Scan
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.
Preparing Documents for Scanning
•Fan the documents to make sure all pages in the stack are separated.
•Bend and then flatten the document stack to make sure the horizontal edges are aligned to help prevent
paper from skewing while being pulled through the scanner.
•Pinch the ends to align the leading edges slantwise to help prevent multiple pages from being fed through at
a single time.

Documents to Avoid Scanning
The documents in this list can be scanned, but please note that scanning documents of this type will reduce the
life of the scanner. Maintenance will be required more often and replaceable parts will wear faster. These types
of documents will jam more frequently and damage to the original documents may occur. If you do choose to
scan these document types, do not scan large batches. This type of use is not covered under the scanner warranty
and alters replacement parts life expectancy.
We recommend you limit the amount or completely avoid scanning documents that are in this list.
•Curled, wrinkled or folded documents may cause paper jams or multiple pages being fed through the scanner
at one time.
•Perforated or punched paper that could tear when the separation roller engages.
•Coated paper or photographs where the coating can flake off during scanning and leave residue in the
scanner.
•Extremely smooth, shiny, or highly textured paper may cause the paper feed rollers to slip across the page
and cause the scanner to report a paper jam.
•Carbonless copy paper may tear while being fed through the scanner and the pressure of the rollers may
leave streaks on the page. The chemical coating on this paper will rub off on the rollers during the scan
process, increasing the frequency of miss-feeds and paper jams.
•Partially transparent paper such as tracing paper as any images from the opposite side of the page or black
background will appear in the scanned images.

Do not scan the following types of documents as they may cause damage to the scanner.
•Items outside of the specified supported sizes, thickness, and weight defined in this document.
•Non-rectangular or irregularly shaped paper will cause the scanner to detect and report document skew
errors or paper jams.
•Carbon paper that will leave residue in the scanner and on the rollers that will transfer to the next set of

Select the Paper Feeding Options
There are paper feed options that you can adjust using the scanner control panel. Adjust these options based on
the type of documents you are scanning.
Hopper—the up and down arrows adjust the height of the input tray based on the
amount of paper in the input tray. The scanner will automatically raise the tray during

ADF—this button changes the scanner from automatic feeding (first option) to manual
feeding (second option). When automatic feeding is selected, the scanner
automatically raises the input tray during scanning. When manual feeding is selected,
the input tray is raised to the top for feeding one page, or stacks of very few pages, at a
time. When you are using a scanning interface with a manual feed mode option, switch
the scanner to manual feed mode as well.
Thickness—this option adjusts how close the rollers are to each other. Tap this button

Scanned documents can be exited to the output tray in the front of the scanner or to the straight path tray in the
back of the scanner. The paper path is automatically switched when the straight path is opened or closed.
Note: follow these guidelines when using the straight path tray.
•Use the straight path tray when you have set the paper thickness level to thick and documents being
scanned are from 0.2 to 0.6 mm (7.9–23.6 mils).
•Make sure there is enough space in the back of the scanner for the paper to exit.

Configuring OneTouch
Based on the recommended full installation of the scanner driver and the Visioneer OneTouch software,
OneTouch is your main scanning interface for using the scanner.
The OneTouch Button Panel, that you see on the computer screen, shows the pre-set function for each button
(such as Email) and the icon of the destination (called the Destination Application) where the images will be
sent when scanning is finished.
Default OneTouch Settings
When you installed the scanner, the software configured each OneTouch button with appropriate settings
consisting of: a Destination Application, a Scan Configuration, and a File Format. The button names, such as
Email or Copy, indicate the original factory settings for a button. You can change any of these settings. Please see
Changing the Button Settings on page 31 for instructions.
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 means that the button is set up to archive the scanned item. The scanner sends the
scanned image directly to a folder without opening the image first in a software application.
A question mark for a button means your computer does not have the appropriate software or hardware for the
initial factory settings.

