HP ScanJet Button Manager

The HP ScanJet Button Manager controls what happens when you push the Scan button on the front of the scanner. The HP ScanJet Button Manager dialog box lets you:

•	select the default software to launch with the Scan button

•	enable the Scan button so that pushing the Scan button starts a scan in the default software

•	show the HP ScanJet Button Manager dialog box when new software is available for use with the scanner

Note: Older HP ScanJet scanners, such as the 3c, 4c, or 6100C, do not have a button to automatically launch software or start a preview scan.


To select the software to launch:

In the HP ScanJet Button Manager dialog box:

1.	Click the name of the software program you want to be launched by the Scan button on the scanner.

2.	Click OK.

The next time the Scan button on the scanner is pushed, the selected software program will be launched.


To enable the Scan button to start a scan:

In the HP ScanJet Button Manager dialog box:

1.	Click the Enable the Scan button checkbox to place a checkmark in it.

2.	Click OK.

The next time the Scan button on the scanner is pushed:

•	the selected software program will be launched if it is not already open

•	the scanner will scan the original


To show the HP ScanJet Button Manager dialog when new software is available:

1.	Click the Show this dialog when new software is available checkbox to place a checkmark in it.

2.	Click OK.

The next time the HP ScanJet Button Manager dialog box is opened and newly installed scanning software is detected, a dialog box appears to let you add the new program to the list of programs available for use with the Scan button.
