SCANNING BY PRESSING THE ONETOUCH BUTTONS 13 SCANNING BY PRESSING THE ONETOUCH BUTTONS Pressing a scanner button scans the item, and then sends the image either to the printer, or to a software application on your computer. To scan by pressing a button on the scanner: 1. Place an item to scan on the glass, face down, and align the edge of the item with the arrow marker at the lower left corner of the glass. 2. Close the document cover and press one of the OneTouch buttons. The scanner starts scanning the item. Messages just above the Windows taskbar shows the status of the scanning. 14 VISIONEER ONETOUCH 5820 SCANNER INSTALLATION GUIDE During scanning, the scan progress window shows a small copy of the image, as illustrated by this example: When the scan is complete, the scanned image appears in the destination software. In this example, the destination software is the PaperPort Desktop. SCANNING FROM THE BUTTON PANEL ON THE SCREEN 15 SCANNING FROM THE BUTTON PANEL ON THE SCREEN Scanning from the button panel on the screen is just like pressing a scanner button, except you click the button on the screen. The scanner scans the item, and then sends the image either to the printer, or to 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. Place an item to scan on the glass, face down, close the lid, and then click the scanner icon on the Windows taskbar. The scanner button panel appears on the screen. 2. Click the button you want to use to scan. The scanner starts scanning the item; the messages about the scanning appear above the Windows taskbar; the progress window shows the image as it is scanned. When the scan is complete, the scanned image appears in the destination application. The icons on the buttons indicate the destination application for the scanned image. For example, in the illustration above, the icon on the email button is for the email application, MS Outlook. When you click the email button, the item is scanned, and then MS Outlook opens. In this case, the scanned image automatically becomes an attachment to send with an email message. A question mark icon on a button means your computer does not have an application that corresponds to that button's functions. For example, if your computer does not have an email application, the Email button will have a question mark icon on it. 16 VISIONEER ONETOUCH 5820 SCANNER INSTALLATION GUIDE ABOUT THE ONETOUCH BUTTONS The OneTouch 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 22. The following table lists the scanner's preconfigured settings: Button Email Copy/Print Scan Preconfigured Settings Scans the item as a color photo and attaches it to a new email message in your email application Prints the scanned item in black and white on your printer/copier at the printer/copier's default resolution Scans the item as an 8.5" x 11" color page and displays it in PaperPort Note: If a button is not preconfigured, the Configuration dialog box appears when you press that button so you can configure it manually. For example, if your computer does not have email software installed, the Email button cannot be preconfigured.
