Installing

War ni ng : Do not plug in the USB cable until after you have
installed the software. Complete the installation steps in the order
described in the installation procedure below.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Please make sure of the following before you begin installation:

■ If your computer has AntiVirus or AntiSpyware software running,

you may see messages during installation asking you to allow the
installation to proceed. Although the messages will differ based on
the software your computer is running, in each case you should
allow the installation to proceed. Alternatively, you can turn off the
AntiVirus or AntiSpyware software before installing your scanner.
But if you do, make sure to turn it back on again when installation
is finished.

■ If you already have a scanner connected to your computer, you need

to remove its driver programs first before beginning the installation
of your Visioneer Strobe XP scanner. Please see “How to Uninstall
Your Scanner” on page 147 for basic instructions, or see the User’s
Guide that you received with your other scanner for specific
instructions.

■ The information in this guide may cover software not provided

with the scanner you purchased. Please disregard any information
about the software not applicable to your chosen product. Visit our
web site at www.visioneer.com for the latest software updates for
your scanner.

STEP 1: INSTALL THE SOFTWARE 13

STEP 1: INSTALL THE SOFTWARE

Note: You must install the software before connecting the scanner to
your computer. Otherwise, the correct driver software for your
scanner will not be installed and it may not work properly.

Note: If you intend to use the scanner with your laptop, as well as
your office computer, make sure to install the software on both
computers.

Note: For the Strobe XP 300 only: The software is on 2 CDs. Please
be sure to install from Disc 1 first. Disc 2 contains the OmniPage
software that you install after the scanner software.

To install the software:

1. Start Microsoft Windows and make sure no other applications are

running.

2. Insert the Installation CD into your computer’s CD-ROM drive.

For the Strobe XP 300 only: Insert Disc 1.

The CD automatically starts.

14 VISIONEER STROBE XP SCANNER USER’S GUIDE

Note:

If the CD does not start, check the following:

■ Make sure the CD drive’s door is completely shut.

■ Make sure the CD was inserted in the drive in the proper

direction (label side up).

To launch the CD manually:

■ Open the Windows option for My Computer. You can do this by

double-clicking on the

■ Double-click the icon for your CD-ROM drive.

■ The Installation menu for the CD should now open.

My Computer icon on your desktop.

If the menu does not open:

■ From the list of files on the CD, double-click the file named

START32.EXE.

When the CD starts, the Visioneer Installation window opens
automatically.

3. On the Installation Menu, select Install Products.

STEP 1: INSTALL THE SOFTWARE 15

The next window lists the software that is available to install on
your computer.

Reminder: The software available to install depends on the Visioneer
scanner you purchased. Therefore, you may see software options not
available with your scanner. Please disregard any software choices that
do not apply to your scanner.

4. Select ScanSoft PaperPort and Scanner Driver.

5. Click Install Now. The PaperPort software will load first.

6. The Select Language window opens for the PaperPort software.

Click the drop-down menu arrow and select the language you want
to use. Click OK.

The first PaperPort Installation window opens.

7. Follow the instructions on the PaperPort installation windows.

16 VISIONEER STROBE XP SCANNER USER’S GUIDE

8. When installation of PaperPort is finished, the Welcome to the

OneTouch 4.0 Setup Wizard opens.

9. Click Next.

10. On the Visioneer License Agreement window, read the license

agreement. If you accept the terms, select I Agree.
If you choose not to accept the license agreement, the installation

will terminate and the scanner driver will not be installed.

11. Click Next.

The next window lists the choices of the drivers that you can install
for your scanner.

STEP 1: INSTALL THE SOFTWARE 17

12. Select the option you want.

■ OneTouch 4.0 Scan Environment + TWAIN Driver—This is the

recommended installation. It installs the OneTouch 4.0 software
which provides the necessary driver software for the scanner. It also
installs scanning interfaces for TWAIN and Microsoft’s Windows
Image Acquisition (WIA). Installing this option means that you
can use several different methods to scan, as explained in this User
Guide.

■ TWAIN Driver—Only the TWAIN driver is installed. You will only

have access to the Strobe XP TWAIN driver and WIA. You will not
be able to use the OneTouch software.

WIA is only available if your

computer is running Windows XP.

Note: If you decide to change your scanner’s installed drivers later

on, you must first uninstall the drivers the scanner is currently using.
See the section “To Install Another Driver” on page 148.

18 VISIONEER STROBE XP SCANNER USER’S GUIDE

13. Click Next.

During installation you will see this window asking you to select
one of the images for your Color Space setting.

The Color Space setting sets the gamma value for the scanner so
scanned items look good on your monitor. Gamma controls the
brightness of the midtones of colors. That setting can be changed
later on as you’re scanning.

14. Select the option that looks best to you and click Next.

The driver installation will now begin.

STEP 1: INSTALL THE SOFTWARE 19

If you are installing the scanner on a Windows 2000 computer:
During the software installation, this “Digital Signature Not
Found” message may appear several times.

Each time this message appears, you can disregard it and click Yes .
This window opens asking you to select which Visioneer scanner

you are installing.

20 VISIONEER STROBE XP SCANNER USER’S GUIDE

15. Click the scanner that you are installing.

If you want to see more about the scanner before installing it, click
the Learn More button.

You will then see a window that explains how to connect the
scanner to your computer.

16. STOP when you see the “Complete the installation by connecting

your hardware” window. Do NOT click OK yet.
This sample shows the window for the Strobe XP 300. The

windows for the RoadWarrior, Strobe XP 100, and Strobe XP 200
are similar.

Reminder: If your computer is running AntiVirus or AntiSpyware
software, you may see messages asking you to allow installation. Select
the option to allow installation to proceed.
