1. Select the option you want.

Note: If your computer is running Windows XP, Microsoft's Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) interface for scanning is always available, regardless of your selection on this window.

■ 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 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 Visioneer TWAIN driver to scan from TWAIN applications. You can also scan from applications that use the ISIS driver. You will not be able to use the Scan button on the scanner.

■ TWAIN only—The TWAIN driver is installed without the OneTouch 4.0 software or the ISIS driver. You can use the Visioneer TWAIN driver to scan from TWAIN applications. You will not be able to use the Scan button on the scanner.

- ISIS only—The ISIS driver is installed. You can use applications that use the ISIS driver, such as QuickScan. You will not be able to use the Scan button on the scanner. You will not be able to use the Visioneer TWAIN driver.

Illustration of a printer with cable and connector, no text or symbols present

Note: Only use the power supply (HEG42-240200-7L made by HiTron) included with your scanner. Connecting any other type of power supply may damage your scanner, and will void its warranty.

Diagram showing connections between a power outlet, a printer, and a cable with connectors (no text or symbols)

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

The Visioneer Strobe XP 450 scanner connects to any available USB port. Check your computer's manual for 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 and 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.

USB

The USB symbol 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 to the left of the power port.

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 than the 20 pages per minute available with a USB 2.0 port.

HI-SPEED USB Device Plugged into non-HI-SPEED USB Hub A HI-SPEED USB device is plugged into a non-HI-SPEED USB hub. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message.

Your computer then recognizes that a scanner has been plugged into the USB port and automatically loads the appropriate 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.

Found New Hardware Your new hardware is installed and ready to use.

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

Complete the installation by connecting your hardware Connect the AC Adaptor to the scanner 1 and an outlet 2 Connect the USB cable to the scanner 3 and your computer 4 Finally turn the scanner on 5 Plug and Play will finish installing the scanner More... OK

5. Click OK.

The scanner's status light is green when the scanner and computer are communicating properly.

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

OneTouch 4.0 Installation Complete OneTouch 4.0 has been successfully installed. Click "Close" to exit. Cancel < Back Close

You can now install free, additional software that you received with your scanner.

Scanning

If you selected the recommended Full Install choice for your scanner's driver (see page 11), you can use several different methods to scan with your scanner. Each method scans equally well, so use the one with appropriate options for the item you are scanning.

■ Scan Button—When you press the Scan button, documents are scanned using the current scan settings. The scanned images are then sent to a software application (known as the Destination Application) or to a storage folder on your computer. See “Load and Scan Documents” on page 24.
■ OneTouch—Use this option to scan from the computer screen. Open the OneTouch scan panel, put the document in the scanner, then click the icon on the OneTouch panel. See “Scan from the OneTouch Panel” on page 28.
■ TWAIN Interface—This option uses your scanner's TWAIN interface to scan. Select the TWAIN scan settings, 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 “Scanning with the TWAIN Interface from PaperPort” on page 87.
■ Windows Image Acquisition (WIA)—This option uses the Microsoft Windows set of choices for scanning. Select the WIA scan settings, put the document in the scanner, then click a button on the WIA window. Scanning with WIA is only available if your computer is running Windows XP. See “Scanning with the WIA Interface” on page 102.
- ISIS Interface—This option uses ISIS driver to scan. Select the ISIS scan settings, put the document in the scanner, then use your ISIS application to scan using the ISIS Interface. See “Scanning with the ISIS Interface” on page 107.

LOAD AND SCAN DOCUMENTS

When you press the Scan button, documents are scanned using the current scan settings. The scanned images are then sent to a software application (known as the Destination Application) or to a storage folder on your computer.

Note: Always remove any staples or paper clips from documents before inserting them into the scanner. Staples and paper clips can jam the feed mechanism and scratch the internal components. Do not scan any document with labels, stickers or Post-It™ notes on the pages. If a label, sticker or Post-It note comes off during the scanning process, the item can get stuck in the scanner. Misuse as described here will void your scanner's warranty.

1. Adjust the paper guide for the width of paper.

If you are scanning legal-size documents, make sure the output tray is fully extended.

SELECTING FORMAT OPTIONS

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

The available options are for images and text.

BMP TIFF JPG PDF TEXT Image Formats. Text Formats; TEXT is one of several text formats available.

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 or other 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.

BMP TIFF JP Minimize Size ✓ Normal Maximize Quality

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.

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

TEXT FORMATS

The Text Formats are for text file types. The names of the formats indicate their file types.

HTML RTF TEXT XLS

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 70.

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

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

The specific text format; this example is for Rich Text Format (RTF) used with Microsoft Word, Wordpad, and other word processing applications.

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 an example for the TEXT format with Microsoft Outlook selected as the Destination Application.

TE> ✓ Simple Text Rich Text Format Excel Spreadsheet HTML Document OCR options ...

SELECTING OPTIONS FOR THE SCAN BUTTON

The OneTouch Options determine the types of Destination Applications available for the Scan 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.

