How the Smart-Touch Scanner Buttons Work

Note: The Smart-Touch buttons on the front panel of your scanner automate frequently performed tasks, such as Scan to File, Scan to Printer, etc. For each scanner button, the parameters governing the use of that button are defined or set through the Microtek Scanner Configuration (MSC) utility. For instance, you can use the MSC to define how many copies are to be printed of your scan every time you hit the “Copy” button. To launch the MSC, double-click the MSC icon on your desktop. Please note that you need to exit ScanWizard 5 before accessing the MSC utility.

The ScanMaker s430 is equipped with five Smart-T ouch 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: Captures an image that can be automatically saved as a file or sent to another application for further processing.

2. Copy: Scans an 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.

3. E-mail: Scans an image and delivers it directly to your e-mail editor.

4. OCR: Performs OCR (Optical Character Recognition) of a document and converts it to a fully editable digital file. Saves time from retyping documents into your word processor.
