Scan Perfection start button for batch activities ?

[sebastian_xxy]

Hi there!
I wonder if or how it could be possible to engange the start button on my epson perfection 4990 for any useful purpose such as to initiate a batch scan. Each time I place something onto the scanner glas I could save many clicks if that start button was just doing the job..

Any idea ?

Thank, Sebastian

Hi There,

You mean, like a way to automatically predict the kind of material you want to scan, the resolution and kind of corrections needed for every picture with a touch of a button on your scanner?

I do not think it is possible with SilverFast

no, I preset everything and then pushing the start button only the scan & safe process is being automated.
E.G.: yesterday I was scanning 37 contact sheets of my MF Films. Same settings all over, that meant a lot of running around and clicking...

Hi Sebastian,

a completely automated process is not available. You can however save your frameset and load it as preset in SilverFast Ai Studio 8 as shown in the pictures below.

Suppose I have a set of slides and already have scan frames around them with all settings ready, I simply save my set of frames:

Assign a name you want for your frameset

On the following batch of pictures I simply use the previous frameset:

And finally proceed to batch-scan
