The contents of all safety data sheets in this manual are subject to the following
disclaimer. The safety data sheets have been compiled to the best of our knowledge and
belief as a short instruction regarding safe handling of ROWE Scan 850i devices. We
reserve the right to revise safety data sheets if new findings are on hand.

It is the customer's responsibility to check if this information is exhaustive, to deduce all
required safety precautions, and to make sure that the most recent version of the data
sheet is on hand by contacting ROWE in this respect.

Insofar as permitted by law, we do not accept any liability for completeness and
correctness of these safety data sheets.

2.2 Safety informations

The ROWE Scan 850i devices have been designed and manufactured according to the
state-of-the-art. However, health hazards and risks of property damage may occur during
use.

Operators shall use the ROWE systems in proper technical condition, according to the
intended use, being aware of safety and hazards, and observing this Operating Manual. In
particular failures impairing safety have to be eliminated immediately.

The ROWE systems of the Scan 850i series shall exclusively be used as described in this
Operating Manual. Another use or use exceeding the above shall not be deemed intended
use. The manufacturer is not liable for damages resulting therefrom. Solely the user
bears the risk for the above.

All persons dealing with erection, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of the
device shall be appropriately skilled and trained. In order to ensure their safety, it is
important to observe the Operating Manual thoroughly.

2.3 Prior to installation

Read the Operating Manual including the safety notes. Also ensure that all operators read
the Operating Manual. The documents as to the device shall be stored close to the device
where they can be found easily by any operator. Check the conditions at the intended
place of installation.

2.3.1 Conditions of room

Provide for the following conditions:

 There shall be sufficient space around the scanner so that it is easily accessible

from all sides.

 Sufficient ventilation of the system shall be ensured.
 We recommend to install the device in a place without any vibrations if possible

(e.g. not close to a large-sized punching machine).

 The relative humidity of air shall amount to 30 to 60 %.
 Slots and openings at the devices serve ventilation. They shall always be kept

free.

 The devices shall be kept dry.

2.3.2 Fuse protection

The ROWE scanner must be protected by fuses (10 A).

2.3.3 Assembly and commissioning

The device shall only be connected to a grounded socket with VDE homologation and
located close to the machine. Check in advance whether the mains voltage complies with
the nominal voltage indicated on the type plate. The type plate is located on the left side
plate of the scanner (open scanner top). Please also consider the following aspects:

 If the device is connected to an extension cord/a multiple socket, make sure that

the current draw of the devices connected to the extension cable/multiple socket
does not exceed the cable capacity. Make sure that not more than 10 A are
applied to the wall socket.

can only be removed by means of a tool, there are components which are live or
bear hazards otherwise. Only authorized skilled service staff shall be charged
with maintenance in these areas of the scanner.

 The housing is fitted with louvers at the bottom ensuring reliable operation. Do

not cover or close these louvers nor place any objects in front of them. In order
to prevent the above, the product must not be operated on soft furniture such as
beds, carpets, or other soft surfaces. Do not place the product close to or above
a heat source (radiator, etc.). It is allowed to place the product in closed furniture
or rooms only if sufficient ventilation is ensured.

 Do not push any objects through the louvers of the scanner. Live components

may be touched, components may be short-circuited, and a fire or an electrical
shock may occur. Prevent liquids from getting onto the scanner.

 Prior to any intervention in the electric or mechanical part of the device,

disconnect the power supply.

 Only use cleaning agents which are approved by the manufacturer for the

respective purpose.

 The printing, scanning, and folding systems shall only be modified by authorized

ROWE service staff.

ROWE. Use of wearing parts which are not approved by ROWE may damage the
devices. ROWE does not accept any liability if wearing parts are used which are
not approved by ROWE.

 Observe the safety notes on the wearing parts.
 Dispose of packaging etc. according to the applicable legal regulations.

 Plastic material must not be burnt.

2.3.5 Commitment of operators

The operators undertake to

 refrain from any working method impairing the safety and functionality of the

system.

afterwards, this selected area is scanned and output, only.

4. Batch scan: The so-called batch scan function can be switched ON and OFF. If the

batch scan is activated, the scan starts automatically as soon as an original is
positioned in the paper feed of the scanner. Pressing the Start key is thus not
required anymore. This option is very useful when you want to scan/copy many
documents with equal settings.

5. Save/print: Depending on the selected function, action key (5) is labeled "Save"

(Function Scan) or "Print" (Function Copy). In both cases, output is initiated by
pressing the key – either in a file or on a printer. You need this key when you
want to

 edit the image and/or settings after the scan (prescan, edit, output) and/or
 perform the output again, perhaps with different settings.

7.8 Toolbar of Main Viewer

Figure 7.9: Toolbar above Main Viewer

The toolbar above the Main Viewer includes the following buttons:

1. General view: Shows complete image in Viewer. This button is particularly useful

if you selected a section for being zoomed before and now want to return to the
general view.

2. Manual shift: The currently displayed detail can be shifted in all directions by

means of the mouse; however, a section needs to be zoomed in before. Manual
shift does not work if the Enhanced cutting function is active.

3. Arrow keys: The currently displayed detail can be shifted in the respective

direction if a section has been zoomed in before.

4. Zoom +/-: Zooming a detail shown in the Viewer in or out.

5. Expanding detail: By means of this button you define the behavior of the display

of a detail when you expand a detail by means of the mouse: If the button is
active (orange frame) at least the selected detail is always displayed in the
Viewer so that the area of the Viewer is filled best. If you want only the selected
area to be displayed, activate 5.

6. Cut detail: Similar to 4., but exactly the selected detail is displayed in the Viewer.

The detail is then enlarged in a way that either the entire width or the entire
height of the Viewer is used.

7. High Quality Modus (HQ) ON/OFF: You can select whether the image shall be

displayed in a higher quality in the Viewer. In particular, when processing
drawings with very fine structures, they are possibly not displayed completely in
the Viewer (in particular in the General View) as the image has to be scaled down
to "fit" into the Viewer. The HQ mode reduces this effect considerably but results
in the fact that it takes a little bit longer until the picture is fully displayed.

For originals without fine structures or photos you do not normally see any
difference between HQ and normal mode.

8. Load image: By means of this button you can load an image file saved on your

computer into the Viewer and edit it instead of scanning an original.

When loading an image file, the image displayed in the Viewer before gets lost
because it is not possible to open several files in the Viewer simultaneously.
However, you can save the image first (see 7.7).

9. Enhanced cutting function: By means of this function you can easily cut the

edges of an image and position cutting edges pixel by pixel. When you activate
the button, red lines appear on the four sides in Main Viewer which are first
located on the outside. Now, you can "grab" these lines by means of the mouse
and pull them into the image. When you start the output now, you are asked
whether you want to output the marked detail or the entire image.

The advantage of this function when compared to function Cut detail (5)
mainly is the fact that you can set four cutting edges while zooming any detail
in. This is how you can position edges precisely – in particular for large-sized

drawings.
This function can only be with the ROWE EDIT PROFESSIONAL APP.

