to perform various scanning functions.
With MacAction, you don't need to adjust settings every time you scan. Simply
press any button on the scanner's front panel or click any scanning menu item
of MacAction on the screen. The scanner starts to scan your paper documents
and transfer them to your assigned destination. The destination can be a
printer, your e-mail program, files on your disk drives, an image-editing
program, etc.
