■ Full Install (OneTouch, TWAIN and ISIS)—This is the recommended installation. It installs the OneTouch 4.0 software which provides the necessary driver software for the scanner. It also installs scanning interfaces for TWAIN, Microsoft’s Windows Image Acquisition (WIA), and the ISIS driver. Installing this option means that you can use several different methods to scan, as explained in this User Guide.
■ TWAIN and ISIS—The TWAIN and ISIS drivers are installed. The OneTouch 4.0 Monitor will not run and you cannot use the OneTouch features. You can use the TWAIN driver to scan from other TWAIN applications, and from WIA on Windows XP computers. You can also scan from applications that use the ISIS driver.
■ TWAIN only—Only the TWAIN driver is installed. You will only have access to the Visioner 9650 TWAIN driver and WIA (Windows XP only). You will not be able to use the OneTouch 4.0 software.

- ISIS only—The ISIS driver is installed. You can use applications that use the ISIS driver to scan. You can use WIA to scan if your computer is running Windows XP. You will not be able to use the TWAIN driver or OneTouch to scan.

Note: If you decide to change your scanner's installed drivers later on, you must first uninstall the drivers the scanner is currently using. See the section "To Install Another Driver" on page 144.

19. Click Next.

During installation you will see this window asking you to select one of the images for your Color Space setting.

The Color Space setting sets the gamma value for the scanner so scanned items look good on your monitor. Gamma controls the brightness of the midtones of colors. That setting can be changed later on as you're scanning.

Illustration of a medical device connected to a power outlet with cables and connectors (no text or symbols visible)

Now proceed to the next section, "Step 4: Connect the USB Cable and Turn on the Power."

STEP 4: CONNECT THE USB CABLE AND TURN ON THE POWER

Your Visioner 9650 scanner connects to any available USB port. Check your computer's manual for the USB port locations.

Note: You can connect the scanner to your computer while the computer is running. You do not have to shut down your computer.

1. Remove any protective tape from the USB cable.
2. Plug the USB cable into the USB port on the scanner then into a USB port on the computer. Connection to a USB 2.0 High Speed port provides optimum performance, however your scanner will also connect to a USB 1.1 port.

The USB symbol, as seen in the above diagram, identifies the location of the USB port on your computer. If the plug does not attach easily, make sure that you are plugging it in correctly. Do not force the plug into the connection.

You can also connect the scanner to a USB port on the computer's keyboard if it has one, or to a USB hub. If you use a USB hub, it must have its own power supply already plugged into an electrical outlet.

Note: If you have not installed the scanner driver, unplug the USB cable from the computer and install the software now. When the driver installation is complete, a message tells you when to connect the scanner.

1. Turn on the power switch, located on the back of the scanner.

Diagram of a portable electronic device connected to a tower-mounted server, with power outlet and cables nearby (no text or symbols)

The status light comes on and flashes indicating that the scanner is receiving power.

If you are using Windows XP Service Pack 2, and have plugged the USB cable into a USB 1.1 port, an information bubble may open explaining that “A HI-SPEED USB device is plugged into a non-HI-SPEED USB hub”. Plug the USB cable into a USB 2.0 port (if available) or just disregard the message. If you leave it plugged into the USB 1.1 port, your scanner may scan a bit slower.

1. Your computer recognizes that a scanner is plugged into the USB port and automatically loads the appropriate driver software to run the scanner.

Do not proceed until you receive a message that your computer has found the new hardware, or updated the driver database. If your computer is running Windows XP, you will see the following message.

1. When you're certain that the software has completely loaded, return to the "Complete the installation by connecting your hardware" window.

Note: To see more information about your scanner, click the More button on the window. When you're finished, return to the window above to continue with the installation process.

1. Click OK.

2. Click Close on the Installation Complete window to close and exit the software installer.

1. When the window appears for installing the QuickScan software, click Next and follow the instructions on the screen.

VIEW THE USER GUIDES

The User's Guides for your Visioneer 9650 scanner, and for the PaperPort software are also on the Installation CD.

To view the user's guides:

1. Return to the Installation window and click User Guides.

The Visioneer User Guides window opens. Use this window to view and save the User Guides you want.

The User Guides are in Adobe ^® Acrobat ^® PDF format. The CD also includes a free copy of Acrobat ^® Reader ^® in case your computer does not have it already installed. The Scanner Readme file is in HTML format and will open in any standard browser.

If you need to, click Acrobat Reader to install it now. Follow the instructions on the installation windows.

To view and save the User Guides:

1. Click the name of a User Guide you want to view and it will open in Acrobat Reader. Use the Acrobat Reader Save command to save that User Guide on your computer.

Scanning

If you selected the recommended Full Install option for your scanner's driver (see page 13), you have several options for scanning. Each method scans equally well so use the one with appropriate options for the item you are scanning. The scanning options available with the Full Install are:

■ OneTouch—Open the OneTouch scan panel, adjust the scan settings as needed, put the document in the scanner, then click one of the button icons on the OneTouch panel. See “Scan From the OneTouch Button Panel” on page 27.
■ TWAIN Interface—This option uses your scanner's TWAIN interface to scan. Select scanning options before scanning, put the document in the scanner, then click a button on the TWAIN interface window. The PaperPort software that you installed for your scanner uses the TWAIN interface for scanning, but many other programs use it too so you can scan from them, as well as from PaperPort. See “Accessing the TWAIN Interface from PaperPort” on page 93.
■ WIA Interface—This option uses the Microsoft Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) interface to scan. Select scanning options before scanning, put the document in the scanner, then click a button on the WIA interface window. You can access the WIA interface from the PaperPort software, or from other applications on you computer. See “Scanning with the WIA Interface” on page 119. The WIA interface is only available if your computer is running Windows XP.
- ISIS Interface—This option uses the ISIS interface for scanning. Select the ISIS scan settings, put the document in the scanner, then click a button on the ISIS window. See “Scanning with the ISIS Interface” on page 127.

