CHAPTER 4. Push Button Scanning
The defining feature of the Astra 2100U is its push button
functionality. You can scan an image to e-mail, perform OCR
(optical character recognition), or even use the scanner as a copy
machine by pushing one of the three buttons on the front panel of
the scanner.

scanner functions without having to launch the software
applications through the onscreen interface.
