other scanners I've used remember where something was last saved and automatically use that save location as the default. This scanner would definitely be a five star scanner if given the option. A minor annoyance but still a fantastic scanner.
