This will largely be determined by the App from which you are attempting to scan a document. For example:


  • If using the Files App, the scanned documnent is saved in the location from which the scan is intiated.


  • When scanning from the Mail App, the scanned document is inserted directly within the Mail message that you are composing.


  • For Notes, the scan is saved directly to the currently open Note.
