Getting the Most From Your Scanner

Scanning With the a Start Button

The a Start button opens EPSON Scan—or 
in Windows, you can set it to open another 
application of your choice. If you set it to open 
Photoshop Elements, EPSON Scan launches 
automatically after Photoshop opens. If you 
choose another program, you must start EPSON 
Scan manually after opening the program. 

You can assign multiple applications to the a Start button, but you’ll have to decide 
which program to launch after pressing it. To avoid this, do not assign more than one 
application to the a Start button. 

To set up the a Start button, follow the instructions below for your system.

Note: You cannot choose which application to open on Macintosh systems.
