BEFORE YOU BEGIN 5

Installing

Installation is a quick, four-step process:

1. Assemble the scanner

2. Install the software

3. Connect the power supply

4. Connect the USB cable and turn on the power

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 9750 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 9750 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 hardware for instructions about removing the driver and software for that unit.

14 VISIONEER 9750 SCANNER USER’S GUIDE

18. 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 the TWAIN and ISIS drivers. 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 TWAIN driver to scan from applications with a TWAIN interface. You can also scan from applications that use the ISIS driver. You will not be able to scan with the buttons on the scanner.

STEP 2: INSTALL THE SOFTWARE 15

■ TWAIN only—The TWAIN driver is installed without the

OneTouch 4.0 software or the ISIS driver. You can use the TWAIN driver to scan from TWAIN applications. You will not be able to scan with the buttons on the scanner.

■ ISIS only—The ISIS driver is installed. You can use applications

that use the ISIS driver to scan, such as the QuickScan application you received with the scanner. The OneTouch 4.0 Monitor will not run and you cannot use the OneTouch features. You will not be able to use the TWAIN driver. You also will not be able to scan with the buttons on the scanner.

Note: If you decide to change your scanner’s installed drivers later on, you must first uninstall the drivers the scanner is currently using. See the section “To Install Another Driver” on page 146.

19. Click Next.

During installation you will see this window asking you to select one of the images for your Color Space setting.

16 VISIONEER 9750 SCANNER USER’S GUIDE

The Color Space setting sets the gamma value for the scanner so scanned items look good on your monitor. Gamma controls the brightness of the midtones of colors. That setting can be changed later on as you’re scanning.

20. Select the option that looks best to you and click Next.

The driver installation will now begin.

21. STOP when you see this Installation Complete window. Do NOT click Finish yet. Leave the window open and proceed to the next section,“Step 3: Connect the Power Supply.”

Reminder: If your computer is running AntiVirus or AntiSpyware software, you may see messages asking you to allow installation. Select the option to allow installation to proceed.

Note: If you want to see more information about your scanner and a quick explanation of how to use the OneTouch features, click the More button on the window. When you’re finished, return to the window above to continue with the installation process.

STEP 3: CONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY 17

STEP 3: CONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY

Connect the power supply and power cord, and plug the power supply into an electrical outlet.

To connect the power supply:

1. Plug the power supply into its power port on the scanner.

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.

2. Plug the power cord into the power supply and into a wall outlet.

Now proceed to the next section, “Step 4: Connect the USB Cable and Turn on the Power.”

18 VISIONEER 9750 SCANNER USER’S GUIDE

STEP 4: CONNECT THE USB CABLE AND TURN ON THE

OWER

Your Visioneer 9750 scanner connects to any available USB port. Check your computer’s manual for the 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 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.

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. If you use a USB hub, it must have its own power supply already plugged into an electrical outlet.

STEP 4: CONNECT THE USB CABLE AND TURN ON THE POWER 19

3. Turn on the power switch, located to the right 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 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 automatically loads the appropriate software to run the scanner.

20 VISIONEER 9750 SCANNER USER’S GUIDE

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.

5. When you’re certain that the software has completely loaded, return to the “Complete the installation by connecting your hardware” window.

Note: To see more information about your scanner, click the More button on the window. When you’re finished, return to the window above to continue with the installation process.

6. Click OK.

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

STEP 4: CONNECT THE USB CABLE AND TURN ON THE POWER 21

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

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

22 VISIONEER 9750 SCANNER USER’S GUIDE

Scanning

If you selected the recommended Full Install option for your scanner’s driver (see page 14), you have several options for scanning. Each method scans equally well so use the one with appropriate options for the item you are scanning.

Note: During installation, the OneTouch 4.0 software searches your computer and links to all the applications (known as the Destination Applications) where it can send and open scanned documents. To make sure that all the Destination Applications are linked to OneTouch 4.0, we recommend that you refresh OneTouch 4.0 before using your scanner for the first time. See “Check the Scan Settings Before Scanning” on page 33 to Refresh OneTouch 4.0.

■ Scan Buttons—Press one of the scan buttons. Documents are

scanned using the scan settings for that button, and the scanned images are then sent to a software application on your computer. See “Scan with the Buttons on the Scanner” on page 29.

■ OneTouch—Use this option to scan from the OneTouch Button

panel on the computer screen. Open the panel, adjust the scan settings as needed, then click one of the button icons on the panel. See “Scan From the OneTouch Button Panel” on page 31.

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

application that you received with your scanner. Many other programs use the TWAIN interface, so you can scan from them too. See “Scanning with the TWAIN Interface” on page 93.

■ 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 you computer. See “Scanning with the WIA Interface” on page 121. The WIA interface is only available if your computer is running Windows XP.

■ ISIS Interface—This option uses the ISIS interface for scanning.

The QuickScan software you received with your scanner uses the ISIS interface. See “Scanning with the ISIS Interface” on page 127.

SCANNING BASICS 27

SCANNING BASICS

Your scanner can scan a stack of documents using the Automatic Document Feeder, or a single page on the Flatbed glass.