10. Reset width detection: This function allows to deactivate automatic width

detection for the scan effected before. This function is particularly useful if the
scanned document is damaged resulting in a failure of the automatic width
detection. In this way, you can prevent contents from getting lost without having
to scan the document again and/or select another scan format. When pressing
this button the image is displayed in the same width as if you had selected the
option "Auto (Sensor)" under Scan format. E.g., you can then cut the image
manually using the Enhanced cutting function (8) if requested. Further
information on width detection and scan format can be found in Chapter 7.10.3.3
on Page 57.

11. Delete image: Here you can delete the currently displayed image from the

Viewer. The image is now being removed from the Viewer, i.e. it does not get lost
if it was already saved as file.

12. Undo and Repeat: By means of this tool you can undo the last activities. Actions

undone before can be repeated only!

A document CANNOT be loaded into the Viewer again with this tool! However,
any type of modification such as black correction can be undone and/or
repeated.

7.9 Toolbar Editing and Measuring Functions

Figure 7.10: Toolbar under Main Viewer

The toolbar under the Main Viewer provides functions for image editing and measuring of
distances or areas.

1. Vertical mirroring On / Off: Mirror entire image along vertical axis.

2. Invert On / Off: Invert entire image. For gray scales and B/W light and dark are

inverted; for RGB a negative is created.

3. Rotation: Set orientation of entire image in steps of 90°.
 Auto: The best rotation is determined automatically for output. For "Scan to

File" a rotation is not effected; the output on a printer is effected in a
space-saving way depending on the width of the original. In this case, the
rotation is not visible in the Viewer, i.e. the output orientation may be
different from that shown in the Viewer.

 0°, 90°, 180°, 270°: The image is rotated clockwise by a set value. The

rotation is visible immediately in the Viewer. Output is effected as

displayed. In case of output on a printer, an alternative rotation may
however occur if a medium with the appropriate width is not available.

 By means of the arrow keys (left, right) you can rotate the image in the

respective direction in steps of 90° starting from the current position.

4. Automatic correction of displacement: The image is aligned automatically so that

a slight displacement is corrected. In doing so, the orientation is defined
automatically on the basis of the document edges.

5. Manual correction of displacement: Manual alignment of image by setting two

reference points. The reference points are set by simple click of the left mouse
key onto the requested image position. In order to exactly reach the requested
positions, you can also use all zoom functions of the Viewer in this mode. After
having set the second reference point, the image is aligned on the basis of the
virtual connection between the two points. By actuating the button again, you
can undo the alignment.

You can perform an alignment on the basis of a horizontal as well as vertical
reference (detected automatically).

6. Measuring function: Measuring of a section (distance between two points to be

set). The reference points are positioned as described in 5. After having set the
second point, a dialog box opens where you can read the measured value. Here,
you can also select a unit and define a scale for conversion. E.g. this function is
useful when measuring structures in a construction drawing or map.

7. Calculate area: By means of this feature you can calculate the area of any

polygon within a drawing. After having pressed the button, you can define the
polygon by clicking on any number of points using the left mouse key.

The last point of the polygon is defined by a double click.

This function is available with ROWE EDIT PROFESSIONAL APP, only.

8. Edit image: This function provides numerous image editing options. After

actuating the button, the image and/or selected detail is loaded into an external
editor. First you are asked whether you want to embed or link the image. You
can simply press "OK" in this dialog box. With the editor you can now edit the
image using the available options. After having edited the image, you simply
close the editor. Now, you are asked whether you want to save the edited image.
Press "Save". Afterwards, the changes are applied automatically to the image in
Viewer.

When loading the image into the editor, tasks such as rotating, mirroring, and
inverting are not considered. However, the steps effected in the editor are
effected in the respective positions.

This function is available with ROWE EDIT PROFESSIONAL APP, only.

7.10 Settings

In the advanced settings you can select the following options if you selected a ROWE
printer:

1. Priority: Define behavior in printer job list.

 Normal: The job is added to the job list normally.
 Low: All print jobs with a higher priority are prioritized.
 High: The print job is started as soon as possible.

 Suspended: For the time being, the drawing is not printed but the job has

to be started manually on the printer.

2. Tolerance: Define the tolerance by which the dimensions of the document may

be exceeded (in %) for the document being printed on the next smaller roll
nonetheless.

In this case, the print is not reduced correspondingly but the protruding part is
cut off.

3. Label: Selection of the label defined on the printer and to be printed on the

document.

4. Banner: Here you can select the banner file and set whether this banner shall be

output at the beginning and/or end.

5. Stamps: Selection of a stamp defined on the printer and to be printed on the

6. Fallbacks: Here, you can define the printer's response if the required material

and/or format of the print medium is not available. Options are:

 Fit: Printer does not print and instead requires the respective roll format

giving a message.

 Larger: Printer uses the larger format available next (e.g. ISO A0 instead of

A1).

 Larger (roll empty: fit): If a fitting medium format is inserted but empty, the

printer does not print, but requires the respecting roll format. Otherwise
the printer prints to a larger format available next.

 Larger (medium defined: fit): If a fitting medium is defined but not inserted,

the printer does not print, but requires the respecting roll format.
Otherwise the printer prints to a larger format available next.

7.10.2.3 Output Settings for Inkjet Printer

In the advanced settings, you see the
following options if you selected an inkjet
printer:

1. Quality: Draft, normal, or high

7.10.2.4 Set Function

Figure 7.23: Set function

Figure 7.24: Query whether set shall

be printed immediately

As soon as you enable the set function (1), you are asked whether you want to print the
documents in the set immediately. If you press "Yes", the output is started immediately; if
you press "No", the output is started only after completion of the set (press (1) again).

Figure 7.25: Color mode

One of the most important settings is the color mode.

1. Selection of Color (RGB) and gray scale and/or black/white. The following scan is

effected in the mode set here.

If you effected a gray scale and/or black/white scan and switch to color later,
the image is, however, displayed in gray scale in the Viewer.

2. Set type of original: Here, you can easily achieve the best quality for many

different types of originals by selecting the condition of the scanned original.
Specially optimized settings are then selected to achieve the best possible result.

 Select "Line" if the original exclusively includes line structures and/or

homogenous areas (e.g. CAD drawings).

 Select "Photo“ if the original includes complex structures and color

gradients (e.g. photos, posters, etc.).

 Select "Mixed“ if the original includes line structures as well as color

7.10.3 Settings Independent of Function

In this section, those settings are described which are available in "Scan" as well as
"Copy" function. They mainly cover parameters such as color mode, brightness/contrast
as well as numerous other options for improving the quality of scans and copies.

7.10.3.1 Color Mode

gradients.

 More: Behind this button there are more special document types in addition

to "Line“, "Photo“, and "Mixed" (e.g. optimization for maps, etc.).

If you are not sure to which original type a document is to be allocated, you
can test which settings meet your requirements best as the display in the
Viewer is updated immediately with the selected mode. You do not have to
scan the document again.

If you scan a special original which does not match any of the available
settings, you can perform further individual modifications in the expert mode
(see 7.10.3.2 ).

7.10.3.2 Quality

Figure 7.26: Quality settings

Here, you can select settings affecting the quality of the scanned originals.

