The TWAIN Driver User Interfaces
When developing the TWAIN drivers for Minoltas scanners we tried to keep a consistent look and feel across all models. Since each scanner has unique functions and features the drivers do vary from model to model. In the following sections we walk through the MS 6000 and MS 7000 TWAIN drivers and explain what their various features and functions are as well as how to work with them. Remember that if, while working with a driver, you want a quick definition of a given feature you can always left-click the mouse while holding the pointer over the feature in question. This will launch a small window with information on that features functionality. Users of the MS 2000 and MS 3000 will find that nearly all the features of the scanners TWAIN drivers are covered in the enclosed MS 6000 and MS 7000, PS 3000 and PS 7000 Users Guides as well. Nearly all selections in the TWAIN drivers are sticky and settings will remain unchanged if the driver is closed and reopened. Driver settings always take precedence over the scanners front panel settings.
Section 3 - The MS 6000 TWAIN Driver Users Guide
The MS 6000 is KMBS low-to-mid volume Microform scanner. It is very similar to its predecessor, the MS 2000, however it offers many new features. In order to scan-to-file with the MS 6000 the user must ensure that the optional PC interface kit is installed and the front panel of the MS 6000 is set to operate in PC mode. The scanner can be configured for PC mode by pressing the clear/Shift key and the multiple print/PC keys at the same time. These two keys are adjacent to each other and are located just above the Start button on the front panel. When in PC mode the scanner will display a capital P and a lower case c. Once the TWAIN driver is launched the small c on the scanners LED will change to a capital C to indicate that proper communication exists between the scanner and driver.
The MS 6000 Scanner Setup User Interface
When most off-the-shelf software applications (such as Adobe Acrobat, Photoshop, etc.) are instructed to acquire an image they will launch the MS 6000 Scanner Setup Window. This is your User Interface (UI) for communicating to the TWAIN driver. It allows you to configure the MS 6000 as necessary prior to scanning. Please keep in mind that many of the controls found in the drivers UI are also duplicated on the front panel of the scanner and can be controlled from the scanner itself. Since the front panel is also used for direct printing, some of the nomenclature used between the driver and front panel may differ. Please see the appropriate sections below to determine if UI settings are duplicated on the front panel and to determine which buttons duplicate those commands.

Preview Window

When changing settings via the scanners front panel, the driver UI will update in real-time (as long as the driver is currently launched). While the scanner is busy executing a scan the front panel LED display will show a flashing PC and the front panel will be locked. When the display stops flashing, the scanners control panel is once again active. Scan Settings The Scan Settings section allows you to define three key elements of the scanners settings. They are: Resolution (DPI) This drop-down box allows you to select the resolution at which the scanner will deliver data to the scanning software. The resolution is measured in dots per inch or DPI. Available settings for the MS 6000 are 200, 300, 400, 600 and 800 DPI. Higher DPI settings will result in better quality scans but will result in longer scanning and data transfer times as well as larger file sizes. If using the front panel of the MS 6000, the resolution can be selected by pressing the Clear/Shift key and the

No Masking or Frame Elimination

Auto Masking

Auto Frame Elimination
box allows you to activate this feature as well as define the time interval of non-usage needed before the scanner will turn the lamp off. Initialize scan settings from scanner Retrieve the current scan settings from scanner at the beginning of a new TWAIN session instead of loading the settings saved from the previous TWAIN session. Auto card feeder Automatically feed cards (AFC) during a scanning session All Cards This enabled option and AFC option to scan all cards in a single scan session. Number of cards edit box When AFC is enabled and all card option is disabled, use this area to enter a number of cards that will be feed in a single scanning session.
Brightness & Contrast Controls This set of controls allows users to change the composition of the scanned image as detailed below. Please note that when using the slider bars you may notice some slight lag or resistance -- this is normal and is due to the bi-directional communication between the driver and scanner. Automatic Brightness Check this box if you wish to have the scanner perform a prescan and apply an appropriate brightness setting based on the detected original. Automatic brightness will assume an original of normal exposure. Brightness Changing these settings will cause the scanned image to appear lighter or darker. When automatic brightness is selected this function will work as a small adjustment to the brightness applied by the AB function and the slider can be set between 0 and 30. When AB is not selected this slider will apply an absolute brightness based on a setting between 0 and 90. In grayscale a lower brightness setting will result in each pixel being given a value closer to white while a higher setting will cause each pixel to be given a value closer to black. When scanning with Image Type set for black and white, a low brightness setting will cause the thresholding process to result in more pixels being set to white while a higher brightness will result in more pixels being set to black. Please note that all Brightness and Contrast controls are applied prior to any Halftone or Photo settings. Brightness settings can be adjusted using the front panel Auto, Darker and Lighter buttons.

