As for the timestamped file, that is a good idea and would be easy. Could integrate it into the script. I’ll see what I can do. If your scanner doesn’t have software youcould still keep the script running and just hit enter. Stay posted, might have a new one up this Sunday.

I’m interested in doing something similar, which is scanning into a timestamp-named file any time a document is loaded, and wait otherwise. Any idea if that’s possible? I’m guessing it would rely on the hardware supporting that feature, but don’t know what it would be called.
