Using the a Start Button

You can load a document in the scanner, press the a Start button, and watch while the assigned application starts and then scans your document.

This section shows you how to set up the a Start button to launch an application which supports this feature.

The a Start button features described in this chapter are only available when you use EPSON TWAIN HS to access a scanner connected to your computer and you are running Windows Me, Windows 2000, or Windows 98. If you are running Windows 95 or Windows NT, the

aStart button is disabled.

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

Setting Up the a Start Button

If you’re running Windows Me, Windows 2000, or Windows 98, whenever you press the a 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 a Start button.