Contrast The contrast settings extend from 0 to 14. Changing these settings will cause the scanned image to either increase or decrease the range between dark and light areas. A low contrast setting will result in each pixel being set to a value closer to the median (gray) while a high contrast setting will result in each pixel being set to a value closer to its
absolute. In other words, light pixels get lighter and dark pixels get darker. A high contrast can be desirable when trying to enhance dark objects on a less-than-white background. Contrast cannot be adjusted from the front panel.
The Action Buttons The Action buttons allow you to interact with the driver User Interface to accomplish important tasks or launch support windows. Here is a detailed description of what these buttons do:
Focus Clicking the Focus button. Scan Clicking the Scan button will cause the MS 7000 to initiate a scan using the currently selected configuration. Scans can also be initiated by pressing the Start button on the MS 7000s front panel. When operating the MS 7000 in Batch Scan Mode (see below) this button will be disabled and all scans must be initialized via the front panel Start button. Scan All When the MS 7000 is set for Dual Scan Mode the Scan button will change to a Scan All button. In addition to the Scan All button a Scan Left and a Scan Right button will activate under the Preview Window. The user now has a choice of three potential scan buttons. The Scan All button will cause the MS 7000 to scan both the left and right half of the total scan area and return two separate images to the application. Note: If the scanning software being used does not support the accepting of two or more image files from a single scan then most likely only the rightmost image will be accessible in the application software.
Preview Clicking the Preview button will cause the MS 7000 to perform a low-resolution scan that will be displayed in the preview window. This scanned data is not transferred to the application. The preview function is very useful for confirming scan settings and for defining custom scan areas. To use previewing to define a custom area, first click the Preview button, once an image has been placed in the preview window just drag and drop or resize the scan area to match the given portion of the preview image you wish to capture. Cancel Use the Cancel button to close out the driver window without initiating any scans. Help Clicking the Help button will launch the TWAIN driver help file. This file contains detailed information on working with the driver. Much of the information contained in this guide can be found within the Help file. About Clicking this button will launch the About Dialog Box. This box contains important information including the current driver version number. This is the most reliable means for determining which version of the driver you are running.

Although the TWAIN Configuration utility will automatically run during installation, you will likely wish to launch it again when a new scanner is attached or to do routine maintenance. To access the utility, simply locate and select it in your Start Menu bar. It can typically be found in the Programs/Minolta TWAIN Data Sources menu.
The Minolta Sample TWAIN Application Installed with the driver is a sample scanning application. Please note that this application has no viewing capabilities and will require other software for viewing a scanned image. It simply executes a scan and stores the image as a TIFF file. It can be an excellent tool for confirming
the functionality of the driver should you experience problems running the driver in other scanning applications.
Section 6 Overlay Manager Users Guide
The Overlay Manager software included with the Minolta TWAIN driver is intended for use only when using the MS 6000 or MS 7000 in conjunction with the MSP 3000 high-speed, direct-connect laser printer. The overlay software allows you to design a bitmap image that can be automatically included on output delivered from the MSP 3000 printer. Although a PC is required for configuration and, when needed, monitoring, no functionality exists to annotate or overlay any image that is scanned to file. The Overlay software can be used to configure and manage a number of direct-print MS 6000 or MS 7000. If numerous direct-print MS-series scanners are attached to the same PC, the overlay software can store settings for each attached scanner separately however only one scanner can be monitored at a time. There are three components to the Overlay Manager software. They are:
The Overlay Monitor: The Overlay Monitor is a TSR (terminate and stay resident) application that runs in the background of your PC. It resides in the Task Bar and is primarily used to monitor an attached scanner and, when needed, to upload appropriate overlay data. The Overlay Image Editor: The Overlay Image Editor is the application module used to actually design and store the overlay bitmap file. The Overlay Configuration Editor: The Overlay Configuration Editor is the application used to set up a scanner for overlay use. It is where you define the overlay to use, the position of the overlay and weather or not the overlay will be dynamic or static (see below).

