# Export batches

> Export scanned batches to a local folder, FTP folder, ABBYY FlexiCapture, or a script, and set sending options for export scenarios in Scanning Station.

After scanning is finished and the images are separated into documents and batches, you can save the batches to a local folder or an FTP folder, send them to FlexiCapture, or export them with a script.

When you export to a local folder or an FTP folder, the Scanning Station creates an XML description file with information about the batch: its name, type, registration parameters, and documents. You can later import this file into FlexiCapture.

## Set up export options

Each export scenario has its own options.

To set up export options, select **File → Sending Options...** and click the tab for the scenario you need:

* [Send to Folder](/flexi-capture/scanning-station/shared/interface/export-to-folder-options)
* [Send to FTP](/flexi-capture/scanning-station/shared/interface/export-to-ftp-options)
* [Send to ABBYY FlexiCapture](/flexi-capture/scanning-station/shared/interface/export-to-fc)
* [Send Using Script](/flexi-capture/scanning-station/shared/interface/export-to-script-options)

You can also set export options for each [batch type](/flexi-capture/scanning-station/shared/interface/batch-type-properties). To set up background export options, use the [Sending Tasks](/flexi-capture/scanning-station/interface/options-export-page) tab of the **Options** dialog box.

## Delete batches automatically after export

The Scanning Station can delete completed batches automatically after a successful export, to keep the Batches window uncluttered. To enable this, select **Delete batch automatically after sending** on the [General](/flexi-capture/scanning-station/interface/options-general-page) tab of the **Options** dialog box (**Tools → Options...**).

## Cancel an export

To cancel exporting a batch, right-click it and select **Cancel Export** on the shortcut menu.
