You can assign the Start button to any Windows program that supports scanner events, such as Adobe Acrobat. If you have a compatible program, it will appear in the selection window.

If you want to assign a different program to the Start button, follow the steps below. The steps you use depend on the version of Windows you have.

Note:

If you want to be given a choice of programs whenever you press the Start button, click the Prompt for which program to run button instead. If you want to disable the button from opening a program, click the Take no action button instead.