1. Resolution: Selection of the resolution to be used for the next scanning

operation. The selection has to be made before the scan.

In case of the available "Turbo modes", a lower scanning resolution is used in
feeding direction and afterwards interpolation is affected. A significantly
higher speed is achieved thereby. In the selected optical resolution, the
original is scanned perpendicular to the feed direction so that interpolation is
effected in feed direction, only.

2. Brightness: By setting the brightness, the reproduction becomes darker or

brighter. In the text box in the middle you can enter the requested value. By
means of the keys on the left and right, the value can be reduced / increased.
Setting range: -127...128 (0: neutral).

3. Expert mode: By pressing this button, you access a submenu with numerous

further setting options (see Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden

werden.).

Figure 7.27: Expert mode – Image settings

1. Image settings/Color settings: If you switch to "Color settings", you access

another submenu (see Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden
werden.).

2. Contrast: Increase / reduce contrast (setting range -127...128, 0: neutral).

3. Gamma: Adjust the gamma curve (setting range 1...25, 17: neutral). This setting

should not be changed because the default value (17) perfectly matches the
scanner's color space.

4. Background compensation: This slide control is extremely useful if the

background of a scanned original is not really white. The white of paper normally
does not correspond to exact white in the RGB representation (setting range

0...255, 0: neutral).

In particular for photos you should set the background compensation carefully
in order not to lose any information (e.g. in color gradients). But also in
drawings with lines, information which is very bright can get lost. In case of
doubt, simply check the result in the Viewer.

5. Sharpening: By means of this slide control you can increase the sharpness of the

image (setting range 0...255, 0: neutral).

If you select a very high value, slight color fringes may occur at edges in the
image.

6. Smoothing: By means of this slide control you can smooth angular structures in

the image (setting range 0...255, 0: neutral). In areas with fine structures,
information may be blurred.

7. Black correction: Similar to the brightening of the background on white you can

turn very dark areas into black if requested (setting range 0...255, 0: neutral).

8. Interpolation: If you want to use another resolution than that used for scanning,

you can set the requested output resolution, here. The image will then be
interpolated to this resolution.

Figure 7.28: Expert mode – Color settings

1. Image settings/Color settings: If you switch to "Image setting", you see the

submenu depicted in Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden
werden..

2. Red/ Green/Blue: By means of these three slide controls, you can shift the

weighting of the three color channels red, green, and blue (R, G, B). E.g., if you
want to reduce the red share in the image, reduce the setting of slide control
"Red" (setting range 0...255, 127: neutral).

3. Gray scale correction: If there are any gray scales in an image which cannot be

presented in a color neutral way (e.g. greenish cast), you can compensate this
deviation by means of this slide control. When setting a higher value, colors
which are almost gray are switched to the next shade of gray. If the value is very
high, also those colors are shifted to gray which are quite far away from a gray
scale. (setting range 0...255, 0: neutral).

4. Color depth: In color mode (RGB), the color information is usually coded with 8

bits per color channel (R, G, and B), i.e. 24 bits per pixel. This may result in
relatively large files. In particular for originals with only a few colors (e.g. CAD
drawings), it may be reasonable to reduce the color depth. This can be achieved
by selecting the option "Indexed color". The color depth is then reduced from 24
to 8 bits per pixel so that 256 colors can be displayed.

5. Highlighter optimization: When scanning originals which are marked with

permanent markers, it may occur that these marks are not shown properly. In
order to enhance the presentation, special optimizations can be enabled. Three
degrees of intensity can be selected (normal, medium, and high). In most cases,
the reproduction of markings with permanent markers should be ok without any
optimization.

When optimizing markings with permanent marker heavily, other colors of the
image may change slightly, too. You can check the result in the Viewer at any
time.

Should some permanent markers not be visible at all (white), reduce the value
for background compensation if applicable. Usually, the brightness of

permanent markers cannot be distinguished from the actual background
(white of paper).

6. ICC profiles: Select an ICC color space in which the file is to be saved. In general,

sRGB is appropriate. If you want to save a color scan in the device color space of
the scanner, select None.

7. Color table: By means of color replacement tables, defined colors can be

replaced by certain selected colors. This function may be useful to ensure that a
logo is shown in a clearly defined shade.

7.10.3.3 Scan Format

In the field "Scan format", you can determine the dimensions
of the following scan. If you actuate the button as shown in the
adjoining figure, a menu pops up where you can select the
following settings:

Auto: The format is established automatically using the width
detection feature. In most cases, this setting induces the
requested result.

Figure 7.29: Scan

format

Autoformat: The format is established automatically by means
of the width detection feature as in case of "Auto" but
afterwards it is extended to the standard format fitting next.
Moreover, the following options are available:

 Orientation Portrait/Landscape: Select whether the

default format is portrait or landscape.

 Fixed format On/Off: If the fixed format is activated

(On), the length in feeding direction is considered in
addition to the width when adjusting to the default
format. Otherwise, the width is adapted to the default
format, only.

The document has to be placed in the center.

If the fixed format is enabled, one part of the
information is cut off if the original is longer than the
fixed format to be adapted on the basis of the
detected width.

Figure 7.30:

Autoformat

Maximum width: In case of this setting, the maximum
document width is used. Usually, a margin will then still be
visible at the sides which can be cut off manually afterwards.
This option is recommended for damaged originals if the
automatic width detection is not working properly.

Figure 7.31: Auto

(Sensor)

User-defined: If you select "User-defined“, you can enter any
dimension for the scan range in the displayed text fields:

 Width: Scan width in mm
 Length: Scan length in mm
 Start at: Start position in feeding direction from

beginning of document in mm

 Zero point: The zero point is marked in the middle of

the feed table of the scanner. In the default setting,
the middle of the document has to be close to the
zero point. By means of this option, you can shift the
reference point for the middle of the document to the
left (negative value) or right (positive value).

Figure 7.32: User-

defined format

7.10.3.4 Scaling/Margins

In the area "Scaling/Margins" you can
add, cut off, extend, or reduce margins
on the four sides of a document.

Enter positive values in the four text
fields in order to enlarge the left (1),
right (2), front (3) and/or rear margin
(4) (white). If you want to cut the
margin off, simply enter negative
values.

By means of the "Zoom" button, you
access a submenu where you can
select extensive scaling options.

Figure 7.33: Scaling/margin

 Scale factor: Enlargement

and/or reduction factor in %
(100 %: no scaling). Setting
range 1.0 to 999.0 %.

 Page size: Auto (according to

set factor) or scaled to a
special default format (e.g. ISO
A4).

 Fixed format On/Off: If the

fixed format is activated (On),
the length in feeding direction
is considered in addition to the
width when scaling to the
default format selected under
"Page size".

If the fixed format is enabled,
one part of the information is cut
off if the original is longer than
the fixed format to be scaled to
on the basis of the detected
width.

 Orientation: Selection of

portrait or landscape (when

scaling to default format).

 Scale Mode: According to the

three options, the document is
positioned on the printout
and/or adjusted.

Original: Maintain original size.
Fit: If required, the document

is scaled down to the selected
format.
Assimilate (bigger or smaller):
Document completely utilizes
the selected format.

