its power directly from the computer through the USB cable. If you
use a USB Hub with your computer, the Hub must have its own
power supply so the scanner can draw power from it. The scanner also
does not have an on/off switch. It is ready to scan as soon as Windows
loads on your computer.

Scanning
This section describes how to scan paper documents, book pages and
photographs:
You can use several different methods to scan with your scanner.
■ OneTouch Scanner Buttons—Each scanner button is set up to scan
for a particular function, such as Email to attach a scanned item to a
new Email message, or Photo to scan photographs to the ArcSoft
PhotoImpression software where you can touch up the colors. See
“Scan from the OneTouch Scanner Buttons” on page 17.
■ OneTouch Button Panel—Scanning from the on-screen OneTouch
Button Panel is the same as pressing a scanner button, except you
click an icon that represents the scanner button. See “Scan from the
OneTouch Button Panel” on page 22.
■ TWAIN Interface—This option is for scanning from within a
scanning application. The TWAIN interface is available from the
PaperPort software and ArcSoft Scrapbook Suite applications, as well
as from other programs such as Microsoft Word. The TWAIN
interface has two options—the Basic Interface and the Advanced
Interface. “Scanning from the TWAIN Interface” on page 81
■ Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) Interface—This option uses
the Microsoft Windows set of choices for scanning paper items only.
Scanning with WIA is available only if your computer is running
Windows XP or Windows Vista. See “Scanning from the Windows
Image Acquisition (WIA) Interface” on page 99.
SCANNING FROM ONETOUCH 17
SCANNING FROM ONETOUCH
OneTouch is your main scanning interface for using the scanner. The
OneTouch Buttons on the scanner mirror the software OneTouch
Button Panel. Changing the button settings on the OneTouch Button
Panel makes the same changes to the buttons on the scanner.
SCAN FROM THE ONETOUCH SCANNER BUTTONS
Pressing a scanner button scans the item, and then sends the image to
the Destination Application associated with the button. Each button’s
scanning function are the selected settings shown in the OneTouch
Properties window.
Based on the recommended installation of PaperPort and the scanner
driver, your scanner is preconfigured to scan items for various basic
tasks, such as email or fax, then send the scanned image to an
appropriate, pre-selected Destination Application.
If PaperPort is not installed, then the options for sending to word
processing applications such as Microsoft Word will not be available.
The following table describes the preconfigured button settings. These
are the default settings on installation of the OneTouch software and
they can be reconfigured to reflect your own scanning needs:
18 VISIONEER ONETOUCH 7400 USB SCANNER INSTALLATION GUIDE
Button Destination Preconfigured Settings
Scan PaperPort Scans in Color, 200dpi
Opens the image in PaperPort
Custom Storage Scans in Black & White, 150dpi
Immediately saves the image file to a
folder location on your computer.
The image is not opened in an
application for viewing.
E-Mail Email Application Scans in Color, 300dpi
Attaches the scanned image to a new
email message.
OCR Microsoft Word
or WordPad
Scans in Black & White, 200dpi
Converts the scanned text into
editable text.
Copy Printer Scans in Black & White, 200dpi
Prints a Black & White copy of your
scanned item.
Note: The default page size in each configuration is based on the
location selected in your Windows setup.
For example:
■ If the Windows location is set to “United States” the default page
size in each profile will be based on the United States standard
page sizes such as 8.5”x11”.
■ If the Windows location is “United Kingdom” the default page
size in each profile is based on the ISO 216 standard and the
majority of the profiles will default to A4.
Note: The email application will default to the email program
specified in the internet options of Internet Explorer.
SCANNING FROM ONETOUCH 19
Reference marks

application for the OneTouch button.
In the example below, the image is scanned in the TIFF format and
the Destination Application is the PaperPort Desktop. The scanned
item appears a thumbnail on the PaperPort Desktop.
5. You can now work with the image in its Destination Application.
SCANNING FROM ONETOUCH 21
SCANNING PAGES IN A BOOK
Your OneTouch 7400 USB scanner has an innovative hinged lid so you
can lay books flat on the scanner glass to scan their pages.
To scan book pages:
1. Open the document cover and place the book on the glass.
2. Align the edges of the pages with the reference marks.
3. Close the document cover.
Notice how the hinge at the back of the document cover lifts up so
cover lays flat on the book.

like pressing a button on the scanner. The scanner scans the item, then
sends the image to the Destination Application indicated by the button’s
icon. This method of scanning is especially helpful if the scanner is not
located close to your computer.
To scan from the button panel on the screen:
1. Place an item face down on the glass. Align the bottom of the item
with the scanner’s reference marks.
2. Close the document cover, and click the OneTouch icon on the
right-hand side of the Windows System Tray (at the bottom right
corner of the screen).
The button panel opens on the screen. The five buttons on the
panel correspond to the same five buttons on the scanner.
3. Click a button on the panel.
The scanner starts scanning the item. When the scan is complete, the
scanned image opens in the Destination Application indicated by the
button’s icon just as if you had scanned using a scanner button. For
example, if you click the Scan button, the scanned image opens in the
PaperPort program.
Note: To scan from the Button Panel, the OneTouch Properties
window must be closed. Click the window’s close box, or click the
Cancel or OK button on the window. See the next section, “Scan
from the OneTouch Button Panel.”

ABOUT THE ONETOUCH BUTTON PANEL’S NAMES AND ICONS
The button names on the panel are the same as button names on the
scanner. The icons indicate the Destination Applications so you can see,
at a glance, where the image will be sent when scanning is finished.
The Scan button—Scans a page in black and white and sends the
image to the PaperPort software that you received with your scanner.
From there you can easily convert the image to many different formats,
such as PDF or DOC.
The Custom button— Scans the item as a color photo and displays it
in an image processing application. If your computer is running
Windows XP or Windows Vista, and has a CD burner attached, the
Custom button will be pre-configured to burn a CD.
The Email button—Scans a page in color then sends it to your email
application. The email application opens and the image is automatically
attached to a new message ready for you to address and send.
The OCR button—Scans a page in black & white then sends the image
to a word processing application such as Microsoft Word. OneTouch
automatically converts the item’s text to black and white word
processing text, and displays it in a word processing application so that
the text can be edited.
The Copy button—Scans a page in color then sends the image to your
printer/copier. The printer/copier starts and prints a copy of the page.
This is a quick way to print a copy of the original page.
A question mark for a button means your computer does not have
appropriate software, or in some cases the appropriate hardware, for the
initial factory settings. In that case, you can re-set the button’s
Destination Application to a software application that you know is on
your computer.
See “Selecting Settings for a Button” on page 29 to change the settings
of a button.
