1. Overview

Button Manager V2 provides you an easy way to scan your document and then link the
scanned image to your designated destinations or software application. All this can be
done with a simple touch of the button on the scanner. Nine different destinations can
be assigned to complete your frequently performed tasks. In addition, Button Manager
V2 provides the following features to manage your document more effectively:

 iScan-Inserting your image or text to your software application:

With the iScan function, Button Manager allows you to insert the scanned image or
editable text after the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) process directly to your
software application. For example, when you are editing text in Microsoft Word and you
wish to insert a scanned picture, you can start a scan right away and the scanned image
will be inserted and displayed in your Microsoft Word.

Installing Button Manager 1

 Uploading your scanned image to the network:
Button Manager V2 allows you to scan and upload the scanned image to various
network file servers such as FTP, Google Drive, Microsoft Office SharePoint, Evernote,
Dropbox, Facebook, OneDrive, or other specified computer in the network.

 Displaying scanner’s TWAIN user interface:

For more advanced scan settings, Button Manager V2 allows you to scan through the
scanner’s TWAIN user interface and customize your scan configurations to fit into your
application needs.

 New color dropout tool:

With Button Manager V2, you can conveniently choose the color channel you wish to
remove by dragging and dropping the scanned image to the main window and then
clicking your desired color directly on the scanned image. The RGB value of the
specified color will be simultaneously shown. This helps you remove your specified color
channel more efficiently and effectively.

 Supporting plug-in feature:

Best of all, Button Manager V2 allows software developers to develop and add their own
plug-in features to Button Manager V2 to expand its functions.

 User’s Manual

4.2.3 The Scan Parameters Option

 Resolution:
The resolution is measured in pixels per inch (ppi) (sometimes referred to as dots per
inch or dpi). Higher resolutions result in more detail in the scan, slower scanning and in
general, greater file sizes. For example, an A4 size color image scanned at 300 dpi with
color mode consumes approximately 25 MB of disk space. When OCR (Optical
Character Recognition) is to be performed on a scan, 300dpi should be used for most
languages except Asian languages. For Asian languages, 400 dpi is recommended.
Move the slider to choose your ideal resolution. The default value is 200 dpi. Available
resolutions are 100, 150, 200,300, 400 and 600. (Options vary based on type of
scanner.)

Resolution: 100 dpi Resolution: 200 dpi

 Paper Size:
Choose your ideal scan size. Choice: Auto Crop and Deskew, Scanner Maximum, US
Letter- 8.5”x 11”, US Legal – 8.5” x 14”, ISO A4 – 21 x 29.7 cm, ISO A5 – 14.8 x 21 cm,
ISO A6 – 10.5 x 14.8cm, ISO A7 – 7.4 x 10/5 cm, ISO B5 – 17.6 x 25 cm, ISO B6 – 12.5

JIS B7 – 9.1 x 12.8 cm. Note: The options vary due to type of scanner.

Auto Crop and Deskew: Automatically adjusts the cropping window according to
different document sizes and automatically straighten a skew image. Use this option for
batches of mixed-sized documents.

 Duplex:
Choose “Duplex” to scan both the front and rear side of your document. Before
choosing “Duplex”, make sure you have purchased a duplex scanner first.

 Use TWAIN:
Click to scan based on the scanner’s TWAIN user interface. Click “Setup” to prompt
the scanner’s TWAIN user interface for more advanced scan settings.

4.2.4 The File Location Option

 Directory:
Enter the path or click “Browse” to select the path for your scanned image. Default:
C:\Document and Settings\xxxx(login name)\My Documents\My Pictures\xxx(scanner
model)\Button# (C represents your system drive.)

 File Name:
A joint name of the text string (default: scan) and a numeric suffix is the file name of
your scanned image. This suffix is automatically generated to make file names unique,
for example, scan0001. You may change the default string by entering your text on the
default file name “Image####”.

Or you may add date or time to current file name by choosing the “More” option.
Choice includes Date, Time, Year, Month, Day, Hour, Minute, Second, Day of

time.)

