12 VISIONEER ROADWARRIOR SCANNER USER’S GUIDE

STEP 2: CONNECT AND CALIBRATE THE SCANNER

Your Visioneer scanner connects to any available USB port. Check your
computer’s manual for USB port locations.

Note: You can connect the scanner to your computer while the
computer is running. You do not have to shut down your computer.

1. Using the on-screen window as your guide, plug one end of the

USB cable into any USB port on your computer.
Note that the scanner does not have power ports. Your scanner gets

power from the computer through the USB cable.

2. Plug the other end of the cable into the USB port on your scanner.

The USB symbol identifies the location of the USB port on your
computer. If the plug does not attach easily, make sure that you are
plugging it in correctly. Do not force the plug into the connection.

Note: You can also connect the scanner to a USB hub if the hub has
its own power supply plugged into an electrical outlet.

Your computer recognizes that a scanner has been plugged into the
USB port and automatically configures its driver database with the
appropriate software to run the scanner.

STEP 2: CONNECT AND CALIBRATE THE SCANNER 13

Because the RoadWarrior draws its power from the computer through
the USB cable, you can use your scanner on an airplane, at a remote job
site, in your car, or anywhere else.

■ Connect the scanner to your laptop with the USB cable. The scanner

will draw its power from the laptop battery.

SCANNING BASICS

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. Do not scan
any document with wet correction fluid, labels, stickers or Post-It™
notes on the pages. The correction fluid or glue from the stickers can
leave residue on the lens that is difficult to clean. The residue also
causes lines to occur in the scanned images. If a label, sticker or Post-It
note comes off during the scanning process, the item can get stuck in
the scanner and this will void your scanner’s warranty.

SCAN USING AUTOLAUNCH

When you insert an item into the scanner, it is automatically scanned
and the image is sent to a software application on your computer.

To scan using AutoLaunch:

1. Align a document with the Paper Guides and insert it, face down,
into the paper feed slot.

The scanner grabs the top edge of the paper and automatically
begins to scan and feed the paper through the scanner.

SCAN USING AUTOLAUNCH 23

2. A scan progress window will open and the image is sent to the
selected application from the OneTouch utility. In the following
example, the destination software is the PaperPort desktop.

The item is scanned using predefined settings from the OneTouch
software. To change OneTouch settings, see “Selecting New
OneTouch Scan Settings” on page 34.

CHECK THE SCAN SETTINGS BEFORE SCANNING WITH AUTOLAUNCH

Press the button on the top of the scanner.

Note: You can also check the scan settings before scanning by clicking
the OneTouch icon, and then right-clicking on the PaperIn icon. See

TURN AUTOLAUNCH OFF/ON

In some instances, you may not want to use the scanner’s AutoLaunch
technology. In that case, you can turn it off so the scanner will not
automatically scan when you insert a document. Then, you can use the
TWAIN interface, or some other application’s interface for scanning.

You can turn the AutoLaunch technology off and on from either the
OneTouch icon, or from the Windows Control Panel.

only supports single pages, such as BMP or JPG.

46 VISIONEER ROADWARRIOR SCANNER USER’S GUIDE

IMAGE FORMATS

Select an image file format for photos, artwork or other documents that
you want to save as images. BMP and TIFF are standard image file
formats generally used if you want to do additional image processing,
such as photo touch-up or color correction. Both of those file formats
tend to be larger than the JPEG format.

Because JPEG image files can be reduced in size, the JPEG format is
often used for images on web pages, or if file size might be a problem
when electronically sending the files. JPEG files are reduced in size by
lowering their image quality, and you can select the degree of quality for
your scanned images from the JPEG file format icon.

The PDF format is often used to create images of text pages. You may
want to select PDF as the page format when scanning text pages that do
not require OCR processing or other processing. The PDF format is
also used to put multi-page documents on web sites as PDF-readable
files. As with the JPEG option, the PDF format can be reduced in size
or quality.

Note: The two other PDF formats—nPDF and sPDF—are for
scanning with OCR processing and with the ability to search the
scanned text. See the next section, “Text Formats,” and also “Scanning
with sPDF or nPDF and Searching for Text” on page 71 for details.

Maximum Quality—Largest file size, no loss of image quality.

