Chapter I. Installing the Scanner

Before installing your scanner, please verify that you have all of the proper components. A list of the package contents is provided in the Box Contents section of this guide.

Software Installation Requirements

Your scanner comes with the OCR software (ABBYY FineReader Sprint), Business card Recognition Software (HotCard BizCard Finder), document management software (NewSoft Presto! PageManager), the scanner's driver, DocAction, and the image capture software (Plustek DI Capture). All of these software applications use approximately 800 megabytes of hard disk space after they are installed into your computer. To ensure ample room for the installation, as well as for scanning and saving images, a minimum of 1 GB of hard disk space is recommended.

This USB scanner can only operate under the Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional/ XP/ Vista/ 7 operating system.

Hardware Requirements

This scanner connects to your computer through the Universal Serial Bus (USB), which supports hot swap. To determine whether your computer is USB-capable, you must check the rear of your PC to locate a USB jack that looks the same as the one pictured below. Note that on some computers, the USB port at the rear of the computer may be occupied and additional ports may be found on the monitor or keyboard. If you are having trouble in locating the USB port on your computer, please refer to the hardware manual that came with your computer.

Upon examination, you should find one or two rectangular USB ports, which usually appear as shown below.

USB Connector(s)

If you don't find such USB ports on your computer, then you need to purchase a certified USB interface card to add USB capabilities to your computer.

Installing and Setting up the Scanner

Please follow the step-by-step procedures described below to install the Plustek scanner.

1. Press the Scan button on the scanner and the scanning starts immediately. After the scanner pulls through the paper, you'll see a scanned image of the document in the default saving folder; your scanner is working properly.

Installing Additional Software

Your scanner is TWAIN compliant and functions with virtually all available TWAIN compatible software. If you purchase additional software to be used with your scanner, please make sure that it conforms to the TWAIN standard.

Chapter II. Scanning

Your scanner needs to be driven by certain type of software program. Since all documents or images (whether text or pictures) that are acquired from the scanner are treated by your computer as images, most scanning will probably be done from an image-editing program where you can view, edit, save and output the scanned images. An image-editing program has been bundled for your scanner on the included Setup/Application CD-ROM. It will allow you to alter and correct any scanned images by using a variety of filters, tools and effects.

What about scanning text documents and editing them in a word processor? This is the role of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software. OCR software converts the image files that are created from scanning text documents into text files that can be viewed, edited and saved by word processors. An OCR program has also been bundled on the included Setup/Application CD-ROM, and if you wish to use the scanner in this way you should install the OCR software that is included.

DI Capture, as its name suggests, is a specialized document image capture program that allows you to conveniently digitize your paper documents and automatically save their electronic files in the designated folder. If you are not familiar with scanning, no problem: the Scan Wizard will guide you through to complete each scanning task.

The DocAction program, seamlessly integrating the operation of your scanner with your computer and other peripherals, provides a quick and convenient way to perform various scanning functions. With DocAction, you don't need to adjust settings every time you scan. Simply press any button on the scanner's front panel or click any scanning menu item of DocAction on the screen. The scanner starts to scan your paper documents and transfer them to your assigned destination. The destination can be a printer, your E-mail program, files on your disk drives, an image-editing program, etc.

Please refer to the online help of each program to guide you through any questions you may have while scanning within that program.

Using the Scanner Buttons

Your scanner is equipped with buttons designed to make your scanning experience more convenient and efficient.

Scanning from the Scanner's Panel or On-screen DocAction's Execute Menu

The settings for the button on the scanner's panel are configured through DocAction. DocAction offers you quick access to the most frequently-used scanning

functions. They are especially useful when you need to repeatedly scan with the same settings and send images to the same destination.

The button on the scanner panel will be used in this guide to demonstrate the scanner operations. You may also use DocAction's on-screen Execute menu to perform the same scanning tasks.

Configure Button Settings

Before performing your first scan via scanner buttons, you are recommended to configure the button settings to your needs and preferences first. There are two ways to configure or view the button settings of DocAction:

• Double-click the icon in the Windows system tray.
• Right-click the icon in the Windows system tray, and then choose Button Configuration in the pop-up menu that opens.

Within the "Button Configuration" window, you can find a row of icons running through the left side of the window. Each icon corresponds to a single-touch button on your scanner's front panel (as well as DocAction's on-screen Execute menu). Clicking any icon on the left pane and its current button settings are displayed immediately on the right pane. You may adjust the settings as desired.

Click the Help button within the Button Configuration window for more information about the settings.
