Top  Previous  Next

Clicking the Scan icon on the left pane in the Button Configuration window displays its current button settings on the right pane.  
 
The settings can be categorized into two: Application and File Saving Settings on the upper part, and Scan Parameters on the lower part.  
 
The items and parameters available in the window are explained as follows:

Application and File Saving Settings  
 
btnconfig_scan1_gb  
 
Application  
Specifies an application program to be launched and linked to the Scan button. After the scan is complete, this application program is started up automatically and displays all scanned images.  
 
Logo_Info Make sure you select an application that can process the specified file format. Scanned images cannot be displayed properly if the specified file format is not supported by that application.  
 
For example, if you select file format as JPEG, PNG, BMP or TIFF (compressed or uncompressed), make sure you select an image-editing application (e.g., Adobe Photoshop); if you select PDF to save the scanned images, you are recommended to select Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Acrobat Reader that has been installed in your Windows.  
 
 
Up to 10 programs can be added to Application's drop-down menu.  
·Clicking btn_add_gb opens the "Add/Modify Linked Application" window where you may add frequently-used programs to the Application menu.  
·Clicking btn_modify_gb opens the "Add/Modify Linked Application" window where you modify the name, memo and command line for the current application.  
·Clicking btn_delete_gb to delete the current application link from the Application menu.  
 
After you select an application, the program icon will appear as the Scan button icon on the left pane of Button Configuration window.  
 
 
Launch only  
If this check box is ticked, clicking the Scan button will only start the linked application program. No scan is performed.  
 
This option allows you to set up this button as a hot key to simply launch an application program without scanning action.  
 
 
Save Setup...  
Clicking this button opens the Save Setup dialog box where you may determine where and in what file name format the scanned documents or images are saved.  
 
 
File Format  
Determines the image file format to save the scanned documents or images to. The following file formats are available from the drop-down list box:  
·JPEG: Not available for B/W scan mode.  
·TIFF - Uncompressed  
·TIFF - Compressed  
·PDF  
·PNG  
·Windows Bitmap  
 
 
Different file formats can be set for different scan modes. For example, if you usually need color images in JPEG and B/W images in BMP, you may configure so here. Next time when you scan a document in color first and then another document in B/W, you may simply change the scan parameters without the trouble of changing file formats frequently.  
 
Clicking btn_configure_gb opens the File Format Configuration window where you may configure advanced settings for JPG, TIFF - Compressed and PDF file formats.
