 * 2) In Control Panel, double-click Scanners and Cameras, and then double-click Hewlett-Packard ScanJet  .
 * 3) Click the Events tab, and then, in the Scanner events list, click the appropriate button.
 * 4) In the Send to this application list, click to select the check box of the program that you want to assign to the selected button, and then click OK.



STATUS
