Follow these steps to scan a document using CaptureOnTouch Lite (Windows)

    When you open the feed tray, the Start button on the scanner lights and the auto play screen appears.

     
    If you are using Windows XP and you set the Auto Start switch to ON before connecting the scanner to the computer, a message requesting that you restart your computer may appear when you turn ON the scanner. You can continue normal use even if you click [No] and do not restart the computer.

    The [ONTOUCHLITE] folder opens.
