SCANNING AN ITEM
The following procedures explains the basic steps for scanning an item
either using the button on the front of the scanner or by selecting the
Twain icon in PaperPort.
You can scan many types of items, from small business cards to A4-sized
pages. The Visioneer scanner also has special settings for scanning color
photos and fine print (like the fine print on a contract). For more
information about scanner settings, see “Adjusting Scanner Settings” on
page 11.
Using the scanner button:
1. If the PaperPort software isn’t currently running, press the button
on the scanner. The PaperPort Desktop appears.
2. Open the scanner cover, place the item you want to scan face down
onto the upper left edge of the scanner glass, and close the cover.
3. Press the button on the scanner.
The Visioneer Scan Manager dialog box appears.
If you click the button again, this only previews the item. To scan
you must click the Scan button on the Visioneer Scan Manager
dialog box.
Note: Your scanner is preset to scan color images. Selecting a new
scanner setting to scan in black and white reduces the scan time and
also produces smaller files for the scanned images. The steps below
explain how to select new scanner settings.
Note: For additional details about the Scan Manager’s features, click
the Help Button in the Visioneer Scan Manager.
