How the Smart-Touch Scanner Buttons Work
The Smart-Touch buttons on the button panel of your scanner automate frequently
performed tasks, such as Scan to File, Scan to Printer, etc. By pressing any of the
Smart-Touch buttons, you can activate the function associated with that button
quickly and easily.
For each scanner button, the parameters governing the use of that button are defined
or set through the Microtek Scanner Configuration (MSC) utility in your Windows
system or through ScanPotter in your Mac OS X system. For instance, you can define
how many copies are to be printed of your scan every time you hit the “Copy”
button. To launch the MSC utilty, exit ScanWizard EZ first, then double-click the
MSC icon ( ) on your desktop.
Note: Make sure that you have exited ScanWizard EZ program before using scanner
buttons when you are in Windows system; however, if you are using Mac OS X, you
need to activate ScanPotter program before using scanner buttons.
The ScanMaker i2400 is equipped with six Smart-Touch buttons for easy access to
frequently used scanner functions. To carry out a specific task, simply press the
corresponding button on the scanner. The Smart-Touch buttons are:
1. Scan: This button captures images that can be automatically saved as files or sent
to another application for further processing.
2. Copy:This button scans the image and sends it to your printer, transforming your
scanner and printer into a convenient copy station. Simply specify the number of
copies you want.
To use the Copy button to print a stack of documents:
- Place the first page on the scanner glass surface.
- Press the Copy button to scan an image to a file, then automatically output to
your specified printer.
- Load the next page and press the Copy button again. The scanner works in
similar fashion to your printer, printing documents one after another with no
interruptions.
3. E-mail:This button scans the image and delivers it directly to your e-mail editor.
4. OCR: This button performs OCR (Optical Character Recognition) of a document
and converts it to a fully editable digital file. Saves time from retyping documents
into your word processor.
5. PDF: This button captures an image and automatically saves it as an Adobe
Portable Document Format (PDF) file for immediate viewing with theAdobe
Acrobat software.
6. Web: This button scans the image and directly links to your assigned image-
sharing website.
