What Are Scanner Buttons?
The four buttons on the scanner are referred to as scanner buttons. You can create PDF files, print items, send images, etc. by simply placing the item on the platen and pressing a scanner button.
Important
- In Windows, when you press a scanner button, a program selection screen may appear instead of IJ Scan Utility. In that case, set IJ Scan Utility as the program to start.
Refer to "Scanner Button Settings (Windows)" for details. To set to start IJ Scan Utility Lite in macOS, see Scanner Button Settings (macOS).