LOADING DOCUMENTS TO SCAN

Your scanner can scan a stack of documents or a single item.

The button names, such as PDF, eMail or Fax, indicate the original factory settings for the Destination Application assigned to a button. When you installed OneTouch, it searched your computer for applications that will work with the scanner, then listed them as available Destination Applications on the OneTouch Button Panel and the OneTouch Properties window.

For example, the eMail button is set up to scan documents then immediately attach them to a new email message in your computer's email program. But you can change the name, the Destination Application, and any of the other aspects of the button.

A question mark for a button, such as shown for button 5, means your computer does not have appropriate software for the initial factory settings (Fax software in this example). In that case, you would probably want to change the name and Destination Application to something else. For example, if you scan a lot of documents that have faint images, such as hand-drawn sketches in light pencil, you might want to change the button's name to Sketches, and the Destination Application to Microsoft Paint, or some other drawing program.

A folder icon for a button, such as shown for button 7, means that the button is set up to archive the scanned item. The scanner sends the scanned image directly to a folder without opening the image first in a Destination Application. Use the archiving option when you don't need to see the scanned images, but simply want to store them in a folder.

The default archive folder for button 7 is at C:\Documents and Settings\\My Documents\My OneTouch Archive\PDF Documents. It is named PDF Documents because button 7 is set to scan to the PDF file format. If you set up an archive button to scan to another format, such as TXT, the folder would be named TXT Documents. To see a scanned image that has been archived, open it using the appropriate application for the format. For example, to see a TXT image, open it with Microsoft Word or WordPad

See “Configuring the OneTouch Buttons” on page 34 to change the settings of the buttons on the OneTouch Button Panel.

THE DEFAULT ONETOUCH SETTINGS ON YOUR SCANNER

Your scanner is preconfigured to scan items for various basic tasks, such as email or fax, then send the scanned image to an appropriate, preselected Destination Application. The following table shows these factory-default settings. You can change any of these settings.

When a computer screen is set to a lower resolution, bitmap images with a higher resolution may be too big to fit on the screen. Converting the bitmap image to match the screen resolution ensures that the image fits on the screen.

Convert Bitmaps to JPEG—JPEG files can be compressed to produce smaller files sizes and, therefore, shorter transmission times. Use this option to provide that compression capability to image files.

1. Click OK.

2. Click OK or Apply on the OneTouch Properties window.

SELECTING PAGE FORMAT OPTIONS

The Page Format options that you select determines the file format of the scanned document. Appropriate page format options and file types are available for the type of Destination Application selected for the button.

The available options are for images and text.

The Text Formats are for text file types. The names of the formats indicate their file types. See “Text Formats” on page 51 for details.

IMAGE FORMATS

Select an image file format for photos, artwork or other documents that you want to save as images. BMP and TIFF are standard image file formats generally used if you want to do additional image processing, such as photo touch-up or color correction. Both of those file formats tend to be larger than the JPEG format.

Because JPEG image files can be reduced in size, the JPEG format is often used for images on web pages, or if file size might be a problem when electronically sending the files. JPEG files are reduced in size by lowering their image quality, and you can select the degree of quality for your scanned images from the JPEG file format icon.

The PDF format is often used to create images of text pages. You may want to select PDF as the page format when scanning text pages that do not require OCR processing. The PDF format is also used to put multi-page documents on web sites as PDF-readable files. As with the JPEG option, the PDF format can be reduced in size or quality.

To select a JPEG or PDF file size:

1. Select JPG or PDF as the page format.
2. Right-click on the JPG or PDF icon.

A menu opens.

1. Choose the file size/image quality option for your scanned images.

Minimize Size—Smallest file size, lowest image quality.

Normal—Medium file size, some loss of image quality.

Maximum Quality—Largest file size, no loss of image quality.

Your selection pertains only to the button currently selected on the OneTouch Properties window. Other buttons that have JPG or PDF selected as the Page Format are not affected, so you can set the JPEG or PDF file size/image quality independently for each button.

1. Click OK or Apply on the OneTouch Properties window.

TEXT FORMATS

Selecting the text format option also selects OCR processing as an automatic step for scanning. Therefore, when you scan a document with the text format selected, the text portions of the document are automatically converted to editable text. See “Scanning with Optical Character Recognition (OCR)” on page 53.

Select a text format for documents with text or numbers, such as a business letter, report, or spreadsheet. The text format icon may have additional file formats available, depending on the Destination Application you select.

The specific file format is the file name extension on the text format icon.

The specific text format; this example is for Microsoft Word Rich Text Format.

As you select Destination Applications that are text applications, the text format icon changes to match the file type of the application. In some cases, the Destination Application supports several file types, and you can right-click on the icon to choose the particular file type for that application.

To select a file type for the text format:

1. Select the Destination Application.

2. Right-click on the text format icon.

A menu opens. The following figure shows the options for the TEXT format. The menu options depend on the type of Destination Application you select.

Example menu for the Text format.

1. Choose the file type that you want for the text format.

Your selection of a file type pertains only to the button currently selected on the OneTouch Properties window. Other buttons that have a text option selected as the Page Format are not affected, so you can set the text file type independently for each button.

Simple Text—The .txt file format. Text with no formatting; used by the standard Microsoft Notepad application.

Rich Text Format—The .rtf file format. Text that retains formatting when converted. Available with Microsoft Wordpad and Word.

Excel Spreadsheet—The .xls file format used by Microsoft Excel.

