9. Before proceeding to “Step 3: Check Out Your Scanner”, you can
install additional software from the installation CD, or view and
print the scanner and PaperPort documentation.
Remove the CD from the computer when you are finished and
store it in a safe place.
STEP 3: CHECK OUT YOUR SCANNER
After installing the scanner and software, you will see a scanner icon on
the Windows taskbar (at the bottom right corner of the computer
screen). If the scanner is properly connected, the scanner icon looks like
the one pictured below.
Scanner Icon
If the icon has a red X through it, the scanner is not properly connected.
See the section, “If the Scanner Is Not Properly Connected” on page 13
for the steps to fix the problem.
STEP 3: CHECK OUT YOUR SCANNER 13
To check the status of the scanner:
1. On the Windows taskbar, right-click the scanner icon.
The shortcut menu appears.
2. Select About from the shortcut menu.
A dialog box confirms the scanner is properly connected.
3. Click OK to close the dialog box. Your scanner is ready to scan.
IF THE SCANNER IS NOT PROPERLY CONNECTED
If the scanner icon on the Windows taskbar has a red “X” through it,
the scanner is not properly connected.
Check for one of these possible problems:
• Is a cable loose or not plugged in securely? Inspect all cable
connections. Make sure all the cables are plugged in securely.
• Is the scanner’s power light on? If the light does not come on, plug
the power adapter into another electrical outlet.
14 VISIONEER ONETOUCH 9120 USB SCANNER INSTALLATION GUIDE
• Is the scanner’s locking tab in the locked position? Slide the
locking tab to the unlocked position. If you tried to scan with the
scanner locked, you must restart your computer after unlocking the
scanner.
• 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.
Please see the Readme file in the PaperPort directory on your
computer’s hard drive. The Readme file contains additional
information that may help you diagnose problems connecting the
scanner. Also see “Troubleshooting” on page 59 for more information.
Note: The scanning lamp under the scanner’s glass needs to warm up
before you can scan. A status message lets you know when the lamp is
ready. The lamp then remains ready so you don’t have to wait each
time you want to scan. To conserve electricity and prolong the life of
the scanner, you can set the length of time for the lamp to remain lit
before powering down. See “Setting Preferences” on page 41.
To connect the scanner:
1. After checking for all the above problems, right-click the scanner
icon with the red X over it.
The shortcut menu appears.
2. Choose Connect from the shortcut menu.
The software finds the scanner and makes the connection. The
scanner icon will no longer have a red X through it, and you’re
ready to begin scanning.
STEP 3: CHECK OUT YOUR SCANNER 15
If you try all the troubleshooting procedures described above and in the
Readme file, and the scanner icon still has a red X through it, you may
have a malfunctioning scanner. Please see “Visioneer 9120 USB
Scanner Specifications” on page 63. Also visit our Web site at
www.visioneer.com for additional technical information. You can also
receive software updates from the Web site.

Scanning
This chapter describes how to scan paper documents as well as 35mm
slides and negatives.
There are three ways to scan a paper item:
■ Press a OneTouch button on the scanner
■ Click a button on the button panel
■ Click a button from the PaperPort software
Note: To scan transparencies you must scan from PaperPort (or other
TWAIN software). See “Scanning 35mm Slides and Negatives” on
page 25 for details.
PRESSING A ONETOUCH BUTTON ON THE SCANNER
Pressing a scanner button scans the item, and then sends the image to
the destination associated with the button.
To scan by pressing a OneTouch button on the scanner:
1. Place an item face down on the glass. Align the edge of the item
with the arrow at the upper-left corner of the glass.
PRESSING A ONETOUCH BUTTON ON THE SCANNER 17
2. Close the document cover and press one of the OneTouch buttons.
The scanner starts scanning the item. Messages just above the
Windows taskbar show the status of the scanning process.
During scanning, the scan progress window shows a copy of the
image, as illustrated here.
When the scan is complete, the scanned image appears in the
destination application. In this example, the destination application
is the PaperPort desktop.

ABOUT THE ONETOUCH BUTTONS
The OneTouch buttons are preconfigured for typical scanning tasks. To
change button settings, see “Configuring the Buttons” on page 32.
The following table describes the preconfigured button settings:
Button Function Preconfigured Settings
Scan Scans the item as a color page and displays
it in PaperPort.
Email Scans the item as a color photo and
attaches it to a new email message in your
email application.
OCR Converts the item’s text to black and white
word processing text, and displays it in a
word processing application.
Copy/Print Prints the scanned item in black and white
on your printer/copier at the printer/
copier’s default resolution.
Custom Scans the item as a color photo and
displays it in an image processing
application.
Note: If a button is not preconfigured, the Configuration dialog box
opens when you press that button so you can configure it manually.
For example, if your computer does not have email software installed,
the email button is not configured during installation.