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. Also remove any labels, stickers, or Post-It™ notes that may come off during the scanning process and get stuck in the scanner. Misuse as described here will void your scanner’s warranty.

LOAD A STACK OF DOCUMENTS

1. Lift the document cover and make sure no pages have inadvertently been left on the Flatbed glass.

ABOUT THE ONETOUCH BUTTON PANEL’S NAMES AND ICONS

The names on the OneTouch Button Panel correspond to the scanner buttons, and the icons indicate their Destination Applications. You can change the Destination Application and any other settings of a button.

The eMail button is set up to scan documents, then immediately attach them to a new email message in your default eMail program. If you don’t have an email program on your computer, the button will have a question mark as its icon.

The Copy button is set up to send the scanned image directly to your computer’s printer, copier, or fax machine without opening the scanned image in an application. This essentially means you can use your scanner as if it is a copier.

The Scan button is pre-configured to scan your documents in the PDF format then open them in the PaperPort application that you received with your scanner. You can then use the features of PaperPort to work with the image.

If you want to use another application to work with your scanned images you can change the Destination Application and settings of a button. For example, if you scan a lot of documents that have faint images, such as hand-drawn sketches in light pencil, you might want to

change the Destination Application to Microsoft Paint drawing program.

A special pre-configured setting for your scanner is the Transfer to Storage option, indicated by the folder icon on the Button Panel. This option is designed for archiving documents. When you scan with Transfer to Storage as the Destination Application, the scanner sends the scanned image directly to the default folder at C:\Documents and

Settings\<your user name>\My Documents\My OneTouch Archive\PDF Documents without first opening it in an application.

The file will be named with the current date. Initially, none of the three scanner buttons are assigned this setting, but if you want to use the scanner for archiving documents, you can easily choose this preconfigured setting for a button.

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 button.

The available options are for images and text.

Image Formats. Text Formats.

The Text Formats are for text file types. The names of the formats indicate their file types. See “Text Formats” on page 54 for details.

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 format when scanning text pages that do not require OCR processing or other processing. The PDF format is also

CONFIGURING THE ONETOUCH BUTTONS 53

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 format.

2. Right-click on the JPG or PDF icon.

A menu opens.

3. 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.

Your selection pertains only to the button currently selected on the OneTouch Properties window. Other buttons that have JPG or PDF selected as the Format are not affected, so you can set the JPEG or PDF file size/image quality independently for each button.

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

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.

Note: Visioneer recommends that all OCR processing use the original factory settings for OCR scanning that came with your scanner. When scanning with other settings, use at least 300 dpi for the resolution. If the original documents are of poor quality and have small type, 400 dpi can be used as the maximum resolution.

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.

3. 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 selected 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.

CONFIGURING THE ONETOUCH BUTTONS 59

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.

■ Tex t E d i t o r s 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.

■ PDF applications are for documents scanned to PDF format.

■ Email includes Microsoft Outlook and other email applications.

See “eMail Properties” on page 50 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 82 and “Scan and Burn to a CD” on page 75 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 78 for details.

4. After selecting a new category for the Destination Applications,

click the tab of the button you’re working with to see which applications are added to the list. For example, if you selected new categories for the Scan button, click its tab at the top of the window

60 VISIONEER 9750 SCANNER USER’S GUIDE

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 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 description below and the figure on page

61).

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

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

Likewise, the option is not available if the Destination Application is set as 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 OneTouch

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.

When you create a new scan configuration, it will be listed for the buttons that are set for the same types of Destination Applications. For example, if you create a new configuration for a button that is set to show image editor applications, that new configuration is also listed for any other buttons set for image editors, but not for buttons set for text editing applications. Thus, you can create specific sets of scan configurations for specific functions and they are listed only when appropriate.

CONFIGURING THE ONETOUCH BUTTONS 63

To create a new configuration:

64 VISIONEER 9750 SCANNER USER’S GUIDE

5. 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 Black&White mode.

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.

■ 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 300dpi or less.

■ Straighten Image—Select this option to let the scanner

automatically determine if a page is skewed, 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.

SCANNING WITH THE TWAIN INTERFACE 93

Scanning with the TWAIN Interface

SCANNING WITH THE TWAIN INTERFACE

Instead of using the scanner buttons or the OneTouch Button Panel to scan, you can scan from the TWAIN interface. The PaperPort application you received with your scanner uses the TWAIN interface for scanning. This scanning method is particularly helpful when you’re already 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 procedure that software applications use to receive images from scanners, digital cameras, and other digital devices. The PaperPort software you received with your scanner uses the TWAIN standard, and this guide shows how to scan with it. But you can also open the same 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 with your Visioneer 9750 scanner. 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: You can also access the TWAIN interface when you’re scanning from the OneTouch software. If the OneTouch configuration you’re using to scan is set to Configure Before Scan, and the selected option is TWAIN, the TWAIN interface opens right away without opening PaperPort or any other TWAIN-compliant software first. See the section “Configuring Before Scanning” on page 73 for details.
