SELECTING NEW OPTIONS FOR THE BUTTONS

You can select a new destination application, conﬁguration, and image

format for a scanner button to optimize it for the type of scanning you

want to do. You use the Conﬁguration dialog box to select new options.

To select new options for a scanner button:

1. Display the Conﬁguration dialog box.

Click the tab of the button whose options you want to change.

2. Scroll the list of applications in the Select Destination list and click

the new application you want to use to view and work with the

scanned image.

3. Click a selection in the Select Conﬁguration list to choose a new

scan conﬁguration for the selected scanner button.

The conﬁgurations in the list are preset for the application you

select in the application list. If you select another application, the

conﬁgurations are for that application.

If you want to scan using the Visioneer Scan Manager Pro, click the

option, Conﬁgure before Scan. Now when you press the selected

scanner button, the Visioneer Scan Manager Pro dialog box appears

ﬁrst and you can use it to scan. See “Scanning an Item with the

Twain Button” on page 37 for details.

4. Select one of the Format and Page(s) options for the button.

5. Click OK.

Now when you press the scanner button, it scans the image using

the new conﬁguration settings and displays the scanned image in

the new destination application.

Note: If you select a word processing program such as Microsoft

WordPad or Microsoft Word and a conﬁguration for OCR, the text

in scanned images is automatically converted to word processing text

by the optical character recognition (OCR) software that you receive

with the scanner. The converted text then appears in the selected

destination application.