 Page position: Not available if

Assimilate (bigger or smaller)

was selected. Otherwise, the
position of the document on
the roll is defined. E.g.
"Center".

7.11 Favorites

ROWE SCAN/COPY/PRINT APP provides a vast range of settings to adjust scans and copies
according to individual requirements. Often a manageable number of settings and/or
combinations of settings are used over and over again. In order that you do not have to
set and adjust each option individually again, you can save settings once made as so­called Favorites. These settings can then simply be loaded again by a few clicks and are
always available. For this purpose, click the "Favorites" function. In each favorite you can
save all scan and print settings described in Chapter 7.10. The set function as well as the
file format Multipage TIFF/PDF present the only exception from the above.

Figure 7.1: Functions - Favorites

When clicking the "Favorites“ function, the depicted

menu pops up:

1. List of favorites: Here, all favorites already

saved are listed. In order to load and
activate the saved settings, simply click on
the entry in the list.

2. Save favorite: If you want to save the

current settings as favorite, press the
"Save“ button. Prior to this enter a name in
the text field. If a favorite with this name
already exists, you are asked whether to
overwrite the latter.

3. Edit favorites: Here, you can rename

favorites and/or allocate them to numeral
keys on the control panel of the scanner
(see Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte
nicht gefunden werden.).

4. Multiprint: This function is useful if you

want to issue copies on several output
devices. The Multiprint function is
described in a separate chapter (see
Chapter 7.11.1)

Figure 7.36: Favorites

If you press the "Edit favorites" button (see Fehler!
Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden
werden.), the depicted menu pops up:

1. Allocate favorite key: Here, you can

allocate a favorite to a numeral key on the
control panel of the scanner. For this
purpose, enter the number of the key (1-4)
into the text field (1). The favorite settings
are then loaded if you actuate the
corresponding key on the device.

2. Rename favorite: If you want to rename an

existing favorite, enter the new name in the
text field and confirm by pressing Enter.

3. Delete favorite: Actuate this button if you

want to delete the corresponding favorite.

4. Browse: The arrow keys serve to browse

the favorites list if it contains so many
entries that they do not fit the displayed
area.

Figure 7.37: Edit favorites

7.11.1 Multiprint Favorites

By means of the so-called Multiprint function you can output documents simultaneously
on any number of output devices – and namely with individual print settings for each

output device. For this purpose, you only have to create a Multiprint favorite once.
Afterwards, you can perform the following tasks with only one scan by loading an
individual favorite (or pressing the corresponding numeral key on the device) and by
actuating the start key:

 Printing a B/W copy on a ROWE printer,
 Printing a second color copy on an inkjet printer,
 Issuing three more copies on a ROWE printer scaled to ISO A3 including folding,
 Saving the scan as TIFF file in a folder with activated background compensation,

and

 Archiving the scan with standard settings as PDF file.

In order to understand the Multiprint concept, it is first required to logically distinguish
the parameters saved in the favorite by

 Scanning parameters (e.g. color mode, scan resolution, scan format, etc.)
 Output parameters (e.g. printer, scaling factor, background compensation, etc.)

Accordingly, a favorite as described in Chapter 7.11 includes a package of parameters
(parameter set) for the scan and exactly one parameter set for the output. The Multiprint
approach now extends this concept in a way that not only one parameter set for one
output device can be included in a favorite but that any number can be activated
simultaneously.

In order to create a Multiprint favorite, you have to add another output configuration
and/or another parameter set for an output to an existing favorite. This is effected almost
similar to the creation of a usual, new favorite and is explained in the following.

Figure 7.38: Concept favorite – Multiprint

In the list of favorites (1) (click function
Favorites), a Multiprint favorite is marked
with an (M).

In order to create a Multiprint favorite or to
extend a favorite by another output
configuration, make all requested settings in
the ROWE COPY/PRINT APP.

Afterwards, you have to add the respective
settings as additional output configuration to
an existing favorite. In this respect, it is
irrelevant whether this favorite already has
several output configurations (M) or not.
Press the Multiprint (2) button. Afterwards,
the dialog depicted in Figure 72 pops up.

Figure 7.39: Favorites selection -

Multiprint

In this dialog box, you can see how many
output configurations the favorite has and to
which output devices they refer (1) (for "Scan
to File" the target folder is indicated). In the
shown example, the favorite "New favorite" is
a Multiprint favorite with three output
options: Scan to File on drive C:\, copy/copies
on printer HP5500 as well as copy/copies on
printer RCS6000. Now, you have the following
options:

 Add new output configuration (2):

Another output configuration is
added. The new configuration
includes the parameters currently set
in the ROWE COPY/PRINT APP.

 Edit output configuration (3): Here,

you can subsequently change the
settings for the respective
configuration. When pressing the
button, you move automatically to
the ROWE COPY/PRINT APP settings
where you can make the desired
changes. At the top edge of the
Viewer an additional bar with the
buttons "Save" and "Cancel" is
depicted. Click "Save" after having
effected all changes.

 Delete output configuration (4): Click

here if you want to remove an output
configuration from the favorite.

Figure 7.40: Create / edit Multiprint

favorites

If you start an output with a Multiprint
favorite being activated, a dialog box pops up
after pressing the start key where you can
check/set on which output devices to output:

1. Activate/deactivate output on device:

Enable the field if you want to output
on the indicated device otherwise
remove the check mark by clicking.

2. Number of copies: For output on a

printer you can enter the number of
copies in this text box before starting
if more than one copy is needed.
Here, the name of the printer is also
shown. For Scan to File the target
folder appears.

3. Start: By pressing the Start button,

the operation is started.

printer selection.

6. Listing of files: In addition to the file name, further information is given:

 Dimensions in mm
 Number of pages (for TIFF/PDF files with several pages).

By pressing and holding the Shift and/or Strg key, you can also highlight
several files in the list – as in Windows explorer.

As soon as you highlight a file in the list by clicking, the corresponding settings
are shown under File presets (see 7.13.3).

Figure 7.46: File preview

The file preview provides the following options:

1. Set header position: By clicking one of the four quadrants top left, top

right, bottom left, or bottom right you can select where the header shall
be positioned. If you output the file on a ROWE printer and set a folding
program (if a folding machine is available), the file is rotated
automatically in a way that the header is at the top and visible after
folding. For documents with several pages, the header position can be set

for the first page, only.

2. Selection of page (available for TIFF/PDF files with several pages, only):

By means of the arrow keys, you can browse the pages of the document
in the preview. As an alternative you can also enter a page number in the
text field and press the Enter key to move to the desired page
immediately.

3. Position in file list: This is to show in which position of the file list the

depicted document is. If 1 / 3 is shown, this means that the displayed
document will be printed first as one of three files.

4. File information: Here, useful information on the depicted file is given:

Dimensions, color mode, file format, and resolution.

5. Browse file list: By means of the arrow keys left/right you can easily

switch to the next/previous file within the file list in the preview.

7.13.3 File Settings

Figure 7.47: ROWE PRINT APP - File settings

All settings made in the section File presets always apply to the file selected (highlighted)
in the file list. If you selected several files in the list, the settings made are adapted to all
highlighted files. In this way, you can easily define settings for larger sets which shall

apply to many but not to all files in the set.

