Scanning From the Operation Panel

Scanning From the Operation Panel

You can scan directly from the machine by selecting scan mode and then one of six scan menus on the operation panel.

To scan from the operation panel, Button Manager must be installed on your computer and must be running. Button Manager starts automatically when you start your computer and runs in the background. The Button Manager icon appears on the Windows taskbar.

Before you can scan from the operation panel, Button Manager must be selected to handle scanner events as explained on the following page.

Six scan menus (SC1 to SC6) are available on the machine. Each scan menu is linked to an application on your computer. When you begin scanning after selecting one of the scan menus, the application linked to that scan menu automatically starts on your computer and the image is scanned into that application.

The scan menus are initially linked to the following applications:

SC1:

Sharpdesk

SC2:

E-mail

SC3:

FAX

SC4:

OCR (Optical Character Recognition)

SC5:

Microsoft Word

SC6:

Filing (save as a file on your hard disk)

Important:

To use the FAX application, you must have a fax driver installed on your computer. The fax driver must be specified in the scan menu settings in Button Manager as explained on page 129.

To use the OCR application, you must have an OCR program installed on your computer. The OCR program must be specified in the scan menu settings in Button Manager as explained on page 130.