When utilizing the MS 6000 or MS 7000 with overlays/annotations, the scanners will be operating in one of two modes as selected in the Overlay Configuration Editor:
Static: In static mode, the MS 6000/MS 7000 stores the overlay data internally in nonvolatile (permanent) memory. The overlay is fixed and will never change. Thus, information such as date, time and page numbers cannot be changed from print to print. During each print, the internal memory is checked and any overlay present is placed on the output. The Overlay Manager software is required for the one-time single upload of the overlay data and for making any future changes to that overlay. While in Static mode users can utilize the front panel to enable/disable overlays from print to print.
To toggle the static overlay on and off, first make sure the scanner is in Print mode, then simply press and hold the Clear/Shift button and the Paper Select button for one second. The LED will display either 0c or 1c. 0c indicates that there will be no overlay included on output. 1c indicates that the static overlay will be included on any
prints. To toggle the indicator, continue to hold down the Clear/Shift button and release and press the Paper Select button a second time.
Dynamic: In Dynamic mode, the MS 6000 and MS 7000 can annotate an overlay with changing information such as page number, date and time from print to print. In order to do so, the scanners use temporary on-board storage that, in between prints, is repeatedly populated by the Overlay Manager software. In order to use dynamic overlays the scanner must have a SCSI connection to a PC that has the Overlay Monitor active. The only way to active dynamic mode is to enable it in the Overlay Configuration Editor and make sure the Overlay Monitor is active. When all these criteria are met, the scanner is automatically placed in dynamic mode. This can be verified by pressing the Clear/Shift button and the Paper Select button for one second. When in dynamic mode the LED will display a 2c setting. When using dynamic overlays the overlay cannot be disabled via the front panel but instead must be done through the software.
Using the Overlay Manager Software
To begin using overlays on output you will need to follow these steps -- the details of which are explained fully in the following subsections. 1) Launch the Overlay Monitor (if not done so during the install) once launched it may still be inactive/disabled. 2) Create an overlay in the Overlay Editor and then enable the Overlay Monitor. 3) Use the Configuration Editor to select the scanner, select the overlay bitmap, select the overlay location and to set the overlay mode as dynamic or static. 4) Make a print. Once these steps have been followed, the selected scanner has stored the static overlay internally. It can now be used as is until cleared or changed by the Overlay Manager. The PC no longer needs to be connected or used to utilize that overlay. If you desire to have a dynamically changing overlay with date, time or page number then the scanner must stay connected to a PC that has the Overlay Monitor active and running. Each of the Overlay Manager modules is explained in detail below with further instructions for using dynamic overlays.

The Overlay Monitor The first step to creating and using overlays is to ensure that the Overlay Monitor is active and running in the Status Area of the Windows Task Bar. The Task Bar is typically located along the bottom edge of your monitor and the icon itself will be to the far right-hand side of the Task Bar (next to the clock display). It can be identified as a small MS 7000 scanner icon with a colored screen. If you wish to have the Monitor automatically start each time Windows is launch then you will need to indicate this in the Overlay Configuration Editor (see below).
If the Monitor is not currently running it can be launched by locating it in you Start Menu under the Programs/Minolta Overlay Manager section. Simply select it and the monitor icon should appear in the Task Bar
The purpose of the Monitor is to watch the selected MS-series scanner and when in dynamic mode, to upload the newest bitmap overlay each time a print is made (see the dynamic section above). The screen color of the icon will change to show the current status of the selected scanner. The colors have the following meaning:
Green Screen (active) This indicates that the Overlay Monitor is currently monitoring the selected scanner and will send an updated bitmap overlay when needed. The Monitor can be activated in the Overlay Editor. This monitor icon should only remain green when the scanner is working in dynamic mode. Yellow Screen (busy) This indicates that the Overlay Monitor has detected that the selected scanner is currently busy or that the Overlay Monitor is currently communicating with that scanner. The print button should not be active at this time. The scanner will be considered busy and unavailable while any scans are taking place or when data (both image and status) is being sent to or from the scanner to the PC. Red Screen (inactive) This indicated that the Overlay Monitor is not active and will not send updated overlay information when a print is made. When running the scanner is static overlay mode, the overlay monitor will be red. If working in dynamic mode the Monitor can be activated in the Overlay Editor. Blue Screen (unavailable) This indicates that the selected scanner is unable to communicate with the overlay software. No overlay data can be sent when the Monitor icon is blue.
At any time you can right-click on the Monitor icon to bring up a menu. This menu gives you the following options:
Configure.: Launches the Configuration Editor (see below). The Configuration Editor allows you to select an overlay and the overlays location on the output. Editor.: Launches the Overlay image Editor (see below). The Overlay Image Editor allows you to actually design the bitmap that will become the overlay. Restart: Causes the Overlay Monitor to restart. This can be useful to reinitialize or resend the overlay data to the scanner in static mode or to cause the monitor to activate in dynamic mode. Exit: Causes the Monitor to close. Help: Launches a single-page help file with details on the Monitors status and operation. About: Will display an about screen with important version information The Overlay Image Editor The Overlay Image Editor is the utility actually used to create your overlay bitmap. It allows you to create static and dynamic text strings as well as importing bitmap images. The Overlay software comes with a sample overlay (sample.ovr) as well as a clear overlay (clear.ovr) for clearing the scanner memory. There is no limit to the number of overlays you can create, store and use however each scanner can store only one static overlay at a time.

