Button Functions Overview
The following items are on the scanner's front panel:
·
Up Button
-- press to move forward the scanning task number indicated in
the function number display.
·
Down Button
-- press to move backward the scanning task number
indicated in the function number display.
·
Function Number Display
-- indicates the number of the predifined
scanning task selected by the up or down button.
·
Scan Button
-- press to perform a predefined scanning task selected by
the up or down button.
Each
number of the predefined scanning task selected by the up or down
button
on the scanner's front panel corresponds to an
on-screen scanning
button in MacAction program.
You are allowed to customize all
on-screen
scanning
buttons as any of the available scanning functions (OCR, File, Scan,
Copy, E-Mail
, PDF, FTP
).
For example, if you need to frequently scan paper
documents to files in different folders and/or with different scanning parameters,
you may configure any button to also perform File function, in addition to the
existing File button.
The following scanning functions are available:
·
OCR
-- Scans text documents directly to a text editor or viewer, thus
saving you the time usually needed for retyping. It converts the scanned
images into
an editable text file or a text-searchable pdf file.
·
File
-- Scans documents or images and saves them to files. You may
determine where they are saved and how their files are named to best
meet your needs.
Unlike the Scan button which launches the specified application program
after the scan is completed, the File button simply saves the scanned
documents or images to files and does not send their image data to any
application program, so you don't see the scanning results on screen
immediately after the scan. You will find this button useful if you only
want to digitize your documents or images and don't want to confirm the
scan result right after the scan.
