NetUSB-400i USB Server User Manual

Create a Shortcut on Your Desktop
This function creates a shortcut on your Desktop that, when double clicked, starts up an
application and connects a targeted USB device at the same time. This function is
particularly useful when the functions, or one of the functions, of the targeted USB
device must work with a specific application, such as a multi-function printer and the
photo/picture scanning utility. Normally, if you want to scan with a scanner connected to
a USB server, you must first connect the Scanner with the USB Server software, then
run the scan software and start scanning. When you finish with scanning you have to
close the scan software and then disconnect the scanner so that other user can use it.
This shortcut function consolidates these steps into two quick double-
click. Let’s see a
sample use case.
