	The information in this chapter pertains to Windows users only.

Note Macintosh users can change the scan settings, such as scan resolution and color management, for these buttons. For more information, see Change scan settings.

The customizable buttons provide a fast, efficient way to scan that you can configure for specific scanning jobs that you perform often.

Windows users can configure these buttons to work with HP Photosmart Software or HP Smart Document Scan Software, if both HP scanning programs are installed on the computer. If only one of the programs is installed on the computer, the buttons default to working with that program.

●Open the HP Button Settings Utility

●Configure buttons tab

●General info tab

Configure the customizable buttons for document scanning

If you plan to primarily scan documents, HP recommends that you configure the buttons to work with HP Smart Document Scan Software.

To configure the customizable buttons to operate with HP Smart Document Scan Software, under the Select software for customizable buttons heading, select HP Smart Document Scan Software.

Each scanner button is configured for an HP Smart Document Scan Software profile. The Select button to configure area of the dialog box displays the profile configured for each button.