HTML Document—The .htm file format used to create web pages.

1. Click OK on the OneTouch Properties window.

SCANNING WITH OPTICAL CHARACTER RECOGNITION (OCR)

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) converts text and numbers on a scanned page into editable text and numbers. You can then work with the text and numbers to edit, spellcheck, change font or type size, sort, calculate, and so forth.

Note: Visioneer recommends that all OCR processing use the original factory settings for OCR scanning that came with your scanner. When scanning with other settings, use at least 300 dpi for the resolution. If the original documents are of poor quality and have small type, 400 dpi can be used as the maximum resolution.

To scan with OCR:

1. Select a Destination Application that has one of the Text formats (TEXT, RTF, XLS, or HTML).

2. Scan the document.

Your scanned pages appear in the Destination Application with their text ready for editing and other text processing.

Note: OCR scanning is also for spreadsheets so you can work in Microsoft Excel (or other spreadsheet applications) with the figures and text from the original spreadsheets.

To select OCR settings

1. Select the Destination Application.
2. Right-click on a text format icon.

3. Choose OCR options.

A dialog box of OCR options opens.

1. Select the option you want for the OCR conversion of your documents.

Auto orient page—Select this option to check the page orientation and automatically rotate an improperly oriented page image so the text is recognizable by the OCR process.

Single column output— Select this option to produce a single column of text in the Destination Application, even if the original image had multiple columns of text.

5. Click OK.

Note that the OCR options apply to all the Destination Applications for which OCR applies. If you change them for one Destination Application, those changes apply to the others as well.

The OneTouch buttons have names that identify their pre-set functions, such as OCR and PDF, but you can edit the names.

To change the button names:

1. Open the OneTouch Properties window.
2. Using the arrows, choose the button that you want to rename.
3. Select the name's text and type a new name.

4. Click OK or Apply.

The button is now renamed.

SELECTING OPTIONS FOR A BUTTON

The OneTouch Options determine the types of Destination Applications available for a button, as well as the location of the files of your scanned items.

To select options:

1. Open the OneTouch Properties window and click the Options tab.

1. Click the menu arrow and choose the button for new options.

2. Select button options as described below.

Show All Destinations—This option selects all the Destination Application categories. The list of Destination Applications available for the selected button will include all the applications on your computer that fall into these categories. This is the default selection for Button 8 (Custom). The list also includes printers and other devices connected to your computer so, for example, you can scan an item and have it printed immediately.

Select Destinations—Select this option to individually choose the types of applications to include in the list of Destination Applications. Check the boxes for the type of application to include.

■ Document Management includes PaperPort and other applications for processing and keeping track of your scanned documents.
■ Image Editors include Microsoft Paint and other drawing and graphics applications.
■ Text Editors include Microsoft Word and WordPad, Microsoft Excel, and other word processing and spreadsheet applications. Select this option if you want OCR processing to convert your scanned documents to text that you can edit.
■ PDF applications are for documents scanned to PDF format.
- Email includes Microsoft Outlook and other email applications. See “eMail Properties” on page 47 for details about attaching scanned documents to your email messages.
■ Storage and CD-R/W is for either storing scanned documents in a folder, or sending them to a CD burner to create a CD containing the scanned documents. See “Transferring Scanned Documents to Storage” on page 85 and “Scan and Burn to a CD” on page 78 for details.
■ Fax and Print is for sending your scanned documents directly to your printer or fax software for faxing.
■ Sti event forwarding is for using another application's interface for scanning. The OneTouch Event Forwarding dialog box opens so you can select which application to use to continue scanning. See “Scanning with Event Forwarding” on page 80 for details.

1. After selecting a new category of Destination Applications, click the Multi Function tab to see which ones are added to the list.

Show Progress Window—Select this option to display the progress window of the document(s) during scanning.

Create copies of scanned documents—Sometimes the image of a scanned document is only saved as a temporary file until its Destination Application is finished using it. In those cases you may want an additional, permanent copy saved on your hard drive.

For example, if you scan a picture to an email application, the scanned image is saved as a temporary file, then attached to the email, and the email is sent. Later, the temporary file of the scanned picture is deleted. The same situation may occur when you scan directly to a printer or scan to a fax application. After a scanned item is printed or faxed, its temporary file is deleted. However, by selecting this Create copies of scanned documents option, you can choose to save permanent copies of the scanned items on your hard drive.

The copies will be saved in the folder specified in the Folder Copy Options section (see the figure on page 59 and the description below).

This option is not available if either the Document Management or Storage and CD-R/W options are selected because, by default, file copies for those types of Destination Applications are already automatically saved in the folder for copies.

For that reason, this option is not available for the default settings of OneTouch Buttons 1 and 2. Those buttons have PaperPort as their Destination Applications, and PaperPort is a Document Management application.

Likewise, the option is also not available for the default setting of Button 7 (Archive), because it is set as Transfer to Storage with the Destination Application type set as Storage and CD-R/W.

Folder Copy Options—This section of the dialog box sets the location for copies of your scanned documents and how you want to group them.

Click the Browse button and find the folder for the copies. Select the grouping option for the documents. The Group by button option groups the documents under the name of the OneTouch button. For example, if the button is named Printer, the documents are grouped under the name Printer. Group by type arranges the

scanned documents by the type of file, such as .doc or .jpg. If you also want to group them by date you can choose the week and month options.

The following example shows the folders when the selections are Group items by type and Group items by month.

1. Click OK to save the options for the selected button.

CREATING A NEW SCAN CONFIGURATION

The scan configurations are where you select the scanning resolution, brightness, mode (color, black&white, or grayscale), and a number of other settings.

