File Name
You can enter a file name for the document when sending or storing to e-mail, I-fax, server, or mail box. When you store in a mail box, the file name is for the document in the mail box.
IMPORTANT
If you use characters such as ",", "/", "[", or "]" in the document name, you may not be able to send the file to file servers that run on operating systems that do not recognize such characters.

[Auto(OCR)]:
You can select [Auto(OCR)] only when sending to e-mail or server.
When PDF (OCR) or XPS (OCR) is set as the file format, set [Auto(OCR)] to 'On' to automatically extract the first text block in the document for use as its filename. You can set the number of characters that are extracted for [Auto(OCR)] in <No. of OCR File Name Characters> in OCR (Text Searchable) Settings in Generate File in Common in Function Settings (Settings/Registration). (See "Settings for Creating Searchable PDF/XPS.")
The first text block extracted from the first page of the document is automatically set as the document name. Characters such as ",", "/", "[", or "]", which are invalid when sending a file, will not be extracted.
If a document name is already entered, the extracted text is appended to the end of the filename. Characters over the character limit will be cut off.
The encrypted PDF mode and [Auto(OCR)] cannot be set at the same time.
NOTE
When you are sending documents, each page is sent as a separate image attached to an e-mail message or a separate TIFF image attached to the I-fax, and the extension of the document matches the file format that you select for sending. The file name prefix of the image attached to the e-mail message or I-fax is assigned as follows:
If you set the file name:
The file name prefix is generated by the file name and three digits that signify the page number of the image.
Example: file name_002.tif
If you do not set the file name:
The file name prefix is generated by the job number (0001 to 4999) and three digits that signify the page number of the image.
Example: 1231_002.tif
When you are sending documents, each page is sent as a separate image and stored in a file server. The extension of the document matches the file format that you select for sending. The file name prefix of the image attached to the document you are sending is assigned as follows:
If you set the file name and Divide into Pages is turned on:
The file name prefix is generated by the file name, the year, month, day, hour, minute, and second the file is sent, and the five digits that signify the page number of the image.
