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
dened or set through the Microtek Scanner Conguration (MSC) utility in your
Windows system or through ScanPotter in your Mac OS X system. For instance,
you can dene 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 rst, 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 i4800 is equipped with six Smart-Touch buttons for easy access
to frequently used scanner functions. To carry out a specic 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 les
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 rst page on the scanner glass surface.
– Press the Copy button to scan an image to a le, then automatically
output to your specied 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 le. 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) le for immediate viewing with the Adobe
Acrobat software.
6. Web: This button scans the image and directly links to your assigned image-
sharing website.
