Using ScanDirect

ScanDirect is a PaperPort program that enables you to scan items and send them

directly to PaperPort or other programs on your computer without first running

PaperPort.

ScanDirect runs as a separate program from the Windows Start Menu and displays

the ScanDirect bar (Figure 32).
