In the HP Automatic Image Unload Options window, you can
disable the automatic unload feature. To turn the feature on
again, open the Automatic Image Unload Options file in the
ArcSoft PhotoImpression folder.

The automatic unload software stores your images in a folder
called Macintosh HD:ArcSoft PI:Photos:

date. You can change

only the final folder (the

date) in that path.

Make sure you know where your images are stored on your
computer’s hard disk. By default, images are stored in the
PhotoImpression folder, for example Macintosh HD:ArcSoft
PI:Photos:2002.07.04
. If you ever decide to delete the ArcSoft
PI folder, you must first move your images to another folder. If
you do not, your images will be deleted from the hard disk
when you delete the PhotoImpression folder.
