When I scan a document on my MF277dw, I often only get an option of which folder to put the scan into. I don't get an option to name the scanned doc. How do I name it, when the option isn't offered on the screen? I'm using HP Scan and Capture to utilize this function.

Thank You Dragon Fur. My Photo scan was set up correctly, but my doc scan was not. I think I always use photo scan, but my mouse have moved to doc occasionally and that's why it came up with no naming option. Thanks for your input!
