Scanner Detector

The Scanner Detector function is controlled by the
icon in the lower right corner of your screen.
The Scanner Detector runs in the background,
constantly checking to see if the scanner has been
activated. Scanners with a "Go" button are activated
by pushing this button. Other models can be
activated by lifting the scanner lid and placing a
new photo or document on the scanner glass bed.
This is also called the Auto Paper-Detect function in
ScanWizard.
Clicking on the Scanner Detector icon brings up the
