CUSTOM SCAN
There are four buttons from which you can set your own preferences
and configuration to fit your required usage for scanning.
To configure a button, right-click on the button, and the configuration
window will appear. You have four function choices of scan action,
Scan to Image, Scan to OCR, Scan to E-mail and Scan to File.
Scan to Image: This setting allows you to scan a page directly into
any graphic viewer/editor software. You can select any kind of image
editor application you have installed on your computer as a
destination application.
Scan to OCR: Scanned documents will be converted into editable
text files. If you have a third party OCR software package installed
on your PC you can select it. You can also select the destination
application for the editable text.
Scan to E-mail: Scanned images will be attached to an E-mail
message. You can choose which E-mail application to use if you
have more than one installed on your system. You can also select
the file type for the attachment and create a quick send list of E-mail
addresses chosen from your default E-mail address book.
Scan to File: This setting allows you to save a scanned image to
any directory on a local or network hard disk. You can also select the
file type to be used.
