For Windows Me, 98, and 2000 users:
Click the Events tab in your scanner's Properties dialog box and make sure the Disable device events check box is clear. Also, make sure the desired button is selected in the Scanner events list box, and the desired application in the Send to this application list is selected.

For Mac OS X users:

When in Classic mode, the buttons are disabled. Quit Classic mode. Initially, only the user who installed the scanner software can scan using the buttons. Other users must start EPSON Scanner Monitor in the Applications folder before using the buttons for the first time. From then on, pressing a button will automatically start the application assigned to it.

You can actually scan directly to an application(ex. MS Word application). Also, make sure the Lexmark OCR scan software is installed on your computer (the software is available on the install disc that came with your printer).
1. Load an original document into the ADF or on the scanner glass. 2. Press Scan Mode. 3. Press ? or ? repeatedly until the MS Word application is highlighted. 4. Press check button. 5. Press Start Color or Start Black to start scanning.
