    Capacitive Touchscreen User Manual H12 / SCAMAX® 8x1 - Version 2019.12 4.2.3. Event List Many scan-profiles use scan-time events to control or trigger func- tions. This is particularly true in the case of Stream Control (see chapter 4.6.2.5.4.) or the control of paper Output (see chapter 4.6.3.3.). Scan-time events are also used for the extended activation of more complex func- tions such as Double Feed Detection (see chapter 4.6.4.1.) or Annotations (see chapter 4.6.6.).
