That’s all you need for great scans. At install, VRS settings are
optimized for your scanner, making it possible to scan documents with a
variety of background colors, text quality, and paper sizes with excep­tional results. Plus, you can still adjust VRS for those particularly difficult
documents that no other scanner is able to tackle. To learn about
manually adjusting images with VRS, read on...

Once you install VRS, follow these steps to start VRS.
1 Turn on your scanner, then switch on your PC.
2 Launch your scan application.
3 Go to select a scan source. This will vary depending on your scan

application. From Scan Demo, for example, you would go to
Scanner | Select Scan Source. For other applications, the Source
may be referred to as “Scanner” or “Device.”

4 Select the appropriate scan source from the list provided.

Depending on your scanner and scan application, the choice of
sources created at the time of installation will vary.
Some options may be

 <Your Scanner Model> with VRS (ImageControls)
 Kofax VRS Scanner (ISIS)
 Kofax VRS - TWAIN (TWAIN)

5 Click OK. For ImageControls-based applications, the VRS icon

appears in the Windows taskbar. It will appear once you start to
scan if you are using an ISIS- or a TWAIN-based application.

...then scan!
