Installing

Installation is a quick, three-step process:

■ Install the PaperPort software and scanner driver

■ Connect the power supply and USB cable

■ Calibrate the scanner

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Please make sure of the following before you begin installation:

■ If your computer has AntiVirus or AntiSpyware software running,

you may see messages during installation asking you to allow the installation to proceed. Although the messages will differ based on the software your computer is running, in each case you should allow the installation to proceed. Alternatively, you can turn off the AntiVirus or AntiSpyware software before installing your scanner, but if you do, make sure to turn it back on again when installation is finished.

■ If you already have a scanner connected to your computer, it is

recommended that you remove that scanner’s driver program prior to installing your Visioneer Strobe XP 220 scanner. While in some cases you can configure your computer to have another manufacturer’s scanner operational on your computer in conjunction with the Visioneer scanner, we do not recommend this configuration as you may lose some of the driver functionality on one, or both of the units. You can remove these programs from the Windows Add/Remove Programs list. Please refer to the user manual provided with your other scanner for instructions about removing the driver and software for that unit.

■ The information in this guide may cover software not provided

with the scanner you purchased. Please disregard any information about the software not applicable to your scanner.

STEP 1: INSTALL THE SOFTWARE 5

STEP 1: INSTALL THE SOFTWARE

Note: You must install the software before connecting the scanner to your computer. Otherwise, the correct driver software for your scanner will not be installed and it may not work properly.

Plugs into the port on the back of the scanner.

1. Using the on-screen window as your guide, plug the power supply

cable into the power jack on the USB Y-cable. Then plug the power supply into an electrical outlet.

2. Plug the scanner connector on the Y-cable into the connection port

on the back of the scanner. Please be sure the arrows on the scanner connector line up with the

arrows on the back of the scanner to avoid pins getting bent while inserting the connection.

3. Plug the USB connector on the Y-cable into a USB port on your

computer. Connection to a USB 2.0 High Speed port provides optimum performance, but you can also connect to a USB 1.1 port.

USB

STEP 2: CONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY AND USB CABLE 15

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

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

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 nonHI-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.

4. Your computer recognizes that a scanner has been plugged into the

USB port and loads the appropriate software to run the scanner.

5. The window for calibrating the scanner will open. Proceed to

“Step 3: Calibrate the Scanner” on page 16.

16 VISIONEER STROBE XP 220 SCANNER USER’S GUIDE

STEP 3: CALIBRATE THE SCANNER

1. After the computer loads the appropriate software to run the

scanner, the Found New Hardware Wizard window opens.

2. You will need the calibration page that you received with your

scanner for the calibration process. The calibration page is in a plastic storage bag. Remove the calibration page from its plastic storage bag.

3. Before you start the calibration, please move the scanner’s Paper

Return into the Up position so the calibration page will feed straight through the scanner.

STEP 3: CALIBRATE THE SCANNER 17

5. The Calibration window opens.

6. Insert the calibration page into the page feed in the direction of the

arrows on the page.

The scanner grabs the page and feeds it through the scanner. The scanner will pass the page back and forth several times.

Do not remove the page until calibration is finished.

7. When calibration is complete, the calibration page will back out of

the scanner.

18 VISIONEER STROBE XP 220 SCANNER USER’S GUIDE

Note: If the page does not back out of the scanner, the calibration may not have finished properly. Remove the page and complete the installation of your scanner, then see the section, “Recalibrating and Cleaning Your Scanner” on page 110 to run the calibration again.

8. Remove the page and replace it in its plastic bag.

Do not discard the calibration page. You may need it periodically to calibrate the scanner to keep it operating at peak performance.

9. Click Next on the Calibration window.

10. Click Finish on the Completing the Found New Hardware Wizard

window.

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.

Scanning

You have several different scanning options with your Visioneer Strobe XP 220 scanner. Each method scans equally well, so use the one appropriate for the item you are scanning.

■ OneTouch—Your scanner uses Visioneer’s AutoLaunch technology

that senses when a document is inserted into the page feed and starts the scanning. You simply insert a document into the scanner and it is automatically scanned using predefined settings from the OneTouch software. To change the scanner’s settings you open the OneTouch panel on the computer screen before scanning and make the changes. Then insert the document into the scanner and it will be scanned with the new settings. See “Scan Using OneTouch” on page 29.

■ TWAIN Interface—Use this option to scan from the PaperPort

application you received with your scanner. Many other programs also use the TWAIN interface, so you can scan from them too. See “Scanning from the TWAIN Interface” on page 88.

■ WIA Interface—This option is the Microsoft Windows Image

Acquisition (WIA) interface. You can access the WIA interface from the PaperPort software, or from other applications on your computer. See “Scanning from the WIA Interface” on page 105. The WIA interface is only available if your computer is running Windows XP.
