CUSTOM SCAN
There are four buttons from which you can set your own preferences
and configuration to fit your required usage for scanning.
To configure a button, click on the button while holding down the Ctrl
key, and the configuration window will appear. You have four
function choices of scan action, Scan to Image, Scan to OCR, Scan
to E-mail and Scan to File.
Scan to Image: This setting allows you to scan a page directly into
any graphic viewer/editor software. You can select any kind of image
editor application you have installed on your computer as a
destination application.
Scan to OCR: Scanned documents will be converted to editable text
files. If you have a third party OCR software package installed on
your computer, you can select it. You can also select the destination
application for the editable text.
Scan to E-mail: Scanned images will be attached to an E-mail
message. You can choose which E-mail application to use if you
have more than one installed on your system. You can also select
the file type for the attachment and create a quick send list of E-mail
addresses chosen from your default E-mail address book.
Scan to File: This setting allows you to save a scanned image to
any directory on a local or network hard disk. You can also select the
file type to be used.
