About the Buttons on the Scanner
Scanning from the Button Panel on the Screen
DocuMate 520 Scanner Installation Guide
The scanner buttons are preconfigured to scan items at various
settings and then send the scanned image to a preselected
destination software application. You can change the settings for
each button. See "About the Configuration Dialog Box" on page 20.
The following table lists the scanner's preconfigured button
settings:
Button
Preconfigured Settings
E-Mail
Scans the item as a color photo and attaches it to a
new email message in your email application
Copy
Prints the scanned item in black and white on your
printer/copier at the printer/copier's default
resolution
Scan
Scans the item as an 8.5" x 11" black and white
page and displays it in the PaperPort application
NOTE:
If a button is not preconfigured, the Configuration dialog
box opens on your computer screen so you can configure it
manually. For example, if your computer does not have email
software installed, the E-mail button is not preconfigured.
Scanning from the button panel on the screen is just like pressing a
scanner button, except you click the button on the computer
screen. The scanner scans the item and then sends the image to
the printer or a destination application on your computer. This
method of scanning is especially helpful if the scanner is not
located close to your computer.
To scan from the screen:
1. Load a stack of documents in the Automatic Document Feeder,
or place an item face-down on the glass. See "Loading
Documents to Scan" on page 16 for details.
