How the Smart-Touch Scanner Buttons Work

The Smart-Touch buttons on the button panel of your scanner automate 

frequently performed tasks, such as Scan to File, Scan to Printer, etc.  By 

pressing any of the Smart-Touch buttons, you can activate the function 

associated with that button quickly and easily.  

For each scanner button, the parameters governing the use of that button are 

defined or set through the Microtek Scanner Configuration (MSC) utility in your 

Windows system or through ScanPotter in your Mac OS X system. For instance, 

you can define how many copies are to be printed of your scan every time you 

hit the “Copy” button.  To launch the MSC utilty, exit ScanWizard EZ first, then 

double-click the MSC icon ( 

 ) on your desktop. 

Note: Make sure that you have exited ScanWizard EZ program before using 

scanner buttons when you are in Windows system; however, if you are using 

Mac OS X, you need to activate ScanPotter program before using scanner 

buttons.

The ScanMaker i4800 is equipped with six Smart-Touch buttons for easy access 

to frequently used scanner functions. To carry out a specific task, simply press 

the corresponding button on the scanner. The Smart-Touch buttons are:

1.

  Scan

: This button captures images that can be automatically saved as files 

or sent to another application for further processing.

2.

   Copy

:

This button scans the image and sends it to your printer, transforming 

your scanner and printer into a convenient copy station. Simply specify the 

number of copies you want. 

To use the 

Copy

 button to print a stack of documents:

–  Place the first page on the scanner glass surface.
–  Press the Copy button to scan an image to a file, then automatically 

output to your specified printer.

–  Load the next page and press the Copy button again. The scanner works 

in similar fashion to your printer, printing documents one after another 

with no interruptions.