images of photographs or illustrations, particularly newspaper and magazine illustrations. Selecting Reduce
moiré patterns will limit or eliminate moiré patterns in the scanned image. This option is only available when
scanning in Color or Grayscale at lower resolutions, and when the scanner supports this feature.
If you are scanning using an Automatic Document Feeder, and the page is fed through at too great of an
angle, the image may not straighten correctly. In that case, re-scan the page using the paper guides to feed
the paper in straight.
•Invert image—reverses the color of each pixel in the scanned image.
When scanning in black and white, each pixel is reversed from black to white and white to black. When
scanning in grayscale each pixel is reversed to the opposite level of gray. When scanning in color each pixel is
reversed to the opposite color in the color wheel.
For example, you might choose this option if you are scanning pages that have been printed from newspaper
microfilm. Newspaper microfilm reverses black and white so that when viewed on a monitor, the text is white
and the paper is black.

otherwise the redaction may not occur in the correct area.
•If Color dropout is selected, redaction occurs after the color specified is removed from the image.
For example, if you selected Red as the color dropout, but then specify red for the redaction region, the final
image will have the redacted region filled with gray when scanning Grayscale, or black or white when
scanning in Black&White.
File Formats
The available file formats, in the Select format panel, are based on the selected destination for scanning. For
example, if scanning to the destination Transfer to Storage, all file formats are available as the files are saved
directly to a folder without opening any application. If the destination is an application, such as Microsoft’s Paint,
only the file types the application supports will be available in the Select format panel.

TEXT is only one
of several text

The format names in the Select format panel indicates the file type extension for the scanned file.
Create Single Image Files
The TIFF and PDF formats, as well as the text file formats, support multiple page documents in a single file. If you
are scanning as a TIFF or PDF format, or as one of the text formats, and want one file created for each image
scanned, select Create single image files. Note that this option is automatically selected and disabled if you
have selected a format that only supports single pages, such as BMP, PNG, GIF, or JPG.
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.

Right-click on the BMP icon to access the GIF and PNG image formats. When you select either of these formats,
the format panel will change the BMP icon to the selected image format icon.
BMP—the *.bmp (bitmap) format is generally used when you want to do additional
image processing, such as photo touch-up or color correction, as very little image
compression is used when creating the file. When scanning in color or grayscale, BMP
scans result in the largest file size of the image formats.
GIF—the *.gif (graphics interchange format) format is generally used when putting
images on a website or server, as image compression can reduce the file size by
approximately 95% when compared to a BMP file of the same image. Company logos
and small pictures on a webpage are often GIF images. The GIF compression, and
limited color range, can result in the medium and large images looking grainy or
pixilated.
PNG—the *.png (portable network graphics) format is another common image format
for website graphics. Like GIF, the PNG compression greatly reduces the file size when
compared to a BMP file of the same image. However, the PNG compression is different
from GIF compression in that PNG images look better when scaled. Therefore, PNG is
often used in place of GIF for company logos with a lot of detail, clickable buttons,
medium sized pictures, and so on.
TIFF—the *.tif (tagged image file format) format is another image type that is often
used for photo editing. When scanning in color, it produces a file of similar quality and
size to a BMP file. However, when scanning in Black & White, the TIF compression
produces the smallest file size of all the image types without losing image quality. TIFF
also supports multi-page image files.
JPG—the *.jpg (joint photographic experts group) format is a common image format
for transferring pictures electronically, such as posting to a website or sending via email,
as JPG image files are smaller than BMP and TIFF files. You can change the level of
compression for the picture file to have better quality or a smaller file size.
To select a JPEG file size:
1.Select JPG as the page format.
2.Right-click on the JPG icon.
A menu opens.

Right-click on the PDF format icon to change the image quality or select the option to make the scanned PDF file
PDF-A compliant.
PDF—the *.pdf (portable document format) image format is often used to create
images of text pages. The image compression of PDF files creates relatively small file
sizes when scanning multiple page files in color. While the TIFF image format also
supports multiple page files, when scanning in color the TIFF files are often too large to
be transferred electronically. The PDF file format is often used for posting multiple
page files to websites, sending via email, and permanent storage. As with the JPG file
format, you can change the PDF quality to reduce the file size or improve the image
quality.

Adobe
Reader®, or other PDF viewer software, must be installed on your computer for

Because the destination configuration is done through the scan configuration, you can set each configuration to
scan to a different FTP server, destination folder, and so on. This is the same process used as when scanning to
different folders using the Transfer to Storage destination, as described in detail starting on page 53.