Note the lock icon on the preset configurations. Although you can unlock and edit the preset configurations, we recommend that you leave them locked, and only add new configurations. That way, you will always have the original factory-set configurations available.

To create a new configuration:

1. Open the OneTouch Properties window and make sure the Multi Function tab is selected.

2. Scroll through the applications in the Select Destination list and click the type of application for which you want to create a new scan configuration.

When you create a new scan configuration, it will be listed for the buttons that are set for the same types of Destination Applications. For example, if you create a new configuration for a button that is set to show image editor applications, that new configuration is also listed for any other buttons set for image editors, but not for

buttons set for text editing applications. Thus, you can create specific sets of scan configurations for specific functions and they are listed only when appropriate.

3. Click the New button.

If you want to start from the settings of another configuration, select the configuration, then click the Copy button.

If the Scan Settings tab is not selected, click it.

4. On the Scan Configuration Properties dialog box, type a name.

Note: If you select a printer or other device in the Select Destinations list, the dialog box may have an additional Device Settings tab for setting specific options for the particular device.

1. Select scan settings for the new scan configuration.

Mode—Select a scanning mode:

■ Black&White to scan in black and white. For example, letters and memos are usually scanned in black and white. This scan mode produces the smallest file size.
■ GrayScale to scan items such as documents containing drawings or black and white photographs. The scanning produces an image of up to 256 shades of gray.
■ Color to scan color photographs and other color items. Color scans have the largest file size.

Resolution—Drag the slider to the right or left to adjust the dots per inch (dpi) of the resolution. The maximum resolution is 600 dpi; the minimum is 50 dpi. The higher the dpi setting, the sharper and clearer the scanned image. However, higher dpi settings take longer to scan and produce larger files for the scanned images.

Brightness and Contrast—Sometimes an item is scanned with the brightness and contrast set too light or too dark. For example, a note written with a light pencil may need to be scanned darker to improve legibility.

Brightness refers to the lightness or darkness of the image. Contrast is the range between the darkest and lightest portions of the image. The greater the contrast, the more difference between the lighter and darker shades in the image.

Drag the sliders to the right or left to adjust the brightness and contrast of the scanned image. The Contrast setting does not apply to Black&White mode.

1. If you want to lock the configuration, click the Key icon to change it from a Key to a Lock.

2. Click the Page Settings tab to select page settings.

Size—Click Standard, click the menu arrow and choose a page size from the list, or click Custom and enter the horizontal and vertical page dimensions in the boxes. The maximum size for items scanned with the Automatic Document Feeder is 8.5" x 14". The maximum size for items scanned on the Flatbed glass is 8.5" x 11.69". The units of measurement can be inches or millimeters. Click the name of the units, inches or millimeters, to toggle between them.

Improvements and Settings—Only the options that apply to the selected Destination Application are available.

■ AutoCrop to Original—Select this option to let the scanner automatically determine the size of the item being scanned. For example, if you scan a 5"x7" photo, the scanner will determine the size of the photo.

When using the AutoCrop to Original option for a single page on the Flatbed Glass, make sure to align the top left corner of the item with the arrows at the top left corner of the Flatbed Glass.

When using the AutoCrop to Original option with the Automatic Document Feeder, make sure to adjust the paper guides on the scanner so the page is not skewed when it feeds into the scanner. Skewed pages may not scan properly and the autocropped image may not be correct.

Illustration of a hand inserting a card into a V88 printer (no text or symbols visible)

■ Reduce Moire Patterns—Moire patterns are wavy, rippled lines that sometimes appear on the scanned images of photographs or illustrations, particularly newspaper and magazine illustrations. Selecting Reduce Moire Patterns will limit or eliminate moire patterns in the scanned image. This option is only available for the Grayscale or Color Mode at 300dpi or less.

■ Straighten Image—Select this option to let the scanner automatically determine if a page is skewed, then straighten its image. The scanner detects page edges and can sense when the

page is fed through at an angle. However, if the page is fed through at too great an angle, the image may not straighten correctly. In that case, re-scan the page using the paper guides to feed the paper in straight.

■ Invert Image—Only available for Black&White Mode, this option reverses the black and whites of an image.

Original Image Inverted Image

■ Color Filter—Color filter is the ability of your scanner to automatically remove a color from a scanned item. For example, if you are scanning a letter with a red watermark, you can choose to filter out the red so the scanned letter just shows the text and not the red watermark. Color filter applies to Black&White or Grayscale Mode.

THE STORAGE OPTIONS TAB (ARCHIVE)

A Storage Options tab is on the Scan Configurations dialog box when the selected Destination Application is set as Transfer to Storage. You use the options on this tab to select where you want to save your scanned items for storage when scanning with that particular Scan Configuration. Button 7 is set as the default Archive button for scanning to storage, with Transfer to Storage as the destination. So if you want to have the Scan Configuration apply to Button 7, switch to it first before creating the new Scan Configuration.

Note: The selections you make using the Storage Options tab override the storage options that apply to the Storage Properties. This means that you can create separate Scan Configurations to store scanned items at various locations in addition to the main location set by the Storage Properties. See “Storage Properties” on page 45 and “Transferring Scanned Documents to Storage” on page 85 for more details.

1. Click on the Storage Options tab.

1. Click the Storage Layout options you want.

All documents are in the root—The scanned documents are saved in the root of the folder specified in the Storage Location.

Documents are put into folders by month, week, or type— Folders are created based on your selection (month, week, or type) and the scanned documents are saved in those folders. New folders are created for each month and week so you can keep track of when you scanned the documents.

