Control Form
Overview
The Compaq Control Form is a paper document that you can use to give instructions to your A1500. You can mark it with a pencil or pen and feed it into the scanner. The A1500 software will then read your instructions and execute them.
A Printed Control Form
A triangle identifies the default settings. If the settings are the settings you want, you do not need to recheck these boxes.
A Control Form can be used more than once and you can use it to perform a variety of operations simultaneously. For example, if you wanted to make a paper copy of a document and store an image of that document on your computer, you could do both of these operations at once on a single Control Form. You could also reuse that form each time you want to do a similar job.
You may want to print several copies. Keeping a supply of printed Control Forms available will save time when you are ready for the A1500 to perform a task.
Control Form provides an easy way to work with your A1500. It is particularly useful if you need to do several things with one document.
For example:
•Check the scan box to store a scanned image on your hard drive in the format of your choice
•Check applicable boxes in the FAX section to automatically send a document to any previously defined Speed Send entry in the Control Form.
•Check a combination of Fax, Copy, and Scan boxes on the Compaq Control Form to perform several operations at once.
Printing a Control From
To print a Control From, make sure the scanner input tray is empty. Then simply press the Control Form button on the A1500 control panel.
Once a Control Form has printed, you can use a check mark to identify the operations (fax, copy, or scan) you want to perform. Any kind of mark will work…you can use an X or just scribble in the box.
Using a Control Form
Using a Control Form is easy. Once you have printed one out, simply check the boxes for the operations you wish to perform and follow these steps:
1.When you have made your selections, put the document that you want to fax, copy, or scan behind the Control Form.
2.Place the Control Form and documents face down in the document input tray with the top of the document facing down.
3.Press the Control Form button on the control panel to perform the selected operations.
You can only use the Control Form when the A1500 is attached to a PC, and the PC is on and available.