 File Format:
The file format that you have selected determined the file format for the scanned image
of your document.
Choose your ideal file format for the specific button number. Choice includes BMP,
PNG, GIF, JPEG, Single-Page PDF, Multi-Page PDF, Multi-TIFF, TIFF, RTF, TXT,
OCR(for iScan only), XPS, DOC, XLS, PPT, DOCS, XLSX, PPTX, HTML.

BMP:
BMP is the standard Windows image format on DOS and Windows-compatible
computers. The BMP format supports RGB, indexed-color, grayscale, and Bitmap color
modes.

GIF:
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) format was created mainly for Internet uses,
mainly for its small file size. It's good for fast-loading web pages only. Nowadays Gif is
widely used on the World Wide Web, both for still images and for animations. GIF
displays a maximum of 256 colors, which makes it unsuitable for pictures with
continuous colors. Its application is best for color clip art, black-and-white line
drawings, or images with large blocks of solid colors.

PNG:
PNG (Portable Network Graphic) is also a bitmap of indexed colors under a lossless
compression, but without copyright limitations; commonly used to store graphics for
Web images. PNG is superior to GIF in that it has better compression and supports
millions of colors. PNG files end in a .png suffix.

TIFF:
TIFF (The Tagged-Image File Format) is a flexible bitmap image format supported by
virtually all paint, image-editing, and page-layout applications. Also, virtually all
desktop scanners can produce TIFF images. To compress your file size, click the
“Properties” button. Move the slider to the right or to the left to increase or decrease
the level of compression. Note the greater the compression level, the lower image
quality.

Multi-TIFF:
Multi-TIFF combines all the scanned images into a single TIFF file.

JPEG:
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) compression provides the best results with
continuous-tone color and the smallest file size. To compress your file size, click the
“Properties” button. Move the slider to the right or to the left to increase or decrease
the level of compression. Note the greater the compression level, the lower image
quality.

Configuring the Buttons 21

Single-Page PDF/Multi-Page PDF:
PDF(Portable Document Format) is a very popular file format used by Adobe. You can
view PDF files using Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader.

Multi-Page PDF:
Multi-PDF combines all the scanned images into a single PDF file.

Mote: You may create a searchable PDF file format by clicking the Properties button and
then select your OCR language.

OCR(for iScan only):

OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is a special file format provided by Button Manager.
If you wish convert your image text to editable text and insert the text directly to your
application which is already opened such as Microsoft Notepad or Microsoft Word, you
need to select the file format to be OCR. Note: This format is available only if your
destination is iScan.

RTF:
RTF (Rich Text Format) is a document file format developed by Microsoft for
cross-platform document interchange. Most word processors including Microsoft
WordPad or Notepad can read and write RTF files.

TXT:
The TXT file format, ending in “.txt”, is a file format that is in plain text. Plain texts,
or .txt files, are recognized by all word processors and text editors.

If you wish to convert your scanned image to editable text, you can choose the file
format to be RTF. TXT, or other text file format used by Microsoft and select your OCR
language to convert the scanned image to editable text.

PPT/PPTX: a file extension for a presentation file format used by Microsoft

PowerPoint.
DOC/DOCX: a document file format used by Microsoft Words.
XLS/XLSX: a file extension for a spreadsheet file format used by Microsoft Excel.
XPS: an XML Paper Specification File, developed by Microsoft, which serves as a PDF
alternative.
HTML: is a HyperText Markup Language file format used as the basis of a web page.

Note:
HTML file format is available only when you select destination as “Archive”.

4.4 The Color Dropout Tab

Color Dropout tab allows you to filter out a color channel (red, green, or blue). For
example, if you are scanning a document with a red watermark, you can choose to filter
out the red channel so the scanned image just shows the text and not the red
watermark. Removing colors from the scan might reduce the scan file size and improve
optical character recognition (OCR) result.

Note:
Color dropout only applies to gray and black and white scans.