By default, the location of the archived documents is at C:\Documents and Settings\\My Documents\My OneTouch Archive and then in a folder based on your selection for the Storage Layout. For example, if the file type is TIFF, and you select Documents are put into folders by type, the default location of scanned archive documents is at C:\Documents and Settings\\My Documents\My OneTouch Archive\TIFF Documents.

1. If you want to store your archive documents in some other location, click the Browse button to specify the new location.
2. Click OK or Apply.

SCANNING TO MULTIPLE FOLDERS

When archiving documents with the Transfer to Storage option, you can scan them to multiple folders. For example, one folder might be for “Business Receipts,” a second folder might be for “Personal Receipts,” and a third folder might be for “Annual Receipts.”

To scan to multiple folders, you create multiple scan configurations with Transfer to Storage as the Destination Application, and assign each scan configuration to one of the buttons.

Setting up multiple folders for transfer to storage:

1. Using Microsoft Windows, create the folders that you want to use for storing scanned items. Note that you can also create the folders later while creating the new scan configurations.
2. Open the OneTouch Properties window.
3. Select Transfer to Storage as the Destination Application.
4. Click the New button.

The Scan Configuration Properties dialog box opens.

1. Click the Scan Settings, Page Settings, and Advanced Settings tabs, and select the settings you want.

To help you remember which folder it is, give the new configuration a name that indicates the folder name, such as "Storage for Business Receipts."

1. Click the Storage Options tab.

1. Click the Browse button.

2. Select the folder you created for storing the scanned documents.

If you haven't created the folder yet, you can click the Make New Folder button and type the name for the new folder.

1. Click OK. The selected folder will now be set as the Storage Location, such as "Business Receipts."

1. Click Apply. The new configuration is now listed as a Transfer to Storage configuration.

2. Repeat the process to create additional new configurations, such as one named "Storage for Personal Receipts."

3. Make sure to designate separate folders as the Storage Locations for the new configurations.

You will now have multiple configurations set up for the Transfer to Storage destination, and each configuration scans documents to separate folders.

The new configurations apply to the Transfer to Storage Destination Application.

1. Now click the arrow buttons to select a button for each new configuration. Click Apply to set that button for that configuration.

The following examples show that buttons 7 and 8 have been set to scan to each of the new configurations.

Note that the button names have also been changed to Storage 1 and Storage 2 to remind you that both send documents to storage, but to different locations. To change button names, see “Renaming a OneTouch Button” on page 55.

Scan to multiple storage folders:

1. Insert the documents you want to scan to multiple storage folders.
2. Open the OneTouch Panel and click the arrows to get to one of the buttons set up for scanning to storage.
3. Click the button on the OneTouch Panel.
4. When scanning is finished, put the next set of documents into the scanner and click the arrows on the OneTouch Panel to get to the next button you have set up for scanning to storage.
5. Click that button on the OneTouch Panel.

When scanning is finished, the documents are stored in the two separate folders.

EDITING OR DELETING SCAN CONFIGURATIONS

Note: Your scanner comes with a number of configurations pre-set at the factory. We recommend that you keep those configurations locked and do not edit or delete them. That way, you will always have the factory-settings available. If you do edit or delete them, and want to get the factory pre-sets back again, you will need to uninstall then reinstall your scanner.

To edit or delete a scan configuration:

1. Open the OneTouch Properties window.
2. Select the scan configuration you want to edit or delete.

Select the scan configuration to edit or delete. It must be unlocked, as indicated by not having a lock displayed here.

1. To delete the configuration, click the Delete button.

Note: If the Delete button is not available, the selected configuration is locked and cannot be deleted. You must first click the Edit button and unlock the configuration, as explained in the next steps.

1. To edit the configuration, click the Edit button.

The Scan Configuration Properties dialog box opens for that configuration.

You can make changes to a configuration, but for the changes to be saved, the configuration must first be unlocked.

Click the lock icon to unlock the configuration. Clicking it toggles between locking and unlocking the configuration. The key icon indicates the configuration is unlocked.

Click the Key/Lock icon to toggle between locked and unlocked.

1. Edit the settings and click OK.

2. Click OK to close the dialog box.

CONFIGURING BEFORE SCANNING

You can manually configure the scan settings before beginning the scanning process. In that case, you select Configure Before Scan as the Scan Setting. When you press a scan button, one of the scanning interfaces opens for you to set the scanning options.

To configure before scanning:

1. Open the OneTouch Properties window.

2. Using the arrows, choose the button that you want to set to configure before scanning.

3. Select the scan configuration Configure Before Scan.

4. Right-click on Configure Before Scan and choose an interface to use for scanning.

TWAIN—The TWAIN Interface opens for you to make changes prior to scanning. See “Accessing the TWAIN Interface from PaperPort” on page 93.

ISIS—The ISIS Interface opens for you to make changes prior to scanning. See “Scanning with the ISIS Interface” on page 127.

WIA—The Windows Image Acquisition Interface (WIA) opens for you to make changes prior to scanning (available on Windows XP only). See “Scanning with the WIA Interface” on page 119.

Note: choosing Configure Before Scan simply opens the scanning interface when you press or click a scan button. You can then use the interface to change the Resolution, Scan Mode, and other settings. When you scan, the scanned image will still be sent as the file type and to the same Destination Application already selected in the OneTouch Properties window for that button.

5. Click OK or Apply on the OneTouch Properties window.

SCAN AND BURN TO A CD

If you have a CD burner attached to your computer, you can scan directly from your Visioneer 9650 scanner onto a CD. This feature is available only on computers running Windows XP.

To scan and burn to a CD:

1. Put a blank CD into your computer's CD Drive.

2. Open the OneTouch Properties window.

3. Using the arrows, choose a button to use for scanning and burning to a CD.

4. Select Burn to CD as the Destination Application.

The Burn to CD Destination Application is only available if you have a CD burner attached to your computer, but you do not need to have a CD in the burner to select the destination.

