You can associate a button on your scanner with an OmniPage
scanning workflow. As a result, you can launch
a scanning workflow by pressing the button on your scanner. The scanner
must be a local scanner attached to your computer.
Steps:
Create
a scanning workflow in the Workflow Assistant.
Select Tools > Options >
Scanner (your scanner must be set up
properly to be used with OmniPage).
Select a scanning workflow from the Scanner
button / Default action list or select Prompt
for workflow.
(Note: all user-created scanning workflows appear there).
Associate OmniPage with a scanner
button. Click the Control Panel: Scanners
button to display Scanners and Cameras of the Control panel. Select a
scanner and click the Properties
button. In the Properties dialog box, click the Events tab. Select a scanner
event (i..e. a scanner button) and associate it with OmniPage.
Press the button on your scanner.
OmniPage will be launched with the associated workflow.
If more than one application is associated with the scanner
button, the operating system prompts you to select the application to
launch when you press the scanner button. To avoid this, select Control
Panel > Scanners and Cameras and disable the other applications.
If you select Prompt
for workflow you will be prompted to select a workflow each time
you press the scanner button. In the prompting dialog box, there is an
option Do not prompt me again.
If it is checked, the selected workflow will be associated with the button
from then on.
