Line Switches
The ScanShell application behavior can be modified to best suit your needs. This is
done by running the program while using command lines switches. ScanShell offers
the following switches:
MI – Runs the application with minimum amount of control buttons on the main
screen and eliminate access to the configuration dialog screens.
ShowGUI – When using the system tray icon, this switch adds the option to
show/hide the application main screen from the system tray.
NOMAG – Eliminates the use of the magnetic strip engine. Using this option speeds
up the application start-up.
Using the command line switches
To use the command line switch, add the switch to the application shortcut as follows;
Assuming that you have a shortcut to ScanShell on your desktop and you want to add
to the program the MI switch that will cause it to run in minimized mode:
1. Right click on the shortcut and select properties.
2. Modify the TARGET field from "F:\Program Files\Card Scanning
Solutions\ScanShellOCR Ver. 6.3.0\ScanShellOCR.exe"
to: "F:\Program Files\Card Scanning Solutions\ScanShellOCR Ver.
6.3.0\ScanShellOCR.exe" /MI
3. Click OK to close the properties dialog.
Important: Make sure you type the switch value after the double quote character!
You can add several switched one after the other as follows:
"F:\Program Files\Card Scanning Solutions\ScanShellOCR Ver.
6.3.0\ScanShellOCR.exe" /MI /NOMAG /ShowGUI
Running in Minimized Interface mode

controls, thus preventing the user from altering the program configuration.
Nevertheless, this operating mode allows the user to take full advantage of all the
features embedded in the program.
To run in Minimized Interface mode, the program needs to be started with the /MI
switch. To do so, change the program shortcut used to start the program from
"C:\Program Files\Card Scanning Solutions\…\ScanShellOCR.exe" to:
