Scanning From the Operation Panel

7. Scanning

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)

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.