1. Choose a Page Format and a Scan Configuration.

2. Click OK.

The OneTouch Properties window closes.

1. Now start scanning using the button you selected to use to scan and burn to CD.

When scanning is finished, a bubble message on the screen tells you that files are waiting to be burned to the CD.

1. Open the OneTouch window and make sure that the Burn to CD Destination Application is still selected and click the Properties button.

The OneTouch 4.0 Link Properties window opens.

1. Make sure a CD is in the CD burner.

2. Click the Burn to CD button.

The CD burner begins and your scanned documents are written to the CD.

Note: Until you click Burn to CD these files are stored in your computer at C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CD Burning. This is where Windows XP stores all files waiting to be burned to a CD by the automatic CD writing wizard. If other files are also waiting in this location, they will get written with the OneTouch files on the CD.

Note: When scanning items to burn to a CD, you should always use one of the factory-set default configurations, or a custom configuration specifically set up for CD burning. The default configurations are already set up to send the scanned images to the proper storage location where the Windows XP CD writing wizard can find the files to burn to the CD. Likewise, when you create a custom configuration for CD burning, the OneTouch software will automatically make sure the storage location is correct.

To create a custom configuration for CD burning, select Burn to CD as the Destination Application, then click the New button and create the new configuration. You won't need to select a storage location because it will be correctly preset for you by the OneTouch software.

Note however, that if you have created other custom configurations with different storage locations (for example, see “Scanning to Multiple Folders” on page 70), do not use them for the Burn to CD Destination Application. Otherwise, the Windows XP CD writing wizard will not be able to find the images to burn onto the CD.

SCANNING WITH EVENT FORWARDING

If you want to specify an application to use for scanning at the start of the process, you can use event forwarding. The scanner will feed in the first page, but will then stop until you select the application to use. After you select the application, its interface will open and you can use it to continue with the scanning.

To scan with event forwarding:

1. Open the OneTouch Properties window.

2. Using the arrows, choose a button to use for the event forwarding.

3. Select Still Image Client as the Destination Application.

Note that you cannot choose a page format for this option because the actual destination application is not selected until after the scanner feeds in the first page of your document.

1. Choose a Scan Configuration.

2. Click OK.

The OneTouch Properties window closes.

1. Start scanning using the button you selected for event forwarding.

A dialog box opens for you to select the application to use for scanning.

1. Select the application in the box and click OK.

Now the application you selected opens and you can continue the scanning from that application's TWAIN interface.

CREATING AN HTML WEB PAGE FROM YOUR SCANNED DOCUMENTS

If you scan a document, whether a single page or multiple pages, you can have the pages converted directly to HTML formatted pages for posting directly to your web site. Those pages are then viewable by visitors to your web site without the need for any internet plug-ins or other special processing. This is, essentially, from your scanner to a web-ready format in one automatic step.

To scan and create an HTML web page:

1. Open the OneTouch Properties window.
2. Using the arrows, choose a button that has Microsoft Explorer as one of its Destination Applications, such as Button 8 (Custom).
3. Select Microsoft Explorer as the Destination Application.
4. Choose HTML as the Page Format.

1. Choose a Scan Configuration that has the settings for the image on the HTML page.

For example, if you want the image to be in color on the HTML page, choose a color configuration.

6. Click OK.

The OneTouch Properties window closes.

1. Now on the OneTouch Button Panel, click Button 8 (Custom) (or if you used another button, click it).

When scanning is finished, the document is first converted to editable text using the OCR process, then is converted into an HTML format. Microsoft Internet Explorer then opens showing your converted page.

Note: Depending on the complexity of the document, its conversion to the HTML format may take a few moments.

1. Choose Save As from the Internet Explorer File menu, give the page a name, and save it in the location you use for your web page files.

You may also want to write down the address shown in the Address bar to make sure you'll know where to find your new HTML page later on.

1. You can now use Microsoft Internet Explorer or other application to post the document to your web page as you would any other HTML page.

TRANSFERRING SCANNED DOCUMENTS TO STORAGE

With the Transfer to Storage scanning process, you can scan documents and save them in a folder in one step. The process is ideal for archiving documents without having to manually save or process them in any other way. If you choose a text format for the file format, the documents are also automatically converted by the OCR process into editable text and numbers before being stored.

Note: OneTouch Button 7 is preset as your Archive button. But you can also set up any other button to scan to Archive the text.

1. On the OneTouch Panel, click the arrows to see Button 7, then click Button 7.

Click the arrows until Button 7 is on the panel, then click it.

Your scanned pages are stored in the location that you specified on the OneTouch 4.0 Link Properties window.

Note: The Storage Location shown in the example above is the default place where your scanned documents are stored if you haven't created any new scanning configurations or selected a new storage location. If you create a new scan configuration that has its own storage location and you use that configuration to scan, your scanned documents will be stored at the new location instead of the default.

To Use OCR Before TRANSFERRING TO STORAGE

If the documents you want to transfer to storage are text documents or spreadsheets, you can have them converted by the OCR process prior to being stored.

1. Open the OneTouch Properties window.
2. Using the arrows, choose Button 7 (Archive), or any other button if it is set up with Transfer to Storage as one of its Destination Applications.

3. Choose a text format as the file format.

4. Choose a Scan Configuration.

5. Click OK.

The OneTouch Properties window closes.

1. Now start scanning using Button 7 (Archive) (or other button you set up for archiving).

When scanning is finished, the documents are saved in the text file format and in the location you specified.

TO TRANSFER DOCUMENTS TO A SERVER OR MAPPED DRIVE

When selecting the storage location for scanned documents, you can select a local folder, or a folder on a server or mapped drive. You select a mapped drive using the Browse button.

