3. Choose About from the shortcut menu.
A dialog box confirms that the scanner is properly connected. The
About dialog box shown below is for a OneTouch 8600 scanner
connected to a parallel port. The dialog box for a OneTouch
scanner connected to a USB port is similar.
4. Click OK to close the dialog box.
That’s it. Your scanner is ready to scan.
See “Scanning by Pressing the OneTouch Buttons” on page 20.
Note: The scanning lamp under the scanner’s glass needs to warm up
before you can scan. A status message lets you know when the lamp is
ready. The lamp then remains ready so you don’t have to wait for it to
warm up each time you want to scan. To conserve electricity and
prolong the life of the scanner, you can set the length of time for the
lamp to remain lit before powering down. See “Setting Preferences”
on page 36.