new overly bitmap with the current dynamic information as each print is made. In order to select and use dynamic overlay mode you will need to have the PC connected to the appropriate MS scanner and the Overlay Manager icon active in the Windows tray.
Disable Select Disable if you do not want the connected MS scanner to utilize any overlays during output. This is the only way to disable overlays while the machine is running in dynamic mode. It can also be used to duplicate the front panel toggle while running in Static mode. Overlay Position This drop down box lets you select one of the eight possible page locations where you can place the overlay itself. These locations all assume an orientation of portrait and will always be printed horizontally in other words if you place the overlay on the right side of the page the text will not be rotated to be printed along the edge. Once selected click the apply button and the preview window will update to show the approximate layout of the annotate print. The overlay position is not affected if the MS 6000 is set for automatic 90degree rotation as all overlays are added prior to rotation. Note: the MS 7000 and MS 6000 use different position designations so make sure you have the correct scanner selected prior to assigning an overlay location. Page count If using dynamic text that includes a page number in the selected overlay, this text box is used to select the starting page number for the next print. This display will increment by one each time a print is made while the scanner is in dynamic mode. While in static mode This dropdown box will only enable when using overlays in static mode. Its purpose is to configure how any dynamic text on an overlay will be handled if that overlay is uploaded for use in static mode. You can select from one of these two choices: Render all dynamic strings This indicated that you wish to create the static overlay with all dynamic text present and to use the current settings (i.e. date, time, and page) for that text at the time of upload. These text settings will remain constant over every print. Do not render any dynamic strings This indicates that you wish to remove any dynamic text from an overlay being used in static mode. Thus, only static text and bitmaps will be displayed. Preview Window The preview window is used to give you an idea of what output will look like with the annotation included. To ensure that the preview gives an accurate representation make sure to select the proper paper size and scanner in the drop down boxes at the top of the window. Please note the paper size and orientation selection are only available as a tool to help you envision the final output, these selections will in no way affect the actual output. All output will be printed in an orientation and size as selected on the front panel of the scanner.

Rulers A horizontal ruler runs along the top of the window while a vertical ruler runs along the left. The box in the upper left corner indicates which form of measurement (inches or centimeters) is currently being used for the ruler. Left clicking on this box will switch the form of measurement between inches and centimeters. The Window The preview window itself represents the entire 17x 23 scan area of the PS 7000. Within the preview window will be an outlined rectangle. This outline represents the actual area that the scanner is currently set to capture. This outline can be changed and manipulated in a variety of ways. The easiest and most common way is to select a preset paper size from the paper size drop-down box or the front panel of the PS 7000 itself. Once a paper size is selected it will be represented in the preview window. Users wishing to have more control over the scan area can either resize the box or click-and-drag a new rectangle. To resize the box first hover the mouse over an edge or corner until the mouse pointer changes to a resize tool then hold down the left mouse button and drag that edge or corner to the desired location. An even easier way is to simply right click outside the box and drag and drop the mouse to create the desired size scan area. At any time you can right click on the inside of the box and drag the entire scan area anywhere in the 17 x 23 window. Scan Left / Scan Right Buttons When the PS 7000 is set to scan in single Scan Mode these two buttons will become enabled and the Scan Action Button (see the Action Buttons section below) will change to a Scan All button. The Left/Right buttons can then be used to scan only one side of the total scan area rather than scanning both sides at once as would happen with the Scan All or Start button. Brightness & Contrast Controls This set of controls allows users to change the composition of the scanned image as detailed below. Please note that when using the slider bars you may notice some slight lag or resistance -- this is normal and is due to the bi-directional communication between the driver and scanner.
Automatic Brightness Check this box if you wish to have the scanner perform a prescan and apply an appropriate brightness setting based on the detected original. Automatic brightness will assume an original of normal exposure. Brightness Changing this value will cause the scanned image to appear lighter or darker. When automatic brightness (AB) is selected this value will work as a small adjustment to the brightness applied by the AB function and the slider can be set between 1 and 9. When AB is not selected this value will apply an absolute brightness based on a setting between 0 and 90.