1. Indication of file name: For your information, the name of the file to which the

settings apply is shown again. The shown name corresponds to the name of the
file highlighted in the file list. For lack of space, the name of the file highlighted
first is shown here only when several files are selected.

2. Color mode: Select the color mode for the output of the file. Similar to color mode

and original type selection for scan operations (see 7.10.3.1 ), special presets are
available for common original types. As for the most common types, the modes

“Line”, “Photo” and “Mixed” are sufficient. Behind the button “more...” several

additional presets are available. The presets are distinguished as follows:

a. Line: Optimized for scanned line drawings (raster formats as TIFF, JPEG).

Unwanted background is supressed as good as possible.

b. CAD: Optimized for files in vector formats (PDF, HPGL, etc.). The output is

as faithfully as possible. Colored elements will be brought out in grayscale.

c. CAD Doubledot: Same as CAD, but with the use of a different rasterization

method.

d. CAD Mono: Same as CAD, but in HPGL files colored lines are rastered in

black instead of grayscale. This mode is useful, whenever very thin lines
are printed too pale. Note: This mode is only different from CAD when using
HPGL files for input. Using other file formats the output will be identically.

e. CAD Mono Doubledot: Same as CAD Mono, but with the use of the different

rasterization method as with CAD Doubledot. Note: This mode is only
different from CAD when using HPGL files for input. Using other file formats
the output will be identically.

f. Mono: All elements which are not completely white are printed as black.

Only “real” white (brightness 255) is printed white.

g. Neutral: All parameters are set to neutral values. Particularly the output is

done without any sharpening etc., other settings are as in “Mixed” mode.

3. Copies: Number of copies to be prepared of the selected file (also see 7.10.2,

settings "Copy").

4. Medium/roll: Selection of medium or roll (also see 7.10.2, settings "Copy").

Moreover, the option "Cropping" allows cutting off any white margins
automatically.

5. Rotation/orientation: Here, you can select whether a drawing shall be rotated for

the output or whether it is a portrait or landscape.

6. Stamps/labels: Adding stamps or labels (also see 7.10.2, settings "Copy").

7. Scaling/margins: see 7.10.3.4 .

8. Folding: If output is affected on a ROWE printer with folding machine, a folding

program can be selected here. Moreover, you can define in which quadrant any
text field shall be located. If a folding program is activated, the drawing is rotated
automatically so that the text field is always at the top. With the option "Auto"
you can also determine the header position automatically. Moreover, you can
select where the printer and/or folding machine shall output the drawing. E.g. if a
sorter is connected, you can select the conveyor.

9. Quality: Draft, normal or high only available for output on inkjet printer (also see

7.10.2.3 ).

10. Cut On/Off: Set whether the paper is to be cut off after output of a document.

Only available for output on inkjet printer (also see 7.10.2.3 ).

11. Settings for all files take: Here, the current settings can be accepted for all files

in the file list by one click.

7.13.4 Job Settings

Figure 7.48: Job settings

All settings made in the section Job settings apply to all files within a set, i.e. to all files
available in the file list.

1. Printer: Selection of printer for output of set. With the option Page tolerance you

can determine the tolerance by which the dimensions of the documents may be
exceeded (in %) for the document being printed on the next smaller roll
nonetheless.

2. Copies: Here you define the number of copies of the complete set.

2a. Sorting: If you want to prepare more than one copy of the set, you can
additionally define how to sort the output by means of button (2a). In the
default setting, output is affected in the same order as if you printed the
set several times individually one after another. You can modify sorting so
that first all copies of the 1st file, then all copies of the 2nd file etc. are
output.

3. Jobname / PIN / Account

 Jobname: Here you can define a user defined jobname which helps the

identification of the print job in the job list.

 PIN: Here you can define a PIN / password for protecting the printjob against

other users. If set, the printjob is set to „stopped“ and will not be printed until

you start it from the job list which is only possible by re-entering the correct
PIN (also known as „follow me printing“ or „secure printing“).

 Account: If you have purchased the COST CENTER APP you can select the

account / cost center

4. Banner: Here you can select whether and/or which banner to be printed in which

position.

5. Miscellaneous:

5a. Fallback: See Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden
werden..

5b. Priority: Define behavior of job in printer job list.

 Normal: The job is added to the job list normally.
 Low: All print jobs with a higher priority are prioritized.
 High: The print job is started as soon as possible.
 Suspended: For the time being, the drawing is not printed but the

job has to be started manually on the printer

5c. Info texts: With info texts you can include user defined text
information into a print job. Those texts can be integrated dynamically
into stamps for example.

Figure 7.49: Fallback

By means of the fallback option you can define the action if a resource required for the
print job is not available.

1. Material: Response to missing material (e.g. transparent medium).
 Fit: Printer does not print and requires the respective material giving a

message.

 Ignore: Printer uses the material available (e.g. paper instead of

transparent)

2. Format: Response of printer to missing roll format
 Fit: Printer does not print and requires the respective roll format giving a

message.

 Larger: Printer uses the larger format available next (e.g. ISO A0 instead of

A1).

 Larger (roll empty: fit): If a fitting medium format is inserted but empty, the

printer does not print, but requires the respecting roll format. Otherwise
the printer prints to a larger format available next.

 Larger (medium defined: fit): If a fitting medium is defined but not inserted,

the printer does not print, but requires the respecting roll format.
Otherwise the printer prints to a larger format available next.

3. Folding machine: Response to missing folding machine
 Default: Use standard response of respective printer where the folding

machine is and/or should be located.

 Ignore: The printer prints without folding.

4. Tab: Response to missing tab if a folding program with tab is selected.
 Fit: The printer does not print the job and instead requires a (new) tab roll

giving a message.

 Ignore: The folding program is effected without applying a tab.

5. Output bin/runout: Response to full output tray of sorter and/or output bin of

printer (top or back).

 Default: Use standard response of respective printer where the sorter is

and/or should be located.

 Fit: Printer does not print the job and requires discharging of the output bin

instead by giving a message.

 Ignore: Printer prints the job on the next free output bin.

Figure 7.50: Info texts

Info texts: Here, you can enter additional information on a print job. This information
helps to identify the job in the job list.

The info texts are provided for future extensions and do not yet have any
function (also see Chapter 8.9).

7.13.5 General PRINT APP Settings

Figure 7.51: General settings

The general settings of the ROWE PRINT APP offer the following options:

 WEB CONNECT APP Printer cockpit always on top: If you start the printer cockpit

from the WEB CONNECT APP, you can specify here, if it should be always in
foreground or not.

 Joblist Logout after x minutes: If you are logged in at the printjob list (user

“joblistadmin” or “administrator”), you can set a timeout for automatic logging off

(0: no auto logoff).

 Show all favorites temporarily: If you need to change or check the settings of a

special favorite (e.g. a listener), activate this option in order to be able to select
the favorite in the favorites selection. Activating this option will take effect until
the next restart.

 Clear filelist after printing: Here you can define if the filelist should be

automatically be cleared after creating a printjob.

