CHAPTER 4. Push Button Scanning
The defining feature of the Astra 3400 / 3450 is its push button functionality. You can scan an image to e-
mail, perform OCR (optical character recognition), or even use the scanner as a copy machine by pushing
one of the three buttons on the front panel of the scanner.
You can increase your productivity by accessing all of the normal scanner functions without having to
launch the software applications through the onscreen interface.
Before you can use these time-saving functions, you need to configure the settings for each button. Follow
the appropriate set of instructions below to configure the variables for each button.
