Scans & Foxit Reader

[derekpara]

I simply want to scan some photos to my ' Pictures' folder on my pc so that I can use Faststone Image viewer on them to crop etc. I've done this many times before but for some reason the scan now goes to Foxit Reader pdf and I can't send photos to Faststone.
It used to be really easy; scan photo to doc/pictures, 'Open With '.. Faststone, job done. Please help. Never used Foxit Reader before.

I've recently had Windows 10 installed and my printer is a Brother DCP-J774DW

Cheers.

How are you using scan in W10? Try typing in the 'Search' box "scan" and choose Windows Fax and Scan. When the program starts choose new scan and set your parameters.

Thanks, SA. Windows 10 is the the operating system on my pc and my printer is a Brother as above. I press 'Scan' on the printer screen and am given the option of scanning to USB or pc, so obviously I choose pc and the image goes straight to Foxit Reader pdf. All I want is to scan photos to PC/documents/pictures etc from where I can manipulate it with Faststone before emailing it as an attachment.
I've tried your suggestion and 'Windows Fax & Scan' does not appear, only Brother Print and Scan - wich I've not had time to investigate yet.

Thanks.

At Section 4 you need to follow the instruction shown as 'to change the settings'. (i.e. DON'T press 'Start')

In Section 5 you can select the file type. You need to ensure that 'Jpeg' is selected, and not 'PDF' (which is what you're getting by default at the moment).
