THE DEFAULT ONETOUCH SETTINGS ON YOUR SCANNER

Based on the recommended install of PaperPort and the scanner driver, your scanner is pre-configured to scan items for various basic tasks, such as email or fax, then send the scanned image to an appropriate, pre-selected Destination Application. The button names, such as PDF, eMail or Fax, indicate the original factory settings for the Destination Application assigned to a button.

You can change any of these settings. Please see “Configuring the OneTouch

Buttons” on page 45 for instructions.

For example, the eMail button is set up to scan documents then immediately attach them to a new eMail message in your default eMail program. The eMail application will default to the eMail program specified in the internet options of Internet Explorer.

A folder icon for a button, such as shown for Button 7, means that the button is set up to archive the scanned item. This is a special pre- configured Transfer to Storage option for your scanner. The scanner sends the scanned image directly to a folder without opening the image first in a Destination Application.

A question mark for a button means your computer does not have appropriate software for the initial factory settings. In that case, you would probably want to change the name and Destination Application to something else.

If PaperPort, OmniPage or OneTouch OmniPage is not installed, then the options for sending to word processing applications such as Microsoft Word will not be available.

Note: The default page size in each configuration is based on the location selected in your Windows setup.
