STEP 3: CHECKING 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 next section, “If the Scanner Is Not Properly Connected” on
page 9, for the steps to fix the problem.

To check the status of the scanner:

1. On the Windows taskbar, right-click on 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.

STEP 3: CHECKING OUT YOUR SCANNER 9

Your scanner is ready to scan. See “Three Ways to Scan” on page 11.

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 for it to
warm up 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 25.

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 or more 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.

• 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.

Refer to the PaperPort Readme file. The Readme file contains additional
information that may help you diagnose problems connecting the
scanner. From the Windows taskbar, click Start, point to PaperPort,
and then click Read Me. See also“Troubleshooting” on page 38 for
more information.

10 VISIONEER ONETOUCH 6600 SCANNER INSTALLATION AND USER GUIDE

To connect the scanner:

1. After checking for the above problems, if the scanner does not start
automatically, right-click the scanner icon with the red X over it.

The shortcut menu appears.

2. Select 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.

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 OneTouch 6600
Specifications” on page 48. Also visit our web site at www.visioneer.com
for additional technical information.

THREE WAYS TO SCAN 11

Scanning

This chapter describes three methods of scanning, as well as how to
customize scanning options.

THREE WAYS TO SCAN

You can scan items by using buttons on the scanner, buttons on the
screen, or from the PaperPort software (or other Twain software).

• Scan with the scanner buttons

Press a button on the scanner’s front panel. See “Scanning by

Pressing the Scanner Buttons” on page 12.

• Scan from the screen

On the Windows taskbar, click the scanner icon. A panel of scanner
buttons opens. Click a button to start a scan. See “Scanning from the
Button Panel on the Screen” on page 14 for details.

• Scan from the PaperPort software (or other Twain software)

Start the PaperPort software and then click the Twain icon on the
PaperPort command bar. You can also scan from other Twain
software. See “Scanning from the PaperPort Software” on page 28.

12 VISIONEER ONETOUCH 6600 SCANNER INSTALLATION AND USER GUIDE

SCANNING BY PRESSING THE SCANNER BUTTONS

Pressing a scanner button scans the item and then sends the image to
the printer or a software application on your computer.

To scan by pressing a button on the scanner:

1. Place an item face-down on the glass and align the edge of the item
with the arrow marker at the lower-left corner of the glass.

2. Close the document cover and press one of the scanner buttons.

The scanner starts scanning. The scan progress window shows a
small copy of the image, as illustrated by this example:

The scanned image appears in the destination software. In this
example, the destination software is the PaperPort desktop.

SCANNING BY PRESSING THE SCANNER BUTTONS 13

ABOUT THE BUTTONS ON THE SCANNER

The scanner buttons are preconfigured to scan items at various settings
and then send the scanned image to a preselected destination software
application. You can change the settings for each button. See “About the
Configuration Dialog Box” on page 15.

The following table lists the scanner’s preconfigured button settings:

Button Preconfigured Settings

Email Scans the item as a color photo and attaches it to a

new email message in your email application

Scan Scans the item as an AutoCrop scan photograph and

displays it in the PaperPort application

Copy/Print Prints the scanned item in black and white on your

printer/copier at the printer/copier’s default resolution

Note: If a button is not preconfigured, the Configuration dialog box
opens on your computer screen so you can configure it manually. For
example, if your computer does not have email software installed, the
Email button is not preconfigured.
