Starting and displaying ScanDirect

ScanDirectTM is a PaperPort program that enables you scan items and send them directly to PaperPort, or send them to other programs on your computer without first running PaperPort.

Using ScanDirect, you can scan an item and immediately send the item to either:

• A program on the ScanDirect Send To bar — Icons on the ScanDirect Send To bar represent the programs that are linked to PaperPort and to ScanDirect. To scan and then send an item to a certain program, click the program icon, and then scan the item. ScanDirect will automatically start that program when the scan is complete.

• To the SharePoint Link — See details for scanning to the SharePoint Link.

• The PaperPort desktop — Click the PaperPort Desktop button to scan and then work with the item in PaperPort, and then scan the item. When the scan is complete, PaperPort starts and displays the item in PaperPort. You can then use all of PaperPort’s features on the item.
