2. Plug the power cord into the power supply then into a wall outlet.
Note: Only use the power supply (HEG42-240200-7L made by HiTron)
included with your scanner. Connecting any other type of power supply may
damage your scanner, and will void its warranty.
STEP 3: CONNECT THE SCANNER 13
To connect to the computer:
1. Remove any protective tape from the USB cable.
2. Plug the USB cable into the USB port on the scanner then into a USB
port on the computer. (Check your computer’s manual for USB port
locations.)
If you use a USB hub, it must have its own power supply already plugged
into an electrical outlet.
3. Turn on the power switch, located on the back of the scanner.
The status light comes on and flashes indicating that the scanner is
receiving power.
If you are using Windows XP or Windows Vista, and have plugged the
USB cable into a USB 1.1 port, an information bubble may open
explaining that “A HI-SPEED USB device is plugged into a non-HISPEED USB hub”. Plug the USB cable into a USB 2.0 port (if available)
or just disregard the message. If you leave it plugged into the USB 1.1
port, your scanner may scan a bit slower.
4. Your computer then recognizes that a scanner has been plugged into the
USB port and automatically loads the appropriate software to run the
scanner.
If your computer is running Windows XP or Windows Vista, you will see a
Found New Hardware message similar to the following.

Scanning
If you selected the recommended Full Install option for your scanner’s driver
(see page 11), you have several different scanning options with your Visioneer
Patriot 680 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 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 or
to a storage folder on your computer. See “Loading Documents to Scan” on
page 22.
■ 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. See “Scan from the OneTouch Button Panel” on
page 26.
■ TWAIN Interface—The TWAIN interface is for scanning from various
programs on your computer. The TWAIN interface is available from the
OmniPage software, as well as from other programs such as Microsoft Word
or Adobe® Acrobat® Professional. See “Scanning with the TWAIN
Interface” on page 66.
■ 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 Image Acquisition interface. See “Scanning with the
Windows Image Acquisition” on page 80.
■ ISIS Interface—This option uses the ISIS interface for scanning. The ISIS
interface for each application varies depending on the application. See
“Scanning with the ISIS Interface” on page 83.

LOADING DOCUMENTS TO SCAN
You can use your Visioneer Patriot 680 to scan a single page or a stack of
double-sided pages. The maximum page size is 8.5 x 14 inches for both the
Automatic Document Feeder and Flatbed glass.
AUTOMATIC DOCUMENT FEEDER (ADF)
1. Lift the lid and make sure there is no paper on the flatbed glass.
If a page is left on the glass this can cause a paper jam.
2. Adjust the paper guide for the width of paper being scanned.
3. Load the documents face up with the tops of the pages inserted into the
Automatic Document Feeder.
4. Lift the paper stop on the back of the tray to keep documents in the
output tray after scanning completes.
5. You can now scan the document using the OneTouch scanner buttons,
the OneTouch button panel, or one of the other scanning interfaces.
IMPORTANT: Items scanned using the Automatic Document Feeder must be
a minimum of 5.5 x 4.5 inches.
Note: Always remove any staples or paper clips from documents before
inserting them into the scanner. 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.
LOADING DOCUMENTS TO SCAN 23
FLATBED GLASS
1. Remove any paper from the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF).
The scanner automatically detects if paper is in the ADF and will scan
pages in it. You must remove these pages prior to scanning if you want to
scan from the flatbed.
2. Lift the scanner cover and place the document face down on the glass.
3. Align the item with the arrow on the reference frame for the size page
being scanned, then close the cover.
4. You can now scan the document using the OneTouch scanner buttons,
the OneTouch button panel, or one of the other scanning interfaces.

SCANNING FROM ONETOUCH
OneTouch is your main scanning interface for using the scanner. The
OneTouch functions on the scanner mirror the OneTouch Button Panel.
THE DEFAULT ONETOUCH SETTINGS
Based on the recommended Full Install of the scanner driver, your scanner is
pre-configured to scan items for various basic tasks, such as email or printing,
then send the scanned image to an appropriate, pre-selected Destination
Application.
You can change any of these settings. Please see “Selecting New Settings for a
Button” on page 29 for instructions on changing the button settings.
For example, the eMail button is set to scan documents then immediately
attach them to a new eMail message. The eMail application will default to the
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 to scan and send items directly to a folder location on your computer or
network without first opening it in an application.
A question mark for a button means that your computer does not have the
appropriate software or hardware for the initial factory setting. In that case,
you would probably want to change the button name and destination
application to something else.
If the OneTouch OmniPage module or OmniPage Pro software is not
installed, then the options for sending to word processing applications such as
Microsoft’s Word will not be available. The OneTouch OmniPage Module was
installed during the Full Install of the scanner driver.
The 99 scanner functions mirror the OneTouch panel.
Note: The default page size in each configuration is based on your
computer’s Windows setup of United States or Metric units.
SCANNING FROM ONETOUCH 25
SCAN FROM THE ONETOUCH SCANNER BUTTONS
Pressing a scanner button scans the item and sends the image to the
Destination Application associated with the current LED function number.
Each function’s scan settings are determined by the selected settings show in
the OneTouch Properties window.
1. Load a stack of documents face up in the ADF or place a single page
face down on the flatbed glass.
2. Use the button selector arrows to change to the LED function you want to
use to scan.
3. Press either the Simplex or Duplex button on the scanner to initiate the
scan.
To scan a single-side document from the ADF press the Simplex button.
To scan a double-side document from the ADF press the Duplex button.
When scanning from the Flatbed, pressing the Simplex or Duplex button
simply initiates a scan. Only the face down side of the page is scanned.
4. A scan progress window opens and the image is sent to the selected
application in the OneTouch software.