 Print Jobs column username / foldprogram: These 2 options allow to customize the

columns of the printjob list. For example, if you select “hostname” for “username”,
the column “username” in the joblist will be replaced and the hostname will be

shown.

7.14 Configuration of ROWE SCAN/COPY APP

By pressing the button shown on the right which can be found on the left of
the action keys in the lower section of the ROWE SCAN/COPY APP you can
make several basic settings.

Access to the settings may be protected by a password. This
protection can be enabled in the parameter settings of
ConfigManager (see 6.8). You are then asked for the administrator
password. The password is equal to the administrator password set
in ConfigManager (see Chapter 8.11).

Figure 7.52: Global settings

The following settings can be made:

 Language: Select the desired language of the texts in ROWE SCAN/COPY APP.
 Speed: Select automatic and reduced feed speed (to protect sensitive originals).

The height of the reduced speed can be set in the ConfigManager (see Chapter

8.10).

 Backlight: Enhanced presentation of extremely dark originals.
 Prescan mode: Determine behavior when pressing the Prescan button:

 Normal prescan: Prescan is effected with the selected settings. The preview

then corresponds to the result obtained when pressing the Start button.

 Fast prescan: A fast prescan with reduced resolution is effected. Using the

mouse, you can afterwards highlight an area which you want to scan with
the selected settings. In general, this option is reasonable only if you want
to scan a special area of the original.

 Runout: Select where and how the scanner shall output the original after the

scan: Back, Back hold, Front, Front hold, Hold

 High Performance Mode: When enabling this mode, in the Scan to File mode,

creation of the output file is already started before completion of the scan
process by starting a scan with the green button Start (or in the Batchscan
mode) so that throughput is increased thereby.

Direct writing of the output file during scanning is possible under certain
conditions only and depends upon the selected settings. If, for example,
rotation is enabled (see 7.9), output can be started after completion of the
scan, only. If the settings are selected in a way that direct output is not
possible, output is started automatically only after completion of scan. Direct
output is possible only if the following requirements are met:

 Either JPEG or TIFF are selected as file format.
 The resolution is not 2400TURBO.
 Mirroring, rotating, inverting, and automatic alignment must be

deactivated.

 All margins are set to 0.
 Scaling (zoom) is 100 %, i.e. no scaling is effected (not to a

format either).

 No Multiprint output is effected.

 Load favorite "Standard" automatically after n minutes: Period in minutes after

which the favorite "Standard" shall be loaded automatically. The previous
settings get lost if they were not saved in a favorite (0: automatic loading
deactivated).

 Settings color depth b/w: Here, you can influence the color depth for output in

b/w mode which is hidden behind the color mode buttons (so-called Presets) in
b/w and/or gray scale mode. You can set the behavior for each b/w mode (line,
photo, mixed, and more) separated by Scan to File/Copy. By means of buttons 1.
and 2. you select to which mode the setting selected in 3. refers. You can select
the following settings:

 Black/white (1 bit)
 Dithered (1 bit)
 Gray scale (8 bits)

E.g. if you want to save the files as gray scale with 8 bits per pixel for Scan to
File, select Scan to File under 1., then Photo under 2. and finally Gray scale (8
bits) under 3.

Changed settings for a preset are enabled only after the modified preset is
loaded again.

 Content Infobox: Determine which files shall be displayed in the info box.

7.15 ROWE SCAN/COPY APP TOUCH

ROWE Scan 850i scanners can be operated with a desktop computer with mouse and
keyboard or with a touch screen. For touch screen operation, the specially optimized
version of ROWE SCAN/COPY APP is available while the regular version is not intended for
touch screen operation (i.e. without mouse and keyboard).

Appearance and varies only slightly. The decisive difference is that the buttons of the
user interface are much bigger to be able to actuate them better using the finger. As the

bigger buttons require much more space, the General Viewer is not provided (see

Every time a number needs to be entered, a
virtual numeric keypad is shown
automatically.

Chapter 7.6). Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden werden. shows the
layout.

Figure 7.53: ROWE SCAN/COPY APP TOUCH

As a conventional keyboard is usually not available when using a touch screen, a virtual
keyboard is shown when an entry is required. By means of the buttons you can enter the
desired text and/or figures by finger.

If you touch a text field with the finger
where a text needs to be entered (e.g. a file
name), a virtual keyboard is shown
automatically.

Figure 8.2: ConfigManager - Overview

The ConfigManager layout is similar to that of ROWE SCAN/COPY APP. Similar to them the
provided configuration options in the ConfigManager are divided into different functions
by topics:

 Status: Different status information on the scanner is displayed (see 8.3).
 Calibration: Here, you can calibrate the scanner again (see 8.4).
 Printer: Management of printers which can be used in ROWE COPY/PRINT APP

(see 8.5).

 Licenses: Display of existing license options, loading of license upgrades (see

8.6).

 Update: Here you can check whether a new version of the ROWE Scan 850i

8.2 Main View of ROWE ConfigManager

software is available (see 6.7).

 Parameter: Administration of general parameters (see 8.10).
 Login: Authentication/access protection for advanced settings (see 8.11).
 Favorites: Here you can set additional options for the behavior of the favorites in

ROWE SCAN/COPY/PRINT APP (see 8.12).

 Email: Settings for email notification (only available with copy system ROWE

ecoPrint, see ROWE ecoPrint manual for details).

 Stamp programs: Configuration and editing of stamps (only available with ROWE

EDIT PROFESSIONAL APP, see 8.6)

 Listener: Confguration and editing of listeners directories for print jobs (only

available with copy system ROWE ecoPrint, see ROWE ecoPrint manual for
details).

 Scanboxes: Configuration for scanboxes (only available with copy system ROWE

ecoPrint, see 8.7).

In some sections of ConfigManager you are guided through the setup of the
selected options by wizards. At the bottom edge of ConfigManager the two
buttons "Next" and "Back" are displayed then. In order to reach the next step,
simply actuate "Next". By means of "Back" you can return to the previous step
to correct your selection if applicable.

8.3 Status of Scanner

The following information is given under
Status:

 Status of connection between

scanner and PC

 Whether an original was placed and if

yes its approximate width

 Whether calibration is required
 Whether maintenance by the ROWE

Service is required

Under Protocol you can see the scanner's
intensity of utilization. There you can see the
number of scans already effected, the overall
scan length, as well as the operating hours of
the scanner.

Under Version you can see detailed
information on the software version as well as
firmware of the scanner. Usually, only the
entry "Software Release" (here 1.3.0) is
important.

Figure 8.3: ConfigManager - Status

Under Calibration you can calibrate the
scanner again. A new calibration is always
recommended if the scan quality seems to
have deteriorated. Moreover, calibration is to
be effected at regular intervals – depending on
the degree of utilization.

In order to perform a calibration you simply
have to follow the instructions given on the
screen. In this respect, also refer to Chapter

2.11).

Figure 8.5: Selection of printer actions

In order to set up your printer, ConfigManager provides numerous options:

 Add printer (see 8.5.1)
 Delete printer (see 8.5.2)
 Profile printer: Create a color profile for an inkjet printer to optimize the color

reproduction quality (see 8.5.3)

 Configure printer: Depending on the printer model, numerous other settings are

available (see 8.5.4).

