Automatic Linkage with Applications

When one of the applications which can automatically link with ScanSnap Manager is running and you perform scanning, ScanSnap Manager will automatically link with the corresponding application regardless of the current scan settings or whether you are using the Quick Menu.

Applications that can automatically link with ScanSnap Manager are as follows:

  • ScanSnap Organizer

    Scanned image is displayed in ScanSnap Organizer.

  • CardMinder

    Scanned image is displayed in CardMinder.

  • Rack2-Filer Smart

    Scanned image is saved in Rack2-Filer Smart.

  • Rack2-Filer

    Scanned image is saved in Rack2-Filer.

  • Magic Desktop

    Scanned image is saved in Magic Desktop.

  • Scan to Mobile (*1)

    Scanned image is sent to a mobile device.

    ATTENTION

    To enable automatic linkage with [Scan to Mobile], a mobile device must be connected to the computer beforehand.

    For details about connecting to the computer from your mobile device, refer to the Basic Operation Guide (Mobile Connection) for your mobile device.

*1: Automatic linkage is available only when the application is active.

There are two modes for automatic linkage.

Link when one of the above applications is active (recommended)

When one of the above applications becomes active (with the application's window brought to the front and selected on the taskbar), performing a scan by pressing the [Scan] button automatically starts linkage between ScanSnap Manager and the active application.

Linkage When an Application is Active

The example above shows ScanSnap Manager automatically linking with ScanSnap Organizer when ScanSnap Organizer's main window is in front (active).

Always link when one of the above applications is running

When one of the above applications is started, the application specified for [Application] in the [Application] tab in the ScanSnap setup window automatically switches to the running application. The application will automatically link with ScanSnap Manager even when the application window is minimized or not displayed in the front. The linkage between the application and ScanSnap Manager automatically ends once you exit the application.

When more than one application is running at the same time, priority will be given in the following order:

  1. CardMinder
  2. ScanSnap Organizer
  3. Rack2-Filer
  4. Rack2-Filer Smart or Magic Desktop
    ATTENTION

    For Rack2-Filer Smart and Magic Desktop, linkage priority is given to the application that is launched second.

    Example:

    If you start up Rack2-Filer Smart when Magic Desktop is already running, ScanSnap Manager will link with Rack2-Filer Smart.

When the Quick Menu is disabled, the name of the interacting application on the Left-Click Menu is followed by "is interacting".

ATTENTION

When ScanSnap Manager automatically links with CardMinder

  • Scanning is performed with the current settings. If there are some settings that are not supported by CardMinder, the default settings are used.

    For details about CardMinder default settings, refer to the ScanSnap Manager Help.

  • ScanSnap Manager automatically links with CardMinder when the document is of business card size. When documents of other sizes are scanned, ScanSnap Manager and CardMinder are not automatically linked, and an error message appears.
