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 W indows 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. T o launch the MSC utilty , exit ScanW izard 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.

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.

your specified printer.
