Starting a Scan from a Scanner Button

You can scan using a button on your scanner. This automatically starts a default scanning program, but
you can reassign the buttons to different programs.

Your product automatically selects suitable default scan settings, but you can view or change them as
necessary.

1.

Make sure you installed the scanner software and connected the scanner to your computer or
network.

2.

Place the original on your scanner.
