GETTING HELP

The PaperPort software includes a complete set of help topics that
answer questions about the scanner and its software.

To get help while using the PaperPort software:

• Press the F1 key, or from the Help menu, choose PaperPort Help

Topics to display the Help Topics window.

Tip: If you don’t find the answers in the help or User’s Guide, see the

technical support card that you received with your scanner.

STEP 1: INSTALLING THE PAPERPORT SOFTWARE

Note: You must install the PaperPort software before you connect
the Visioneer OneTouch 5300 USB scanner to the computer.
Otherwise the correct program to run your scanner will not be
installed and it may not scan properly.

The PaperPort CD includes all the PaperPort software files.

The CD also includes the PaperPort User’s Guide, the manual for the
PaperPort software. You can read the guide while the CD is running, or
print a copy directly from the CD to your printer.

To install the PaperPort software:

1. Start Microsoft Windows 98 and make sure that no other

applications are running.

2. Insert the PaperPort CD into your computer’s CD-ROM drive.

The CD automatically starts.

STEP 1: INSTALLING THE PAPERPORT SOFTWARE 5

Note: If the PaperPort CD does not automatically start, make sure
the CD drive’s door is completely shut. If the CD still doesn’t start,
the autorun option on your computer is turned off. Click the
Windows 98 icon that shows the drives on your computer. (Usually,
the icon is named My Computer.) The window shows the drives
available on your computer. Double-click the icon for your
CD-ROM drive to see the list of files on the CD. Double-click the
file named START32.EXE. The CD starts.

3. Follow the instructions on the screen to install the PaperPort

software on your computer. Later, after the scanner is working,
you can install the other applications provided on the CD.

4. During installation, a message will tell you to connect the scanner

to the computer.

5. Follow the steps in the next section to connect the scanner. When

you’re finished, click OK in the dialog box above.

STEP 2: CONNECTING THE SCANNER TO THE COMPUTER

The Visioneer OneTouch 5300 USB scanner connects to any available
USB port. Check your computer’s manual for its USB port locations.

Note: You do not have to shut off the power to your computer when
connecting the Visioneer 5300 USB scanner.

To connect the Visioneer 5300 USB scanner:

1. Plug one end of the USB cable into an available USB port.

Some newer computers also have keyboards with USB ports. You
can plug the 5300 USB scanner into the keyboard instead of the
USB port on the computer.

2. Plug the other end of the USB cable into the USB port on the back

of the scanner.
If the plug does not attach easily, make sure that you are plugging it

in correctly. Do not force the plug into the connection.

3. Plug the power adapter cable into the jack on the scanner.

4. Plug the power adapter into an AC (wall) outlet.

The following diagram shows the scanner connected to a computer.

Power cord USB Cable

A dialog box appears saying the USB scanner has been found.

STEP 2: CONNECTING THE SCANNER TO THE COMPUTER 7

When you plug the scanner’s power adapter into a wall outlet an
amber light on the front of the scanner comes on indicating that
the scanner is receiving power. The light remains amber until the
scanner and computer are communicating properly. Then the light
turns green.

That completes the steps to connect your scanner to the computer.

5. When the software installation is finished, remove the CD from the

computer and store it in a safe place.

6. Please turn to “Checking It Out” on page 14 to continue setting up

your Visioneer OneTouch 5300 USB scanner.

Note: The scanning lamp under the scanner’s glass remains lit so you
don’t have to wait for it to warm up each time you want to scan. This
is normal even after the computer is turned off. To conserve electricity
and prolong the life of the scanner, the lamp automatically powers
down after a period of non-use.

INSTALLING THE 5300 PARALLEL SCANNER

This section of the manual contains instructions for the Visioneer

• One available parallel (LPT) port on your computer

• 16 megabytes (MB) or more of available internal memory (RAM)