Contrast Highlight The contrast settings extend from 0 to 15. Changing these settings will cause the scanned image to either increase or decrease the range between dark and light areas. A low contrast setting will result in each pixel being set to a value closer to the median (gray) while a high contrast setting will result in each pixel being set to a value closer to its absolute. In other words, light pixels get lighter and dark pixels get darker. A high contrast can be desirable when trying to enhance dark objects on a less-than-white background. Contrast cannot be adjusted from the front panel.
Contrast Shadow The relative contrast adjusting level for shadow output images. This setting can be adjusted in 15 levels marked 7 to +7. Center Erase Take out the line between two pages from a book. Enable center erase With this check box selected it enables the scanner to remove the centerline. Center erase width Allows you to set the width of the centerline to erase. Auto erase position This automatically detects centerline erase position. The Action Buttons The Action buttons allow you to interact with the driver User Interface to accomplish important tasks or launch support windows. Here is a detailed description of what these buttons do:
Scan Clicking the Scan button will cause the PS 7000 to initiate a scan using the currently selected configuration. Scans can also be initiated by pressing the Start button on the PS 7000s front panel. When operating the PS 7000 in Batch Scan Mode (see below) this button will be disabled and all scans must be initialized via the front panel Start button. Scan All When the PS 7000 is set for Dual Scan Mode the Scan button will change to a Scan All button. In addition to the Scan All button a Scan Left and a Scan Right button will activate under the Preview Window. The user now has a choice of three potential scan buttons. The Scan All button will cause the PS 7000 to scan both the left and right half of the total scan area and return two separate images to the application.

Cancel Use the Cancel button to close out the driver window without initiating any scans. Help Clicking the Help button will launch the TWAIN driver help file. This file contains detailed information on working with the driver. Much of the information contained in this guide can be found within the Help file.

Section 7 -The PS 3000 TWAIN Driver Users Guide
The PS 3000 is Minoltas first generation planetary scanner and is the predecessor to the PS 7000. It uses advanced technology to digitally capture images from an overhead position and can utilize built-in intelligence for compensating for book curvature to ensure clean, undistorted images from bound originals.
The PS 3000 Scanner Setup User Interface
When a software application (such as Adobe Acrobat , Photoshop , etc.) is instructed to acquire an image, it will launch the PS 3000 Scanner Setup Window. This is your User Interface (UI) for communicating to the TWAIN driver. It allows you to configure the PS 3000 as you like prior to scanning. Please note that the PS 3000 utilizes two scan buttons located on the book cradle itself. These buttons can be used to duplicate the scan buttons found in the User interface.
Important Note: Unlike the MS 6000 or MS 7000, the Front Panel controls (except for the actual scan buttons) cannot be used to configure or control the PS 3000. When a scan takes place whatever settings are chosen in the driver will take precedence.

Scan Settings:

The Scan Settings section allows you to define most of the key elements of the scanners settings. They are as follows: Scan Mode Because the PS 3000 has a large 11 x 17 scan area, it is capable of actually capturing two 8 x 11 side-by-side images with one scan command. The Scan Mode setting allows users to choose whether to have the PS 3000 deliver either one image or a series of two images one each for the left and rights sides. Your choices in the Scan Mode drop-down box are:
Single When in single scan mode, the PS 3000 driver will deliver one image as defined by the scan area marker in the preview window (see below). Dual When in dual mode the PS 3000 will automatically divide the total scan area into two 8 wide by 12 high scan areas. When the actual scan takes place one image from each of these scan areas can be delivered using the Scan All button (see below) or just the left or right side image can be captured using the Scan Left/Scan Right button beneath the preview window. You can also us either Start button on the PS 3000s scan cradle to initiate a scan. Resolution (DPI) This drop-down box allows you to select the resolution at which the scanner will deliver data to the scanning software. The resolution is measured in Dots Per Inch or DPI. Available settings for the PS 3000 are 200, 300 and 400 DPI.

