To connect the PaperPort scanner:

2. Turn off the power to your computer.

3. Slide the scanner lock to the unlocked position. The lock holds the

unplug the cable and plug it into the port marked “To printer” on
the back of the scanner.

5. Plug the PC end of the scanner cable into an available parallel port

on the back of your computer.
On some older computers the serial port and parallel port both

have 25-pin connectors that fit the scanner cable. Please make sure
you plug the scanner cable into a parallel port.

6. Plug the other end of the scanner cable into the por t on the back of

the scanner marked “To PC parallel port.”

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

8. Plug the power adapter into an AC (wall) outlet. The power-on

light on the front of the scanner comes on indicating the scanner is

STEP 2: INSTALLING THE PAPERPORT SOFTWARE

The PaperPort CD includes all the PaperPort software files.

▼ NOTE: The CD also includes the P aperP ort U ser ’s G uide, the manual

for your PaperPort software. You can read the guide while the CD is
running, or print a copy directly from the CD.

To install the PaperPort software:

1. Start Microsoft Windows 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.

▼ NOTE: I f the PaperPort CD does not automatically start, make sure

the CD drive’s door is completely shut. If the CD still doesn’t start,
click the Windows 95 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. Click the PaperPort Software button and follow the instructions

on the screen.
After the PaperPort software is installed on your computer, you can

click the appropriate buttons on the CD to install the other
applications provided on the CD, or read and print the PaperPort

4. When you’re finished installing the software, remove the CD from

the CD drive.

STEP 3: CHECKING IT OUT 7

STEP 3: CHECKING IT OUT

The OneTouch scanner softwar e adds the scanner icon to the Windows
taskbar (at the bottom right corner of the computer screen). If the
scanner icon looks like the one shown in the figure, the scanner is
properly connected.

Scanner Icon

If the icon has a red X thr ough it, the scanner is not pr operly connected.

for the steps to fix the problem.

To check the status of the scanner:

1. Place the mouse pointer on the scanner icon on the Windows

taskbar.

2. Click the icon with the right mouse button.

8 PAPERPORT ONETOUCH SCANNER INSTALLATION GUIDE

4. Click OK to close the dialog box.
That’s it. Your OneTouch Scanner is ready to scan.
See “Scanning By Pressing the OneTouch Buttons” on page 12.

IF THE SCANNER IS NOT PROPERLY CONNECTED

If the scanner icon on the Windows taskbar has a red “X” through it as
shown in the figure, the scanner is not properly connected.

Check the following 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 it isn’t, plug the power adapter

into another electrical outlet.

■ Are you using an older computer that has 25-pin connectors for both

serial and parallel ports? You may have plugged the scanner cable
into a serial port instead of the parallel port. R emove the scanner
cable from the serial port and plug the cable into the parallel por t.

■ Are other devices “daisy-chained” to the parallel port? If so, the

scanner must be the first one connected to the computer (with
the exception of a Zip driv e which must be connected directly to
the computer and the scanner then connected to the drive).
Plug the scanner into the computer ’s parallel port first, then plug
the next device into 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 on the CD for additional information that
may help you diagnose problems connecting the scanner.
