SCANNING PAPER ITEMS FROM THE BUTTON PANEL ON THE SCREEN
Scanning from the button panel on the screen is just like pressing a scanner button, except you click the button on the screen. The scanner scans the item, and then sends the image either to the printer, or to a software application on your computer. This method of scanning is especially helpful if the scanner is not located close to your computer.
To scan from the screen:
1.Place an item to scan on the glass, face down, close the document cover, and click the scanner icon on the Windows taskbar.
The scanner button panel appears on the screen.
2.Click the button you want to use to scan.
The scanner starts scanning the item. When the scan is complete, the scanned image appears in the destination application.
3.To close the button panel, click the scanner icon in the panel’s upper left corner.
The icons on the buttons indicate the destination application for the scanned image. For example, in the illustration above, the icon on the email button is for the email application, MS Outlook. When you click the email button, the item is scanned, and then MS Outlook opens. In this case, the scanned image automatically becomes an attachment to send with an email message.
A question mark icon on a button means your computer does not have an application that corresponds to that button’s functions. For example, if your computer does not have an email application, the email button will have a question mark icon on it.
