Auto naming of scan files to a preselect folder

[Dronez01]

When using the HP scan software, it requires me to scan each document and name while saving. Previously I had a Brother scanner and it would scan to a preselected folder and name the file as scan plus a time date stamp. This allowed me to then open the files and edit and/or save as needed. I prefer the HP san quality but prefer the Brother software. Is there an aftmarket software that I can use that will accomplish this or should I reurn my HP printer/scanner and go elsewhere?