Higher DPI settings will result in better quality scans as well as longer scanning times. In addition, higher resolutions will result in larger file sizes.
Note: The optical resolution of the scanner is 400 DPI. All other resolutions are derived from reduction algorithms. Paper Size This drop-down box allows you to select the actual Scan Area captured by the PS 3000. The driver supports a wide range of standard U.S. and European sizes. The scan area selected will be reflected in the Preview Window via a dashed box. When in single scan mode any selected size will be centered in the middle of the 11 x 17 scan area. Please note that when in Dual Scan mode you cannot select an area larger than 8 x11 as two images larger than this would exceed the total 11 x 17 scan area. Original is Photo When this box is checked, the PS 3000 will perform a dithering process that will produce an overall lighter image tending to better capture lower-contrast areas of the original.
Book Compensation When this box is checked the PS 3000 will perform a curvature correction for an uneven curved surface. This should be used when any tightly bound or uneven book or bound material is being captured. Please note that when enabled, Book Compensation will add one to two seconds onto the scan speed time. When scanning flat surfaces or relatively even books this box should not be checked. Use Panel Settings Due to numerous conflict and usage problems, this feature has been disabled in the current version of the driver. We hope to offer some Front Panel support in a future version of the driver. Automatic Mask Mode This setting will try to auto detect black (or darkly shaded) areas around the border of an image and convert these pixels to match the images background. Note that since pixels arent cropped with this feature, the number of pixels captured (and hence the images dimensions) will remain constant.
Warnings Clicking the Warnings button will open the Warning Settings Window. This Window allows you to enable or disable three warning settings, they are: Binding Height Warning The PS 3000 has a maximum focal height of about 2 inches above the book cradle. When this box is checked, the PS 3000 will indicate when it is unable to

You should now be able to scan multiple images from the front panel of the scanner. Click the Done button in the Minolta Transfer Status Window when finished.
Rulers A horizontal ruler runs along the top of the window while a vertical ruler runs along the left. The box in the upper left corner indicates which form of measurement (inches or centimeters) is currently being used for the ruler. Left clicking on this box will switch the form of measurement between inches and centimeters. The Window The preview window itself represents the entire 11x17 scan area of the PS 3000. Within the preview window will be an outlined rectangle (or two rectangles in dual scan mode). This outline represents the actual area that the scanner is currently set to capture. This outline can be changed by selecting a preset paper size from the Paper Size drop-down box. Once a paper size is selected it will be represented in the preview window. Scan Left / Scan Right Buttons When the PS 3000 is set to scan in Dual Scan Mode these two buttons will become enabled and the Scan Action Button (see the Action Buttons section below) will change to a Scan All button. The Left/Right buttons can then be used to scan only one side of the total scan area rather than scanning both sides at once as would happen with the Scan All button.
Brightness Controls This set of controls allows users to change the composition of the scanned image as detailed below. Please note that when using the slider bar you may notice some slight lag or resistance - this is normal and is due to the bi-directional communication between the driver and scanner.
Automatic Brightness Check this box if you wish to have the scanner perform a prescan and apply an appropriate brightness setting based on the detected original. Automatic brightness will assume an original of normal exposure. Brightness Changing this value will cause the scanned image to appear lighter or darker. When automatic brightness (AB) is selected this value will work as a small adjustment to the brightness applied by the AB function. The slider can be set between 0 and 8. The Action Buttons The Action buttons allow you to interact with the driver User Interface to accomplish important tasks or launch support windows. Here is a detailed description of what these buttons do:
Scan Clicking the Scan button will cause the PS 3000 to initiate a scan using the currently selected configuration. Scans can also be initiated by pressing either Start button on the PS 3000s book cradle. When operating the PS 3000 in Batch Scan Mode (see above) this button will be disabled and all scans must be initialized via the book cradles Start buttons. Scan All When the PS 3000 is set for Dual Scan Mode the Scan button will change to a Scan All button. In addition to the Scan All button a Scan Left and a
