USING SCANDIRECT FUNCTION KEYS
The ScanDirect function keys are programmed keys that you can use to
send a scanned item directly to an application. When you press a function
key, the PaperPort software uses the scan settings associated with a
function key’s target application. The keys are:
• F5 PaperPort Desktop. Sends the scanned item to the PaperPort
Desktop.
• F6 Page Viewer. Sends the scanned item to the Page Viewer.
• F7 Photocopy. Prints a copy of the scanned item on your printer.
• F8 Fax. Sends the scanned item to your electronic fax software.
• F9 Word Processor. Converts the scanned item using the PaperPort
OCR software, and then opens the item in your word processor.
• F10 Image Editor. Sends the scanned item to the image editing
application supplied with the PaperPort software.
• F11 Settings. Displays the Scan Settings dialog box.
• F12 Show or Hide. Shows or hides the Link Bar on the Macintosh
desktop.
If you press function keys F5–F10, the application associated with the key
becomes the selected ScanDirect target application in the ScanDirect To
menu and on the Link Bar.