Your selection pertains only to the Destination Application
currently selected on the OneTouch Properties window. Other

features, see “Scanning with Optical Character Recognition (OCR)” on
page 69.

Create copies of scanned documents—Sometimes the image of a
scanned document is only saved as a temporary file until its
Destination Application is finished using it. In those cases you may
want an additional, permanent copy saved on your hard drive.

For example, if you scan a picture to an email application, the
scanned image is saved as a temporary file, then attached to the
email, and the email is sent. Later, the temporary file of the scanned
picture is deleted. The same situation may occur when you scan
directly to a printer or scan to a fax application. After a scanned
item is printed or faxed, its temporary file is deleted. However, by
selecting this Create copies of scanned documents option, you
can choose to save permanent copies of the scanned items on your
hard drive.

The copies will be saved in the folder specified in the Folder Copy
Options section (see the figure on page 53 and the description
below).

By selecting the Fax and Print box and clicking the Create copies
of scanned documents option, every scanned document you fax or
print from the scanner is also saved as a permanent file on your hard
drive.

This option is not available if either the Document Management
or Storage and CD-R/W options are selected because, by default,
file copies for those types of Destination Applications are already
automatically saved in the folder for copies.

For that reason, this option is not available if the PaperPort software

Note that if Transfer to Storage is the Destination Application,
and the type of application is Storage and CD-R/W, the location
in this section is where your scanned documents are stored. When
you use the OneTouch 4.0 Burn to CD feature, the location is

5. Select scan settings for the new scan configuration.

Mode—Select a scanning mode:

■ Black&White to scan in black and white. For example, letters

and memos are usually scanned in black and white. This scan
mode produces the smallest file size.

■ GrayScale to scan items such as documents containing drawings

or black and white photographs. The scanning produces an
image of up to 256 shades of gray.

■ Color to scan color photographs and other color items. Color

scans have the largest file size.

Resolution—Drag the slider to the right or left to adjust the dots
per inch (dpi) of the resolution. The maximum resolution is 600
dpi; the minimum is 75 dpi. The higher the dpi setting, the sharper
and clearer the scanned image. However, higher dpi settings take
longer to scan and produce larger files for the scanned images.

Brightness and Contrast—Sometimes an item is scanned with the
brightness and contrast set too light or too dark. For example, a
note written with a light pencil may need to be scanned darker to
improve legibility.

Brightness refers to the lightness or darkness of the image. Contrast
is the range between the darkest and lightest portions of the image.
The greater the contrast, the more difference between the lighter
and darker shades in the image.

Drag the sliders to the right or left to adjust the brightness and
contrast of the scanned image. The Contrast setting does not apply
to the Black&White mode.

units of measurement can be inches or centimeters. Click the name
of the units, inches or centimeters, to toggle between them.

Improvements and Settings—Only the options that apply to the
selected Destination Application are available.

■ AutoCrop to Original—Select this option to let the scanner

automatically determine the size of the item being scanned. For
example, if you scan a 5" x 7" photo, the scanner will determine
the size of the photo.

When using the AutoCrop to Original option, make sure to use the
paper guides on the scanner so the page is inserted straight.

For single-sided scans, the scan area is the size of the image. For
double-sided scans, the scan area is the size of the larger of the
two areas on the front and back of the page.

Note: Also make sure to set the page size larger than the item that
you’re scanning so the Autocrop process will have sufficient room on
the page to crop the image properly.

■ Reduce Moire Patterns—Moire patterns are wavy, rippled lines

that sometimes appear on the scanned images of photographs or
illustrations, particularly newspaper and magazine illustrations.
Selecting Reduce Moire Patterns will limit or eliminate moire
patterns in the scanned image. This option is only available for
the GrayScale or Color Mode at 200dpi or less.

■ Straighten Image—Select this option to let the scanner

automatically determine if a page is skewed, and then straighten
its image. The scanner detects page edges and can sense when the
page is fed through at an angle. However, if the page is fed
through at too great an angle, the image may not scan correctly.
In that case, re-scan the page using the paper guides to feed the
paper in straight.

■ Invert Image—Only available for Black&White Mode, this

option reverses the black and whites of an image.

■ Skip Blank Originals—Skips pages that are completely blank.

Typically you use this option when you will scan a stack of two­sided pages which have a number of blank sides. This option is
only available for Duplex scanning.

