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-Touch 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.

5. PDF: Captures an image and automatically saves it as anAdobe Portable

Document Format (PDF) file for immediate viewing with theAdobeAcrobat

software.
