Three ways to scan
4800/2400 Series Installation and User Guide 2-3
NOTE: If a button is not preconfigured, the Configuration dialog
box appears when you press that button so you can configure it
manually. For example, if your computer does not have email
software installed, the Email button cannot be configured.
Scanning from the button panel on the screen
Scanning from the button panel on the screen is just like pressing a
scanner button, except you click the button on the screen. The
scanner scans the item, and then sends the image either to the
printer, or to a destination application on your computer. This
method of scanning is especially helpful if the scanner is not located
close to your computer.
To scan from the screen:
1. Place an item to scan on the glass, face down, close the lid,
and then click the scanner icon on the Windows taskbar.
The scanner button panel appears on the screen.

2. Click the button you want to use to scan.
The scanner starts scanning the item; the messages about the
scanning appear above the Windows taskbar; the progress
window shows the image as it is scanned. When the scan is
complete, the scanned image appears in the destination
application.
The icons on the buttons indicate the destination application for the
scanned image. For example, in the illustration above, the icon on
the email button is for the email application, MS Outlook. When you
click the email button, the item is scanned, and then MS Outlook
opens. In this case, the scanned image automatically becomes an
attachment to send with an email message.