■ Color Filter—Color filter is the ability of your scanner to

automatically remove a color from a scanned item. For example,
if you are scanning a letter with a red watermark, you can choose
to filter out the red so the scanned letter just shows the text and
not the red watermark. Color filter applies to Black&White or
GrayScale Mode.

SCANNING WITH OPTICAL CHARACTER RECOGNITION (OCR)

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is like a printer in reverse.
Instead of printing what’s on the screen onto paper, OCR converts text
and numbers on a scanned page into editable text and numbers. You can
then work with the text and numbers to edit, spell check, change font or
type size, sort, calculate, and so forth.

Note: For all OCR processing, use the original factory settings for
OCR scanning that came with your scanner. When scanning with
other settings, use at least 300 dpi for the resolution. If the original
documents are of poor quality and have a small type font, 400 dpi can
be used as the maximum resolution.

The OneTouch OmniPage Module or the OmniPage Pro software must
be installed on your computer in order to use the OCR options with the
OneTouch 4.0 software and your RoadWarrior™ scanner. OneTouch

4.0 and OmniPage work together to combine scanning with OCR
processing into one integrated step. The OneTouch OmniPage Module
was automatically installed when you installed your driver, the
OmniPage Pro software is on the Disc 2 CD that you received with your
scanner. The OneTouch OmniPage Module and the OmniPage
Software can both be installed on your computer at the same time,
however, the features in the OneTouch OmniPage Module will take
precedence over the OmniPage software features when using OneTouch

4.0. The “OneTouch OmniPage Mini-Guide” is available on the Disc 1
installation CD. Please refer to this Mini-Guide for instructions on
setting the advanced OCR options.

With the OneTouch OmniPage Module or OmniPage Pro software
installed, the OCR process is automatic when the page format on the
OneTouch Properties window is a text format, such as DOC, TEXT,
XLS, RTF, and so forth.

Note: If you have uninstalled the OneTouch OmniPage Module or
the OmniPage Pro software from your computer, items scanned as a
text format are still converted with the OCR process, however, the
options available with the process are then limited.

sPDF converts scanned text into the PDF format with text search and
OCR capabilities. nPDF has those same features, plus you can edit the
text in an nPDF image if you have a PDF editing program. These two
PDF formats can also produce images with different image quality, so
you may want to experiment with them to determine which is better for
your scanned documents.

To scan with sPDF or nPDF:

SCANNING FROM TWAIN SOFTWARE

You can scan from any TWAIN scanning application instead of
scanning using the OneTouch AutoLaunch feature or the OneTouch
Button Panel.

A NOTE ABOUT THE TWAIN STANDARD

Your scanner uses the TWAIN interface to scan photographs and
documents. TWAIN is a widely recognized standard that computers use
to receive images from scanners, digital cameras, and other digital
devices. The TWAIN scanning interface can be accessed from any
TWAIN scanning application you have installed on the computer.
Applications such as Nuance PaperPort and ArcSoft PhotoImpression,
which were provided with your scanner, and many other applications,
will use the TWAIN interface for scanning. This section specifically
describes how to use the features of the TWAIN interface for scanning,
however, the instructions in this section may use the PaperPort software
as an example only.

Refer to the User Guide you received with your other scanning
application for instructions on setting up that application to access the
TWAIN interface. As previously stated, the scanning method is the
same, but you will need to refer to your product's user guide for
instructions on how to access the scanner and how file handling works.

Instructions for setting up the PaperPort software to access the TWAIN
interface is provided in this User’s Guide.

SCANNING FROM TWAIN SOFTWARE 91

ACCESSING THE TWAIN INTERFACE

SCANNING FROM THE TWAIN INTERFACE

The TWAIN interface allows you to modify the scan settings for your
document.

The options on the Visioneer RoadWarrior™ TWAIN interface
are:

■ Mode—Select a scanning mode:

Black&White to scan in black and white. The scanning pixels
are all the same size and are either black or white. Use this
setting for letters, memos, and other black and white material.
This scan mode produces the smallest file size.

GrayScale to scan items such as documents containing
drawings or black and white photographs. The scanning
produces an image of up to 256 shades of gray. You can also
scan a color document to turn its colors into gray shades. The
file size is about one third that of a color scan.
