| Button Functions Overview
|
|
|
| Each button on the scanner's panel corresponds to an on-screen scanning button in DocAction program.
|
|
|
| The following button functions are available:
|
|
|
| · | Custom-- Allows you to customize this button 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 this Custom button to also perform File function, in addition to the existing File button.
|
|
|
| · | 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.
|
|
|
| · | Scan-- Scans documents or images to a linked image-editing application programs for viewing or post processing. Alternatively you may set up this button as a hot key to simply launch any application program without scanning action.
|
|
|
| Unlike the File button which simply saves the scanned documents or images to files after the scan is completed, the Scan button not only saves the scanned documents or images to files but also transfer them to a specified image-editing program for you to view or check the scan results.
|
|
|
| · | Copy-- Scans documents or images directly to the printer without saving them to your hard drive, making it ideal for getting a quick copy of a document or image. DocAction transforms your scanner and printer into a convenient office copier.
|
|
|
| · | E-Mail-- Scans documents or images directly to your e-mail program and automatically creates a new message with the image files attached. A copy is automatically saved on your disk drive too.
|
|
|
| Except Custom 1 and Custom 2 buttons, all buttons are permanently assigned to a specific function and cannot be reassigned to a different function.
