How the Scanner Buttons Work

The ScanMaker i300 is equipped with 7 Smart-Touch buttons (+1 Power button) for
easy access to frequently used scanner functions. The Smart-Touch buttons are
Cancel/Setup, Scan, Copy, E-mail, OCR, Scan-to-Web, and Custom. To carry out a
specific task, simply press the corresponding button on the scanner.
Note: The parameters for each Smart-Touch button are defined or set through the
Microtek Scanner Configuration (MSC) utility. For instance, you can use the MSC
to define the number of copies to be printed for your scan every time you hit the
"Copy" button. To launch the MSC, double-click the MSC icon on your desktop.
Please note that you need to exit ScanWizard 5 before launching the MSC utility.
Functions of the Smart-Touch buttons:
Cancel/Setup: Cancels an ongoing scan job, or launches the MSC utility when the
scanner is idle.
Scan: Captures high-resolution images with outstanding quality that can be
automatically saved as files or sent to another application for further processing.
Copy: Scans the image and sends it to your printer, transforming your scanner and
printer into a convenient copy station. Simply specify the number of copies you want.
E-mail: Scans the image and delivers it directly to your e-mail editor.
OCR: Performs OCR (Optical Character Recognition) of a document and converts it to
a fully editable digital file. Saves time from retyping documents into your word
processor.
Scan-to-Web: Scans the image and posts it instantly onto a photo-sharing website.
Custom: Customizes the four most commonly used functions
- Power Saving: Turns the scanner lamp ON or OFF to save power and lamp life.
- Scan: Defines another button to be a second "Scan" button. Use this if you need
a second "Scan" button with different parameters from the first Scan button.
- Fax: Launches a fax driver installed in your computer. (Windows and Mac OS 9.x
only)
- Launch Application: Defines an application to be launched.
How to use the Copy button to print a stack of documents:
1. Place the first page on the scanner glass surface.
2. Press the Copy button to scan an image to a file, then automatically output to
your specified printer.
3. Load the next page and press the Copy button again.
The scanner works in similar fashion to your printer, printing documents one after
another with no interruptions.
