2120151 9403994 PCTABS00030 An automatically initiated scanning system in which the presence of an optical record medium, a sheet of paper, for example, initiates scanning. With little or no intervention by the user, one or more processes and/or software are invoked and the scanned optical information is provided to the process or software as a result of the automatic scanning initiation. The scanning system may be used, for example, in the environment of a personal computing system having various capabilities such as printing and/or the transmission of facsimile (''FAX'') and/or electronical mail (''E-mail'') messages. In one embodiment, when the paper is inserted in a slot it is drawn into a scanner and then fed out. The scanned image may also be automatically and immediately displayed, thus providing real time visual feedback to the user. The process or software automatically initiated may be selected in a number of non-exclusive ways if it is not predetermined: (1) the user may select it prior to scanning, (2) the paper being scanned may carry command symbols, and (3) it may be selected after scanning by means of a menu in a pop-up window.
