A green button on the front of the unit is controlled by a software program that allows you to define which application is launched when the button is pushed, and what action will be taken.

The PrecisionSCan software also allowed us to scan or OCR directly into a number of applications already on our hard disk, including FrontPage, Microsoft Imaging, MS Word, and numerous graphics programs.
Software is provided in both French and English languages.