Options tab. OneTouch 4.0 Properties for Visioneer Strobe XP 450 Scan Options Select Button: Scan Show all destinations Document management Image editors (i.e. Paint) Text editing applications (i.e. Word) PDF applications Select destinations: Email Storage and CD-R/A/ Fax and Print Sti event forwarding Show progress window Create copies of scanned documents Folder copy options: Location: C:\Documents and Settings\bgreene\My Documents Browse... Folders: Group items by button Group items by type None SubFolders: Group items by week Group items by month None OK Cancel Apply

1. 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 Scan button will include all the applications on your computer that fall into these categories. 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. See “Scanning with Optical Character Recognition (OCR)” on page 70 for more about OCR.
■ PDF applications are for documents scanned to PDF format.
- Email includes Microsoft Outlook and other email applications. See “eMail Properties” on page 42 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 79 and “Scan and Burn to a CD” on page 72 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 75 for details.

After selecting a new category of Destination Applications, click the Scan 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 or may not 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 48 and the description below).

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

For that reason, this option is not available if the Destination Application is PaperPort because it is Document Management software.

Likewise, the option is also not available if the Destination Application is set to Transfer to Storage because it uses Storage and CD-R/W software.

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 Scan button.

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.

My Scanned Documents BMP Documents December 2005 November 2005 October 2005 JPG Documents December 2005 November 2005 October 2005

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.

OneTouch 4.0 Properties for Visioneer Strobe XP 450 Scan Options Select destination: ScanSoft PaperPort Transfer to Storage Adobe PhotoShop Microsoft Office Document Imaging Microsoft Paint Microsoft Photo Editor 3.0 Refresh Properties... New... Copy... Edit... OK Cancel Apply Select format: BMP TIFF JPG PDF n/a Use Document Feeder Use Flabed The Scan Configurations. The Lock Icon. Click New to create a new Scan Configuration.

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 Scan 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 appear for the same types of Destination Applications. For example, if you create a new configuration for image editor applications, that new configuration also appears for any other image editors, but not for

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

1. 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.

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

OK Cancel Apply

Note: If you select a printer or other device in the Select Destinations list, the dialog box will include the 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 the Black&White mode.

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

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 by 7 inch photo, the scanner will determine the size of the photo.

When using the AutoCrop to Original option, always use the paper guides on the scanner so the page is not skewed. Skewed pages may not crop properly.

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 300 dpi or less.

Straighten Image—Select this option to let the scanner automatically determine if a page is skewed, and 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.

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.

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 40 and “Transferring Scanned Documents to Storage” on page 79 for more details.

1. Click on the Storage Options tab.

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. Type refers to the file type selected as the Page Format on the OneTouch Properties window.

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, then scan using a different configuration for each folder.

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 re-install your scanner driver.

To edit or delete a scan configuration:

1. Open the OneTouch Properties window.
2. Select the scan configuration you want to edit or delete. The following example shows a new scan configuration that was created named "Scan for Light Text."

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.

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 to see the drop-down menu.

TEXT Simple Text Rich Text Format ✓ OCR options ...

3. Choose OCR options.

A dialog box of OCR options opens.

OCR Settings ✓ Auto orient page ✓ Single column output OK Cancel

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.

1. 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.

SCAN AND BURN TO A CD

If you have a CD burner attached to your computer, you can scan directly from your Visioneer Strobe XP 450 scanner onto a CD.

Note: 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. 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. Now click the Scan button to start scanning.

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

1. On the OneTouch window, 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.

Burn to CD ... OK Cancel Apply

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 61), 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. 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.

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. Select Microsoft Explorer as the Destination Application.
3. Choose HTML as the Page Format.

Scanning with the TWAIN Interface from PaperPort

In addition to using the Scan button or the OneTouch 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 if you want 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

√ Create single page items

1. In the “Scan what?” section, choose to scan a Document or Photograph.

If you want to change the format of the scanned item's file name or file type before you start scanning, click Settings. The default file type for documents is .pdf and the default for photographs is .jpg.

1. When scanning documents, use the Create single page items check box as follows:

■When the option is selected, all pages in the Automatic Document Feeder are scanned, the TWAIN interface closes, and each page is placed on the PaperPort Desktop as a separate file.
■When the check box is not selected, the scanned pages are not placed on the PaperPort Desktop until you indicate the scanning job is finished by clicking Done on the TWAIN interface then clicking Done on the PaperPort-Scan window. Multiple pages are “stacked” on the PaperPort Desktop. Not all file types can be stacked on the desktop. Note that items scanned as .jpg files cannot be stacked on the desktop.

1. The option Blank page is job separator is for when you load several separate scanning jobs into the Automatic Document Feeder at the same time. Insert a blank page between them and each job will become a separate stack on the PaperPort Desktop when scanning is finished.

