## 7. Edit the default file name

(The blue color of ‘Job No’ and ‘Date and Time’ means that they will show up in the file name. Press those buttons until they are white to turn off the ‘Job No’ and ‘Date and Time’ from the default naming convention. Press the ‘File Name’ button to then change the rest of the default file name.)
