ABOUT THE ONETOUCH BUTTON PANEL’S NAMES AND ICONS

The button names, such as Email or OCR, indicate the original factory settings for a button. For example, the Email button is set up to scan documents and then immediately attach them to a new email message in Microsoft Outlook Express. But you can change the Destination Application as well as the other aspects of the button.

A question mark for a button means your computer does not have appropriate software for the initial factory settings. For example, if your computer does not have a printer attached, the Copy button icon will have a question mark in it. In that case, you would probably want to change the button’s Destination Application to something else. For instance, if you scan a lot of documents that have faint images, such as hand-drawn sketches in light pencil, you might want to change the button’s Destination Application to Microsoft Paint, or some other drawing program. Then, when you click the Copy button, the scanned image is sent to Microsoft Paint as its Destination Application.

See “Configuring the OneTouch Buttons” on page 46 to change the settings of the buttons on the OneTouch Button Panel.

SCANNING FROM THE PAPERPORT SOFTWARE

Instead of using a scanner button, you can scan directly from the

PaperPort software. To scan a transparency you must scan from the

PaperPort software or other TWAIN software; see “Scanning 35mm

Slides and Negatives” on page 32.

You can also scan directly with other software that meets the TWAIN standards for scanning, which includes many graphics and imaging applications. Refer to the user’s guides you received with those applications for their specific steps to scan.

Note: If your computer uses the Windows XP or ME operating system, you can also scan using the Microsoft WIA software. See “Scanning with the Windows Image Acquisition” on page 42 for details.
