Automatic File Name Options

Output drop-down menu > Properties > Image File tab > Automatic file name > Options

Automatically name your captures, eliminating the need to stop after each capture to name the file and select the location to save the file. You can also create a unique file naming scheme and save it with a profile, making capturing even more convenient and customized.

Options apply to Image and Printer capture mode.
