Auto Quicksets

Web Server (EWS) or the control panel and initiate that QuickSet without use of the printer touch screen. Instead,
the QuickSet is initiated at the control panel by pressing the keyboard ALT button + [number key] or via Voice
command.
For example: a user can create a function that scans to email, at 600dpi, in JPEG format, to a predetermined
email address without the need for selecting all of these options every time.
Creating the QuickSet in the EWS
1. Log into the EWS.
2. Select the General tab, then select QuickSets from the list.
3. Select Add to create a new QuickSet.
4. Follow the steps in wizard to complete the QuickSet conguration.
NOTE: For the QuickSet to become an Auto Quickset, it must be named exactly in the following format:
● QuickSet Name: Auto Quickset <number> (Up to 10 auto QuickSets are allowed, numbered 0-9).
● Start instantly when selected from the Home Screen Quick Set Start option must be selected.
Initiating the Auto Quickset
After the QuickSet has been saved, initiate the Auto Quickset using these options:
● Via the "Quick Sets" icon on the touch screen
● Hard pull-out keyboard on
ow models
● Supported USB plug-in keyboard
