SCANNER, STORAGE MEDIUM, AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18475330 titled 'SCANNER, STORAGE MEDIUM, AND METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a scanner with three buttons on the display device: one for accessing scan settings, one for immediately performing a scan with the first setting, and one for immediately performing a scan with the second setting.
- The scanner includes a display device with three buttons for different scan functions.
- The first button transitions to a setting screen for scan settings.
- The second button initiates a scan with the first setting.
- The third button initiates a scan with the second setting.
Potential Applications