2. Make sure the option Display scanner dialog box is selected.

If this option is not selected, the TWAIN interface will not open when you click the Scan button. Instead, the items are scanned with the basic PaperPort settings. Documents are scanned in Black and White in the PDF file format, and Photographs are scanned in Color in the JPG file format.

1. Click the Scan button on the Scan pane.

The TWAIN interface opens. Use it to select scanning options and to start the scanner.

SCANNING WITH THE TWAIN INTERFACE

This TWAIN interface is lists the scanning options available with your scanner. Greyed out options are not available for your scanner.

Scanning to PaperPort Scan Manager Visioneer Strobe XP 450 Mode Black & White Grey scale Color Letter 8 ½ x 11 in Resolution: 200 dpi Brightness: 50 % Contrast: 50 % Options: Deskew AutoCrop to original AutoCrop to length Duplex Filter: Red Green Blue Reduce Moiré patterns Define page size Define ... AutoScan on document insertion Ready for scan... Scan Done

The options on the TWAIN interface are:

Mode—Select a scanning mode:

Black&White to scan in black and white. The scanning pixels are all the same size and are either black or white. Use this setting for letters, memos, and other black and white material. This scan mode produces the smallest file size.

GreyScale 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. You can also scan a color document to turn its colors into gray shades. The file size is about one third that of a color scan.

Color to scan magazine articles, photographs, and other color images in full color. 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. This option determines the amount of detail you can see in the scanned image. 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. Usually the higher resolution settings are used for precision work, such as photographs or fine artwork.

Brightness and Contrast—Sometimes an image 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. Increasing or decreasing the brightness makes the scanned image lighter or darker. Contrast refers to the difference between the lighter and darker portions of the image. Increasing the contrast emphasizes the difference between the lighter and darker portions, decreasing the contrast de-emphasizes that difference. Contrast is used in conjunction with brightness.

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" x 7" photo, the scanner will determine the size of the photo, and the scan area is the size of that photo.

When using the AutoCrop to Original option, always use the paper guides on the scanner so the page is not skewed.

Filter—The 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. The Filter option applies to the Black&White and GreyScale Modes.

AutoScan on document insertion—Your Visioneer Strobe XP 450 scanner includes AutoLaunch technology that senses when an item is inserted into the automatic document feeder and starts scanning immediately. Select this option to turn on the AutoLaunch feature. The item is scanned with the current scan settings on the TWAIN interface. If this option is not selected, the scanner waits for you to click the Scan button.

Maintenance

This section contains information on maintenance, troubleshooting, uninstalling, scanner specifications, and spare parts.

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. Dampen a soft cloth with some Isopropyl rubbing alcohol (95%).
2. Press the ADF cover release on the top left of the scanner body to open the automatic document feeder cover.

Illustration of two hands installing or adjusting a printer into a device, showing internal components and casing (no text or symbols)

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 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.

CLEARING PAPER JAMS

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

To clear a paper jam:

1. Press the ADF cover release on the top-left of the scanner body to open the Automatic Document Feeder cover.

Illustration of two hands operating a printer to generate a new paper airplane (no text or symbols visible)

1. Remove the jammed paper and close the cover.

Illustration of a printer being inserted into a paper airplane, with a hand adjusting the paper (no text or symbols visible)

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

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.

See the “Visioneer Strobe XP 450 Scanner Parts List” on page 122 for ordering information.

To replace the ADF Pad assembly:

1. Press the ADF cover release on the top left of the scanner body to open the Automatic Document Feeder cover.

TROUBLESHOOTING

In addition to the troubleshooting information contained in this section, please see the Readme file on your installation CD. The Readme file contains additional information that may help you diagnose problems with the scanner.

If you try the troubleshooting procedures described in this section and in the Readme file, and the scanner still has problems, you may have a malfunctioning scanner. Refer to the technical support card that you received with your scanner. 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:

■ Are the cables loose or not plugged in securely? Inspect the cable connections. Make sure the cables are plugged in securely.
- Is the scanner's status light on? Turn on the scanner's power. If the status light doesn't come on, plug the power supply into another electrical outlet.
- 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 plug the scanner into a USB hub? If you're using a USB hub to connect the scanner, the hub must have its own power supply. If the hub does not have its own power supply, plug the scanner into a USB port on the computer.
Did you select another scanning source in the PaperPort Scan Pane? If you use multiple devices with your computer, you may have selected another source for images. Start the PaperPort software and click the Scan icon, then make sure Visioneer Strobe XP 450 is selected as the scanner.

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: With AutoCrop to Original selected, sometimes I get blank pages, or pages with lines. What's wrong?

The pages were probably scanned in crooked, or skewed. To use AutoCrop to Original, the pages must be scanned in straight. Adjust the paper guides on the scanner so pages feed in straight.

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: 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 Strobe XP 450 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 “How to Uninstall Your Scanner” on page 119, but in Step 3, 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 119, then reinstall it using the steps on page 7.

STATUS LIGHT TROUBLESHOOTING CODES