1. See “Scanning to Multiple Folders” on page 70 or “Transferring Scanned Documents to Storage” on page 85 for the steps to select the Transfer to Storage options.

2. On either the OneTouch 4.0 Link Properties window, or from the Scan Configuration Properties window, click the Browse button.

The Browse For Folder window opens.

1. Select a storage location on the mapped drive or server for the scanned documents.

Servers and mapped drives are represented by an icon that indicates its network connection.

1. Click OK.

Now when you scan using Transfer to Storage as the Destination Application, the documents are stored on the server or mapped drive.

Scanning with the TWAIN Interface

Instead of using the OneTouch Button Panel to scan, you can scan from the TWAIN interface. The PaperPort application that you received with your scanner uses the TWAIN interface for scanning. This scanning method is particularly helpful when you're using PaperPort to file and save scanned items, or to adjust scanning settings prior to scanning.

A Note About Your Scanner and the TWAIN standard: TWAIN is a widely recognized standard that computers use to receive images from scanners, digital cameras, and other digital devices. This guide shows how to scan with the TWAIN interface from PaperPort. But you can also open the TWAIN interface from many other graphics and imaging applications and scan from them as well. Because the TWAIN interface is the same regardless of the software you use to open it, you can still use the instructions in this User's Guide for scanning. To access the TWAIN interface from other software, please refer to their user's guides, then return to this User's Guide for the steps to scan.

Note: If the OneTouch configuration you are using to scan is set to Configure Before Scan, and the selected option is TWAIN, the TWAIN interface opens right away without opening PaperPort first.

GETTING HELP WITH THE PAPERPORT SOFTWARE

The PaperPort software includes a complete set of help topics that answer questions about each feature of the software. To open the Help Topics window, press the F1 key or choose PaperPort Help from the Help menu. You can also refer to the PaperPort User's Guide on the CD.

ACCESSING THE TWAIN INTERFACE FROM PAPERPORT

The instructions in this section are for accessing the TWAIN interface from the PaperPort application.

To access the TWAIN interface from PaperPort:

1. On the Windows taskbar, click Start, point to Programs, point to ScanSoft PaperPort, then click PaperPort.

The PaperPort desktop opens.

Scan icon. Folders pane.

1. Click the Scan icon on the PaperPort command bar.

Note: The list of scan settings for a configuration applies only to that type of configuration. For example, the Black&White Configuration does not have a setting for adjusting the Color Hue.

The following figure shows an example of the Advanced Interface if you click the Resolution setting in the list, or click the Resolution button.

Note: The information in the scan settings list and the options you select on the various settings panels are interactive. As you change the settings on the panel, the numbers in the list on the left also change.

ADJUSTING THE RESOLUTION

Resolution determines the amount of detail you can see in the scanned image. The resolution setting for a scan is in dots-per-inch (dpi). The higher the resolution, the finer the details. However, higher dpi settings also take longer to scan and produce larger files sizes. Usually the higher resolution settings are used for precision work, such as photographs or fine artwork.

The following figure shows the resolution options.

Note: The location of various buttons on the panels may be slightly different on your Advanced Interface window. The appearance of the window depends on your computer monitor's screen resolution.

To adjust the resolution:

1. To use one of the preset resolutions for typical scanned items, click one of the options in the list.

For example, to set the resolution for scanning a business card, select Business Card. That setting is preset to read small print on a typical business card.

1. To set the resolution manually, drag the Resolution slider to the left to decrease the resolution or to the right to increase it.

You can also type a number directly into the resolution setting box, or click the up and down arrows to increase or decrease the setting. The resolution settings on your Visioneer 9650 scanner range from 50 dpi to 600 dpi.

1. Click Reset to return the resolution to its original setting.

The resolution panel also includes an advanced setting for Moire patterns. Moire patterns are wavy, rippled lines that sometimes appear on the scanned images of photographs or illustrations, particularly newspaper and magazine illustrations. To scan the image and limit or eliminate moire patterns, select the Reduce Moire option. This option is only available from 50 to 300 dpi, and is not available for Black&White mode.

ADJUSTING THE BRIGHTNESS AND CONTRAST

Sometimes an item is scanned with the brightness and contrast set to be too light or too dark. For example, a note written with a light pencil may need to be scanned darker to improve legibility.

The following figure shows the brightness and contrast options. Contrast is only available for Color and Gray Scale configurations.

To adjust the brightness and contrast:

1. Drag the Brightness slider to the left to make the item darker or to the right to make the item lighter.

2. Drag the Contrast slider to the left to decrease the contrast or to the right to increase the contrast.

You can also type a number directly into the brightness or contrast setting boxes, or click the up and down arrows next to the box to increase or decrease the setting.

1. Click Reset to return the settings to their original numbers.

ADJUSTING GAMMA, SATURATION, AND COLOR HUE

If you're using the Color Configuration to scan, you can adjust a group of color settings. Gamma controls the brightness of the color midtones. Saturation is the strength or purity of a color and hue is the color your eyes see as reflected from the image.

The following figure shows the color options.

Maintenance

This section contains information on maintenance activities, troubleshooting, uninstalling, technical support, and scanner specifications.

CLEANING THE SCANNER GLASS

Scanning items that have excessive amounts of dirt or dust may dirty the glass. To ensure the best quality scanned item, wipe the scanner glass with a soft clean cloth to rid the glass of dust or other debris.

CLEARING PAPER JAMS

If your scanner stops scanning due to a paper jam in the Automatic Document Feeder, a warning dialog box appears after a few moments.

