Setting the Original Type for Single-Touch Scans
The Single-Touch Scan feature is a fast and convenient way to scan a document and send it to a 
predefined scan destination on your computer or network location. 
Your System Administrator will create a button on the device touch screen for each Single-Touch 
Scan destination (up to 10 buttons) and can customize the color scheme, logo and instructional 
text that displays when you select the Single-Touch Scan button. Your System Administrator can 
also change the name of the Single-Touch Scan button.
The Single-Touch Scan service can be configured with scan settings already specified so that you 
can scan your document quickly. Your System Administrator can also customize the service so that 
you can select the Build Job, Output Color, Original Type, 2-Sided Scanning and File Name settings 
each time you scan your document. 
Note: This option must be made available by your System Administrator.
If Authentication or Accounting has been enabled on your device you may have to enter login 
details to access the Single-Touch Scan feature.
