scanner. Each method scans equally well, so use the one with appropriate
options for the item you are scanning.
■ OneTouch Scanner Buttons—When you press either the Simplex or
Duplex button, documents are scanned using the scan settings indicated
by the LED number. The scanned images are then sent to a software
application (known as the Destination Application) on your computer.
See “Load Documents to Scan” on page 20.
■ OneTouch Button Panel—Use this scan option when you want to scan
from the computer screen. 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 23.
■ TWAIN Interface—This option uses your scanner’s TWAIN interface
to scan. The TWAIN interface is available from the PaperPort software
that you received with your scanner, as well as from other programs such
as Microsoft Word. See “Scanning with the TWAIN Interface” on
page 69.
■ Windows Image Acquisition (WIA)—If your computer is running
Windows XP or Windows Vista, you can use this option to scan with
the Microsoft Windows WIA interface. See “Scanning from the WIA
Interface” on page 73.

LOAD DOCUMENTS TO SCAN
1. Adjust the paper guide for the width of paper, and make sure the input
and output trays are fully extended.
2. Load the documents into the scanner face down with the tops of the
page inserted into the Automatic Document Feeder.
For one-sided scanning press the Simplex button.
For two-sided scanning press the Duplex button.
Note: Always remove any staples or paper clips from documents before
inserting them into the scanner’s Automatic Document Feeder. 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.
SCANNING FROM ONETOUCH 21
The OneTouch LED shows which
scan setting will be used for scanning,
in this case scan setting 6.
SCANNING FROM ONETOUCH
OneTouch is your main scanning interface for using the scanner. The
OneTouch LED on the scanner shows which scan setting will be used for
scanning. It is scan setting 6 in the example below.
The OneTouch Button Panel that you see on the computer screen shows
the pre-set function for each button (such as eMail) and the icons of the
applications (called the Destination Applications) where the images will be
sent when scanning is finished. In the example below, Button 6 will scan
the pages with Optical Character Recognition (OCR) processing and open
them in the Microsoft Word application.
You can reconfigure the buttons to have new scan settings, for instance, to
send the scanned images to a different Destination Application. See the
section, “Configuring the OneTouch Buttons” on page 25.
Note that if you reconfigure a button, the scanner LED will then refer to
that new scan setting.

THE DEFAULT ONETOUCH SETTINGS ON YOUR SCANNER
Based on the recommended installation of PaperPort and the scanner
driver, your scanner is pre-configured to scan items for various basic tasks,
such as email or fax, then send the scanned image to an appropriate, preselected Destination Application. The button names, such as PDF, eMail or
Fax, indicate the original factory settings for a button.
You can change any of these settings. Please see “Configuring the OneTouch
Buttons” on page 25 for instructions on changing the button settings.
For example, the eMail button is set up to scan documents then
immediately attach them to a new eMail message in your default eMail
program. the eMail application will default to the eMail program specified
in the internet options of Internet Explorer.
A folder icon for a button, such as shown for Button 7, means that the
button is set up to archive the scanned item. This is a special preconfigured Transfer to Storage option for your scanner. The scanner sends
the scanned image directly to a folder without opening the image first in a
Destination Application.
A question mark for a button means your computer does not have the
appropriate software for the initial factory settings. In that case, you would
probably want to change the name and Destination Application to
something else.
If PaperPort, OmniPage or One Touch OmniPage is not installed, then the
options for sending to word processing applications such as Microsoft
Word will not be available.
Note: The default page size in each configuration is based on the location
selected in your computer’s Windows setup.
CONFIGURING THE ONETOUCH BUTTONS 25
Right-click on a button (for example, button 2)
and the Properties window opens for that button.
CONFIGURING THE ONETOUCH BUTTONS
When you first connect your scanner to a computer, the scanner’s software
configures each button with appropriate settings. Each OneTouch button
configuration consists of a Destination Application, a Scan
Configuration, and a Document Format. The OneTouch Properties
window is where you select these three elements for a button.
To open the OneTouch Properties window:
1. Click the OneTouch icon. It is located in the Windows Notification
Area at the bottom right corner of the screen.
2. Right-click a button on the OneTouch Button Panel.
The OneTouch Properties window opens for that button.
Note: Some of the options on the OneTouch Properties window (and
other OneTouch windows and dialog boxes) are “grayed out” and are not
available. Grayed out options are not appropriate for your Visioneer
Patriot 430 scanner.
The OneTouch Properties window also opens when you press, hold
down, and release the Simplex or Duplex button on the scanner.