To clear a paper jam:

1. Open the Automatic Document Feeder cover.

2. Remove the jammed paper and close the cover.

To reduce the number of paper jams, smooth and straighten paper before scanning, adjust the guides to the paper size, and insert the paper evenly into the ADF.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Regular maintenance of your scanner can help to ensure continual optimal performance.

CLEANING THE AUTOMATIC DOCUMENT FEEDER

You may need to clean the ADF feed mechanism if your documents do not feed easily into the ADF, or several feed in at the same time.

To clean the ADF:

1. Wet a soft cloth with some Isopropyl rubbing alcohol (95%).
2. Open the ADF cover.

Illustration of a hand using a tool to press or adjust a device into a rack (no text or symbols visible)

1. Wipe the feed roller from side to side. Rotate the roller to clean its entire surface.

Note: Please be careful when cleaning the roller. The roller is designed to rotate in one direction only. As you're cleaning the roller, make sure it rotates easily, and continue rotating it in that direction while wiping it clean. Do NOT force the roller to rotate in the opposite direction. Forcing the roller to rotate will damage it, and may cause the scanner to feed pages incorrectly.

1. Wipe the ADF pad from top to bottom. Be careful not to snag the cloth on the springs on either side of the pad.
2. Close the cover when you're finished.

REPLACING THE ADF PAD ASSEMBLY

The ADF pad will wear out and is designed to be a user-replaceable part. Problems with documents feeding into the ADF is an indication that the pad is wearing thin.

You received a replacement pad in the original scanner box, and you can also order a new one. See the “Visioneer 9650 Scanner Parts List” on page 146 for ordering information.

To replace the ADF Pad assembly:

1. Open the ADF cover.

Illustration of a hand using a tool to adjust or install a tray device, with an inset showing the same component (no text or symbols present)

1. Squeeze the plastic clamps that hold the pad assembly in place and lift the pad up and out

Two-step diagram showing hand positioning of a device into a rack, with magnified views highlighting the process (no text or symbols present)

1. Reverse the procedure to replace the new pad into its slots.

REPLACING THE ROLLER ASSEMBLY

After extended use, the roller may wear out and may need to be replaced. It is a user-replaceable part and can be ordered. See the section, "Visioneer 9650 Scanner Parts List" on page 146 for the part number.

Frequent paper jams are a symptom of a worn roller assembly. A worn roller can cause documents to feed in skewed at an angle, or multiple pages to feed at the same time. In both cases, paper jams may occur. A worn roller should be replaced to avoid damage to the scanner's internal parts. However, before replacing the roller you should clean it first as excessive dust on the roller will make it appear worn and smooth to the touch. You cannot properly diagnose a worn roller until you have cleaned it.

To replace the roller assembly:

1. Open the ADF cover.

Illustration of a hand using a tool to cut or install a device into a rack (no text or symbols visible)

1. The roller is located in the ADF cover.

TROUBLESHOOTING

In addition to the troubleshooting information contained in this section, please see the Readme file in the PaperPort directory on your computer's hard drive. The Readme file contains additional information that may help you diagnose problems with the scanner.

If you try all the troubleshooting procedures described in this section and in the Readme file, and the scanner still has problems, you may have a malfunctioning scanner. Please see the technical support card that you received with your scanner for technical assistance telephone numbers. Also visit our web site at www.visioneer.com for additional technical information.

Problem: The scanner won't scan. What's wrong?

Check for one of these possible problems:

• Is a cable loose or not plugged in securely? Inspect all cable connections. Make sure all the cables are plugged in securely.
• Are the scanner's status lights on? Turn on the scanner's power. If the lights still don't come on, plug the power supply into another electrical outlet.
• Is the scanner's locking tab in the locked position? If you tried to scan with the scanner locked, you must unlock the scanner and then restart both the computer and the scanner. Slide the locking tab to the unlocked position and turn off the power to the scanner. Then, restart your computer. While the computer is restarting, turn on the power to the scanner.
• Did you restart the computer after installing the software? If you didn't restart the computer, it may not have loaded all of the software files. Try restarting your computer.
• Did you select another TWAIN source for scanning? If you use multiple TWAIN devices with your computer, you may have selected another source for images. Start the PaperPort software, then click the Scan icon and choose Visioneer 9650.

Problem: During installation I got the error message: PaperPort Installation is not complete. What do I do?

The installation procedure was not successful. You need to reinstall the PaperPort software.

Problem: I got the error message: PaperPort cannot allocate enough memory to perform internal critical operations. What do I do?

Close any other active applications so that additional memory is available. If you click Continue, PaperPort moves the file to the PaperPort data directory and renames the file with the prefix “bad.” This allows you to recover the file later.

To recover the file, you can import it into PaperPort by using the Import command in the File menu.

Problem: If the USB cable is disconnected during a scan, the scanner does not reconnect when the USB cable is plugged back in.

• Unplug the power cable from the scanner, and then plug it back in.

• If the scanner does not reconnect:

• Unplug the power cable from the scanner.

• Restart your computer.
• After the restart is complete, plug the power cable back in.

Problem: The installation will not complete successfully. If installation finishes, the scanner's OneTouch 4.0 options do not seem to work properly. What do I do?

A likely cause is that some driver programs are already installed on your computer for another scanner. They are interfering with the installation and OneTouch options, and you need to remove those other drivers and re-install your Visioneer 9650 scanner. Please see the documentation that you received with the other scanner for the steps to remove its driver programs. You can also use the basic steps in the section “To Install Another Driver” on page 144, but instead of uninstalling OneTouch 4.0, uninstall the other scanner’s driver programs. After uninstalling the other scanner’s driver programs, uninstall OneTouch 4.0 using the steps on page 143, then reinstall it using the steps starting on page 9.
