Appendix D: The Quick Panel Utility...
When the Quick Panel is started up successfully, the Quick Panel icons appear.
The Quick Panel icons and their functions are:
Copy: Scans a document (image or text) and sends it to a designated printer.
1
Fax: Scans text and sends it through your fax software to a designated
2
destination.
3 Disk File: Scans a document (image or text) and saves it to a designated
directory in your hard drive.
Clipboard: Scans a document (image or text) and saves it to the Microsoft
4
Windows clipboard.
Application: Automatically opens an image-editing application (such as
5
Adobe Photoshop) from where an image can be acquired for scanning.
Using the Quick Panel
Using the Quick Panel is simple and straightforward: Simply click on an icon
in the Quick Panel, and the icon's function (described above) is carried out.
For instance, clicking on the Copy icon activates a process in which the scanner
scans whatever document is in the scanner and sends the document ("copies" it)
to the printer. Quick Panel is smart enough so that when you run it even during
the first time, it automatically searches your system and obtains the information
necessary for the program to run properly.
Thus, if you have only one printer and it's attached to LPT1 (printer port 1), this
is automatically detected by Quick Panel, so that when you use the Copy
function, Quick Panel knows it should send the document to LPT1. Likewise, if
you have a fax software and click on the Quick Panel's fax icon to activate the
fax-transmission process, Quick Panel is smart enough to know which fax
software you have.
There will be times, however, when you wish to change your setup (e.g., use
another printer, use another fax software). This is when you need to set up or
change the parameters of Quick Panel. The rest of the manual is devoted to
discussing this subject. If you don't need to change any of the parameters, you
can skip the rest of the material and start enjoying Quick Panel.
