Scanning from the Scanner’s Panel or On-screen DocAction’s Execute
Menu
The settings for the button on the scanner’s panel are configured through
DocAction. DocAction offers you quick access to the most frequently-used
scanning functions. They are especially useful when you need to repeatedly
scan with the same settings and send images to the same destination.
The button on the scanner panel will be used in this guide to demonstrate the
scanner operations. You may also use DocAction’s on-screen Execute menu to
perform the same scanning tasks.
Configure Button Settings
Before performing your first scan via scanner buttons, it is recommended to
configure the button settings to your needs and preferences first. There are two
ways to configure or view the button settings of DocAction:
•Double-click the icon
in the Windows system tray.
•Right-click the icon
in the Windows system tray, and then choose Button
Configuration in the pop-up menu that opens.
Within the “Button Configuration” window, you can find a row of icons running
along the left side of the window. Each icon corresponds to a single-touch button
on your scanner’s front panel (as well as DocAction’s on-screen Execute menu).
Clicking any icon on the left pane and its current button settings are displayed
immediately on the right pane. You may adjust the settings as desired.
Click the Help button within the Button Configuration window for more
information about the settings.
Scan from the Button
Scanning documents or images from this scanner is very easy. Follow the two
steps described below:
1. Place the document or image onto the scanner.
2. Do one of the following to start scanning:
•Press the button from the scanner’s panel.
•Right-click the icon
in the Windows system tray, and then choose
Execute in the pop-up menu that opens. Click the Scan button function item in
the pop-up menu.
The scanner starts to scan immediately and carry out the corresponding action
according to the settings you have set up in the Button Configuration window.
Attention •
The [Scan] button can function with the default setting “Scan”,
even though you didn’t define the function by using DocAction
beforehand.