If you are not logged in as administrator, you are requested to do so as soon
as you press one of the buttons (see 8.11).

If you want to add a printer, press the button
"Add printer" (Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte
nicht gefunden werden.).

Afterwards, you are prompted to enter the
printer manufacturer. For this purpose, select
the appropriate manufacturer from the list and
click "Next".

The available manufacturers are
dependent upon the installed license
options. Should the required
manufacturer name not be provided,
you may need a license upgrade. (see
Chapter 4.10).

Figure 8.6: Selection of printer

manufacturers

8.5.1 Adding Printer

In the next step you are prompted to select the
printer model from the list. Here too, the
available selection is dependent upon the
existing license options.

Press "Next" afterwards.

Figure 8.7: Selection of printer

model

After having selected the printer model, you
have to indicate how to access your printer in
the network. For this purpose, enter the IP
address of the printer or its host name in the
text field.

Should you have problems regarding
the availability of the printer in the
network, check the network settings of
your computer and the printer.

Figure 8.8: Printer IP / host name

Enter any designation for the printer to be set
up in the following text field. The APP then
identifies the printer on the basis of this name
(see printer selection, Chapter 7.10.2.1 ).

The printer name is also saved under
the favorites. Should a printer be saved
in a favorite which is NOT available

If the printer just added is a color printer, you
are asked whether you want to perform a color
calibration. If yes, click "Start profiling". For the
further steps, please refer to Chapter 8.5.3 as
from Figure 6.13.

If you do not want to affect color profiling, click
"Skip" whereby the printer installation is
completed. You can also perform the color
calibration of the printer later.

If the added printer is not a color printer, the
installation has now been completed
successfully.

8.5.2 Deleting Printer

If you want to remove a printer already

installed, select „Delete printer“ under

"Printer". Afterwards, you are prompted to
select the printer to be deleted. The list
shows all printers already installed. After
having selected the printer to be deleted,
click "Next" and confirm the safety query.

Figure 8.11: Printer selection

The factors printer model and medium have a great influence. In the following
steps of creation of a color profile therefore make sure that the appropriate
medium is actually available in the printer.

In order to optimize the color reproduction for a color
printer you can also have a so-called ICC profile be
calculated automatically. For this purpose, select the
option "Profile printer" under "Printer". Afterwards, you
are prompted to select the printer to be profiled. The
list shows all printers already installed.

Figure 8.12: Printer selection

In the following dialog select the medium for which you
want to create a profile. As some color printers have
several rolls, you further have to indicate on which roll
the medium can be found.

Make sure that the appropriate medium is
actually available on the selected roll.

Afterwards, enter roll width as well as desired quality
level for the target to be printed. Then press "Print
chart“.

If your printer has several rolls which are
provided with different media and if you want
to create a profile for further media, you can
click "Back" afterwards and print the target

paper grade

8.5.3 Creating a Printer Profile

The color reproduction quality on color printers can be optimized by so-called ICC color
profiles. This optimization is necessary because each printer shows colors differently.
Even if directly comparing two identical printer models, different results may be
produced. All in all, the color reproduction is dependent upon a number of factors, mainly:

1. Printer model but also the device itself,

2. Medium to be printed on (e.g. normal paper, high-gloss photo paper),

3. Age and condition of ink.

In order to achieve a reproducible reproduction of color, ROWE ConfigManager offers the
"Closed loop calibration" option. This means that the printer prints a specific color pattern
(a so-called target) about which the precise color values are known. Afterwards, this
target is scanned with the printer and the actual color values of the individual color fields
are established. An ICC profile is then calculated on the basis of the measured data and
the reference data which compensates "color errors" as well as possible.

already on the next medium. When creating a
profile later, you can then skip this step.

In the next step, the printed target needs to be
scanned.

Allow the target to dry for about one hour, as
the colors may still change during this period.

After the drying time, place the target in the scanner
and click "Next". The target is scanned and the ICC
profile is calculated automatically. This process may
take a few minutes.

If you want to optimize the reproduction of the gray
scale of the printer additionally, you can perform a so­called gray balance optimization. For this purpose,
another target which has been optimized for the gray
scale reproduction is printed and scanned. Simply
follow the instructions on the screen.

Normally, gray balance optimization is not
required. On request you can skip this step.

Afterwards you can complete the process by pressing
"Finish".

8.5.4 Configuring Printer

If you want to configure the settings of a printer
already installed, select the option "Configure
printer" under "Printer". Afterwards, you are
prompted to select the printer to be configured.
The list shows all printers already installed.
Afterwards press "Next".

Figure 8.15: Printer selection

Figure 8.16: Roll configuration

Now you access the configuration area of the printer. There you can

 Change IP address and/or host name of the printer,
 See whether a color profile is already available for a medium (only for color

printers),

 Create a (new) color profile for a medium (see 8.5.3) (only for color printers),
 Change the medium type and the width of a roll (only for color printers),
 Call extended settings (see Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden

werden.).

Figure 8.17: Extended printer settings

In the extended settings you can make some complex settings affecting the behavior of
the printer quite individually. The most important settings refer to the printable area of
inkjet printers and margins. You should not make any modifications in this section unless
problems occurred in this connection. The most important parameters are:

 Min. linewidth PS/PDF (Px): Specifies the minimum line width in pixels used for

rasterization of PS/PDF input files. The setting is only supplied for PS or PDF files in
vector format.

 Crop HPGL: Only the really visible area is presented in the output, instead of using

the area specified by the “PageSize” parameter in the HPGL input file.

The effect of changed settings may vary depending on the printer model.

Different parameters are available depending on the printer model.

Some options can possibly not be edited.

8.6 Stamp programs

Figure 8.18: Stamp configuration

With stamps you can integrate user defined graphics and/or texts in your printouts or
scanned files. Those elements are placed onto the sheets as classical stamps. The
ConfigManager provides comprehensive possibilities to create and edit stamps:

 Add stamps
 Delete stamps
 Configure stamps.

If you are not already logged in as administrator user, you are requested to do
so, as soon as you press one of the buttons (see 8.11).

In order to add, delete and configure stamps you need the ROWE PRINT
SPECIALS APP.

If you desire to create a new stamp, press “Add Stamp”.

The first step is to define the width and height of the
new stamp. After settings the dimensions click “Next”.

Figure 8.19: Stamp size

8.6.1 Add Stamps

In the next step specify the parameters of the stamp:

 Stamp name: Identifier of the stamp, can be an

arbitrary name without special characters.

 Alignment hor./vert.: Specifies the position of

the stamp on the sheet. Can be in relation to
header or centered, top/bottom (resp.
left/right).

 Offset hor./vert.: An optional offset in relation to

the selected alignment.

 Rotation: The rotation of the stamp in 90° steps

or “Auto”.

 Extend image: If this option is selected and the

stamp (or a part of it) would be out of the sheet,
then the dimension of the sheet will be
extended respectively. Otherwise the stamp will
be cut off eventually.

 Pos. relative to output orientation: If this option

is selected, the stamp will be put onto the sheet
not until the sheet is rotated if applicable.
Otherwise the stamp will be applied before
rotation.

