Custom: User-defined buttons

There are up to three Custom buttons on the Brother SmartUI Control Center. (NOTE: The number of Custom buttons depends on which Brother model you purchased.) You can set your own preferences and configuration to fit your required application.

To configure a Custom Button right click on the button and then click Configuration. The configuration window will appear. You have four function choices Application, File, OCR and E-mail.

Application: This setting will link the Control Panel button to any button which appears on the PaperPort Send to Bar. Please see the PaperPort help file for more information regarding PaperPort compatible applications.

File: This setting allows you to save a scanned image to any directory on local or network hard disk. You can also select the file format to be used.

OCR: Scanned documents will be converted to editable text files. If you have a third party OCR software package installed on your PC you can select it. The default OCR software is TextBridge which is built into PaperPort 8.0. You can also select the destination word processor and file format for the editable text.

E-mail:Scanned images will be attached to an E-mail message. You can choose which E-mail package to use if you have more than one installed on your system. You can also select the file type for the attachment and create a quick send list of E-mail addresses chosen from your default E-mail address book.
