ˆOperation

You can operate the scanner using the buttons on the front of the scanner, from your computer screen, or using the supplied PaperPort program.

GETTING HELP

The supplied software includes help information which describes each feature of the software and answers questions about how to configure the buttons for the best scanning result.

To view help, click Help on the USB Scanner Utility Preferences dialog box or on the other dialog boxes you use to select options for the buttons.

USING THE SCANNER’S BUTTONS

To scan a document using the buttons on the front of the scan- ner, open the scan- ner's top cover and place the document facedown on the glass. Then close the cover and press SCAN.

The scanner starts scanning the docu- ment, Scan: PaperPort Desktop appears, and a window displays the scanning progress.

Note: If you are using the scanner for the first time or if it has not warmed up yet, the scanner automatically warms itself up for about 45 seconds before

scanning. A confirmation message appears while the scanner is warming up.

When the scan is complete, the scanned image is transmitted to the preset destination or a destination you select (see “Default Button Settings” on Page 10).

USING THE SCANNER ICON

Operating the scanner from the screen is just like pressing a scanner button, except you click the button on the screen. This scanning method is especially helpful if the scanner is not located close to your computer.

Follow these steps to scan using the scanner icon on the screen.

1.Open the document cover and place the object to scan facedown on the glass. Then close the cover.

2.Click the scanner icon on the Win- dows taskbar. The USB Scanner Utility dialog box appears.

3.Click Scan. The scanner starts scan- ning the object, a message appears just above the Windows taskbar, and a window shows the scanning progress.

4.When the scanner has finished scanning, it sends the image either to the printer to print, or to another program you have loaded on your computer, depending on the current software settings.