After specifying the desired settings press “Apply”. In

the next step an external tool (“inkscape”) will be

started in order to create the actual stamp drawing.

Figure 8.20: Stamp

parameter

Now create the the drawing. With the help of the editor
you can draw any user defined graphics and texts. All
objects can be applied with special effects like
transparencies for example.

You can use special placeholder texts in order to print
dynamically generated text contents onto your sheets.
Therefore insert text in the following format:
${placeholder_name}. Some of the most interesting
placeholders are:

DATE, TIME, USERNAME, PRINTER, JOBID, JOBNAME.

After creating the drawing, just close the editor. You will
be asked, if you want to save the drawing. Apply the
question by clicking “Save”.

In the following screen you can change all parameters
of the stamp described in 8.6.1.

8.6.3 Configure Stamp

8.7 Scanboxes

"Scanboxes" are directories which can be used to file scans and to access them via the
network. In general, there a two types of scan boxes:

 Local scan boxes: The scan directory is located on the device and can be

accessed via the network by way of a Windows access permission.

 Remote scan boxes: The scan directory is located on a host in a network which

can be accessed by the printer by way of a Windows access permission.

Figure 8.25: Scanboxes

In order to configure scan boxes, press the button "Scanboxes (Scan-to-File)" in the
settings menu. The wizard depicted in Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden
werden. is displayed. Just follow the instructions and questions on the screen to add,
delete, or change scan boxes.

Figure 8.26: Creating a local scanbox

The parameters shown in Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden werden.
are available for setting a local scan box:

 Scanbox Name: A freely selectable name (without special characters).

Afterwards, the scan box is accessible under this name as Windows access
permission, e.g. \\192.168.1.2\MyLocalScanbox.

 Username/Password (optional): Access protection for the scan box when

collecting the scans via the Windows access permission.

 Public access: Defines whether any user is allowed to use the scan box as scan

target directory in the ROWE SCAN APP or whether access is protected by a user
name/password.

Figure 8.27: Creating a remote scanbox

When creating a remote scanbox you are requested to select a protocol as a first step.

The choice is SMB, FTP and Webdav. Press „Next“ to continue to the scanbox settings

shown in Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden werden.. The following
parameters are available:

 Scanbox Name: A freely selectable name (without special characters).

Afterwards, the scan box can be identified by this name in the scan box
configuration and the ROWE SCAN APP .

 Username/Password: Here, you have to enter the access data to access the

shared directory in the network (Attention: Write protection required!).

 Domain: If the computer on which the shared directory can be found is a member

of a domain, enter this domain here.

 Server Host/IP: The IP address (or host name) of the computer where the shared

directory can be found.

 Share: The name of the shared directory
 Subdirectory: If the directory to be monitored is located in a directory under the

shared directory, enter the path here (in case of several subdirectories separated
by "/").

 Public access: Defines whether any user is allowed to use the scan box as scan

target directory in the ROWE SCAN APP or whether access is protected by a user
name/password.

8.8 Licenses

Figure 8.28: License options during and after trial phase

If you purchased a new scanner, it is provided with a license which allows you to use all
options for trial purposes first. This trial license either expires after 30 days or after 2000
scans – depending on which limit is reached first. The free features of the trial license can
be seen under Licenses. There, you also see how long the trial phase will run.

After expiry of the trial phase only those options are left that you bought when
purchasing the device and installed during installation of the software (see 4.10). These
options can also be seen in the display.

By means of the button "Open license file..." you can install a (new) license file if you
purchased a license upgrade subsequently and obtained a new license file.

If you want to purchase a license upgrade, click "Order license“. ConfigManager then
automatically opens the ROWE website using your Internet browser where you can order
the requested upgrades. But you can also contact the ROWE Support (e.g. if you do not
have an Internet connection on your computer). For the contact details please see Page

9.

You can call the function Update only after logging in as an administrator (see

8.11).

8.9 Update

As ROWE intends to continuously enhance its software products, they undergo permanent
further development. This is why new versions are made available occasionally including
an extended scope of functionality and/or error corrections.

Accordingly, it may be worthwhile to check under "Update" once in a while whether a
more recent version of ROWE Scan 850i software is available. As in case of the license
upgrade order, ConfigManager opens the ROWE website automatically using your Internet
browser where you can see whether an update is available. Should this be the case, you
can directly download the new version from there. The installation can be effected similar
to the initial installation (see Chapter 4.2).

8.10 Parameters

Under Parameter you can make some basic settings for scanner and software.

You can call the function Update only after logging in as an administrator (see

8.11).

Figure 8.29: ConfigManager - Parameters

The following parameters are available:

 Password protect ScanManager settings: You can protect the ROWE SCAN/COPY

APP settings with a password (see 7.13.5) to prevent unauthorized persons from
changing them.

 Force USB-2.0: Activate the USB 2.0 mode of the scanner.
 Correction scale factor (length): If you want to scan special originals which are

particularly light or heavy and find out that the scale in feed direction is not
exact, you can define a correction factor here. But normally you should not make
any modifications. Enter a value of more than 1.0 if the scanned documents are
too short.

 Language: Here you can change the system language.
 Reduced speed: If you scan very sensitive originals presenting a risk of being

damaged when transported through the scanner, you can transport them at a
reduced speed. Here you can select the target speed. (see 7.13.5).

 Correction scale factor (length): If this parameter is activated, you can set a

correction in y direction between 0,980 and 1.020 per mill in ROWE SCAN/COPY
APP under "Expert mode". In case of existing favorites, this parameter is to be
checked for correctness and to be saved, once.

 Margin back/front/left/right: Here you can define additional (global) settings for

the scan margins. For negative values, the corresponding margin is cut off; for
positive values, it is added.

 Tolerance for mapping autoformats: Here you can define by how many per mills

the width of a scan format recognized by the width detection may be exceeded
for being allocated to the next smaller format nonetheless.

 Delay infeed: Here you can define how long the scanner waits after positioning

the document until it takes the document in.

 Standby waiting time: Waiting time until the scanner enables the energy saving

mode (0: Energy saving mode deactivated).

In energy saving mode, the scanner is not recognized by the computer (as if
switched OFF). The operating LED is flashing. By pressing the start key on the
control panel, you can "wake the scanner up".

 Delete processed printjobs after said time: Define how long finished printjobs are

hold, before they are deleted.

 Secure delete iterations: If your printjobs contain confidential data and you

desire to be sure that all files are really wiped from disk after printing, you can
define the number of overwriting cycles.

 Active format systems: Here you can select which format systems are available

in ROWE SCAN/COPY APP when selecting the format.

 Stop jobs with resource error after x seconds: If a printjob cannot be performed

immediately because of missing resources (e.g. a medium roll with a certain
width), the queue will be blocked by default until, in order to prevent the
distortion of the order. If you do not want this behavior, you can define a timeout,
after which those jobs are suspended, such that printing continues with the next
job.

 Units of measurement: Determine which units shall be used.

Some functions in ConfigManager can be
used with special access rights, only. For
this purpose, an administrator account has
been created. Click on the function Login
for authentication. The factory-set access
data is:

 Username: administrator
 Password: admin
