You can also click on the hardware icon to return to the Button View. 6. To close the One Touch Button Panel, click the close button on the panel. About the One Touch Button Panel's Names and Icons The button names, such as PDF, eMail or Fax, indicate the original factory settings for a button. For example, the eMail button is set up to scan documents and then immediately attach them to a new eMail message in Microsoft Outlook Express. But you can change the name, the Destination Application, and any of the other aspects of the button. A question mark for a button, such as shown for button 5 in the examples above, means your computer does not have appropriate software for the initial factory settings (Fax software in the example above). In that case, you would probably want to change the name and Destination Application to something else. For example, if you scan a lot of documents that have faint images, such as handdrawn sketches in light pencil, you might want to change the button's name to Sketches, and the Destination Application to Microsoft Paint, or some other drawing program. See "Configuring the One Touch Buttons" on page 20 to change the settings of the buttons on the One Touch Button Panel. 18 DocuMate 262 Scanner User's Guide Scanning The Default One Touch Settings on Your Scanner When you receive your scanner, its settings are preconfigured to scan items for various basic tasks, such as email or fax, and then send the scanned image to an appropriate, preselected Destination Application.

See "Text Formats" on page 33 for details. Image Formats Select an image file format for photos, artwork or other documents that you want to save as images. BMP and TIFF are standard image file formats generally used if you want to do additional image processing, such as photo touch-up or color correction. Both of those file formats tend to be larger than the JPEG format. DocuMate 262 Scanner User's Guide 31 Scanning Because JPEG image files can be reduced in size, the JPEG format is often used for images on web pages, or if file size might be a problem when electronically sending the files. JPEG files are reduced in size by lowering their image quality, and you can select the degree of quality for your scanned images from the JPEG page format icon. The PDF format is often used to create images of text pages. You may want to select PDF as the page format when scanning text pages that do not require OCR processing or other processing. The PDF format is also used to put multi-page documents on web sites as pdf-readable files. As with the JPEG option, the PDF format can be reduced in size or quality. NOTE: The two other PDF formats--nPDF and sPDF--are for scanning with OCR processing and with the ability to search the scanned text.
