Useful info from (c) Microsoft:

You can crop an image before scanning it by clicking Preview in the New Scan dialog box. In the preview area, drag the handles of the cropping tool to resize the image.

Some scanners can save individual documents or photos placed on the scanner bed as separate files on Windows 10. If your scanner has that capability, you can select the Preview or scan images as separate files check box. If your scanner doesn't have the capability, this option will be unavailable.

Scanned documents and photos in Windows 10 are stored in the Documents folder under Scanned Documents. If you create a new folder in the Windows 10 Scanned Documents folder, it won't appear in the Scan view until you close and reopen Windows Fax and Scan, or collapse and then expand the list of folders.

To change the default file name for a scanned document or photo, right-click the file name in the Scan view, and then click Rename.

To organize your scanned documents or photos on Windows 10, right-click the Scan folder in the left pane, and then click New Folder. To move a scanned document or photo to a folder, right-click the document, click Move to Folder, and then select the destination on Windows 10 OS.

You can automatically forward scanned documents to an e‑mail address or a Windows 10 network folder. To choose a forwarding option, click the Tools menu, and then click Scan Routing. Select your preferred option, enter the details, and then click Save on you Windows 10 PC.

2.) Problems with Fax and Scan on Windows-10! 

Sometimes, it can happen that the function, which is responsible for the Windows FAX and Scan, disappears at once with Windows 10, for example at big update of Windows or some new installation of Software!

The Solution: ... Fax and Scan is gone at once, Windows (10, 8.1)!



3.) Create WFS shortcut on the Windows 10 desktop!

Please start the MS-Explore from Window 10 Run Command (Windows+R)  and enter the  command:
