Scanning
Software applications for scanning
Your scanner is controlled through scan, copy or imaging software installed
on your PC.
Optimal full featured scanning functionality
is obtainable through scan
and copy software specifically developed for compatibility with your scanner
model. See the scanner manufacturer’s website for information on scanner
software and compatible third-party applications.
Running applications from the scanner panel
Normally you would control the scanner from your PC through your scan
software user interface. However, your scanner also supports one-touch
buttons that enable you to trigger scanner compatible software from the
scanner panel. Configuration of your one-touch buttons is controlled
through WIDEsystem. Please refer to the on-line help in WIDEsystem and
your compatible scanner software for instructions.
The one touch buttons 1, 2 and 3.
Batch scanning
Batch scanning involves jobs where you want to feed and scan a whole set
of originals that require equal scan settings. The basic steps are:
1. Set your scan settings (size, type, image adjustments..) for the batch.
Your settings will apply to ALL the documents in the batch.
2. Set the scan software into
Batch Mode
. This will tell the scanner to start
scanning as soon as the document is fed so you don’t need to trigger
the scan.
3. Choose
Automatic loading
(optional) - for fast and effective loading.
Read you scan software’s on-line help pages for specific information on
batch scanning with the application.
NOTE:
The availability of Batch scanning options will depend on your
scan/copy software and its level of compatibility with the scanner model.
Monitoring your scanner with WIDEsystem
You installed WIDEsystem with the scanner drivers. WIDEsystem contains
an application that monitors the scanner and reports on its functionality.
Double click the system tray’s scanner icon to open the WIDEsystem
control interface.
