Epson 1640XL Using the ] Start Button, Setting Up the ] Start Button

Using the ] Start Button

You can load a document in the scanner, press the ] Start button, and watch while Presto! PageManager starts and then scans, copies, faxes, or e-mails your document.

This section includes the following:

■How to set up the ] Start button to launch other applications

■How to set up Presto! PageManager for one-touch scanning.

To use the ] Start button with a network scanner, the client computer must start both the host application and EPSON TWAIN Pro Network. Pressing the ] Start button sends the scanned image to the client computer currently connected to the scanner server, but does not automatically launch any applications.

When EPSON Scan Server is running, the Expression 1640XL connected to the scanner server becomes a network scanner available only to remote users. The scanner server cannot use the ] Start button features described in this chapter, which are only available to a local scanner.

Setting Up the ] Start Button

If you didn’t install Presto! PageManager, you need to assign an application to the ] Start button before you use it the first time.

If you’re running Windows 2000 or Windows 98, whenever you press the ] Start button you’ll see a window asking you to choose which application to launch. To avoid this window, make sure that only one application is assigned to the ] Start button. Continue with the next section, “Windows 2000 and Windows 98.”