The OneTouch Link Log Viewer opens automatically when scanning is complete. Click on the menu arrow next to
View logs for and select FTP Link Agent from the list to display the transfer history for the FTP link only.
Double-click on any of the line items to open the selected log file in the Log File Detail View. If you open a failed
transfer, the log file may contain the information you need to determine why the transfer failed. After you
address the failure indicated in this log file, you can click the Retry button to resend the document to the server.
Click on the Properties button to open the Log Viewer from the FTP OneTouch Link Properties window. There are
no global configuration properties for the FTP destination application, all configuration is done using the Scan

SMTP
The SMTP destination link allows scans to be sent directly to an email address, through an SMTP server, from
OneTouch. Please contact your server administrator for the server information you need to configure this link.
Alternatively, have your site administrator or IT professional configure this link for you. Configuration of the
SMTP server settings and user accounts is outside the scope of this document.
Supported file types—all image and text file formats, except HTML, are available when scanning to an SMTP
server. Note that text file formats are only available if an OCR module or application is installed. Please refer to
Tex t For m at s on page 47 to see a list of text file formats that are available when OCR is installed.
Destination type—the SMTP destination is classified as a “Email Link”. To make it available in the destination
list, you must select Email on the Options tab in the OneTouch Properties window.
All configuration of the SMTP server is done using the SMTP Settings tab in the Scan Configuration Properties
window.
1.Select SMTP as the destination application.
2.Open the Scan Configuration you want to modify for scanning to an SMTP server, or create a new Scan
Configuration.
Select an existing configuration in which you have already specified your SMTP server information, and then
click on the Copy button to create a new configuration using the settings of the current configuration.

•Host—input the internet or intranet path of the server where you want to send the scanned documents. For
example, smtp.company.com
•Port—input which port to use with the selected protocol. Changing the selected protocol will reset this value
to the appropriate default for the protocol.
•User account—input the user account name that has privileges to send email messages through the SMTP
server.
•Password—input the password for the user account name you specified.
•Use Windows Integrated Authentication—Select this option to use the Windows current user’s login name
and password to send the message through the SMTP server.
•Email to—input a valid recipient email address to receive the scanned document. If it is not a valid address
the transfer will fail.
•Email from—input the email address you want to appear in the email message “from” field.
•Limit (MB)—input the maximum message size limit set on the SMTP server. This number should be lower
than or match the SMTP server maximum. You cannot send messages that exceed the maximum message
size of the SMTP server.
Because the destination configuration is done through the scan configuration, you can set each configuration to
scan to a different SMTP server, send messages to different email addresses, using different user credentials, and
so on. This is the same process used as when scanning to different folders using the Transfer to Storage
destination, as described in detail starting on page 53.

Scanning with Job Separation
Use job separation to have OneTouch create a new file each time a separator is detected when scanning a
multiple page batch. For example, if you want to scan financial statements from several different banks, you can
place a stack of statements in the scanner and OneTouch will separate each statement into a different file based
on your selected job separator.
1.Open the OneTouch Properties window.

file created when scanning is complete.
When you are scanning in Duplex mode, both sides of the page must be blank for this job separation option
to work.

–Sensitivity—you can adjust the sensitivity level of the blank page detection. For instance, depending on
the paper weight, color mode, or image processing options selected, you might get varying results.
Changing the sensitivity level allows you to fine-tune the accuracy of the blank page detection.
When the number of images reaches—input the maximum number of images you want in the scanned file.
The scanner will create a new file each time that number is reached.
When you are scanning in Duplex mode, the number of images captured is double the number of pages in
the scanner. For example, if you are scanning 12 double-sided pages it is counted as 24 images. If you want
the stack split in half, the number of images reached would be 12.
7.When you are done making changes, click on OK to save the changes and close the window.
8.Place your documents in the scanner and start scanning.
When scanning is finished, each file will be sent to the destination location or application you have selected on
the button tab.

•When Instant delivery is also selected on the Options tab, each file will be sent as it is created.
The options on the Page Settings tab, in the Scan Configuration Properties window will affect the job separation
options as described below:
Skip blank originals
•The Sensitivity you set for this feature is the one that is used when scanning. The sensitivity level you set in
the Options tab will be ignored.
•When you are scanning in Simplex mode and the selected job separator is When a blank page is detected,
the job separation occurs first and a new file will be created each time a blank page is detected. If you want
a single file created with the blank page discarded, deselect the job separation feature on the Options tab.
Note that when scanning Duplex, both sides of the page must be blank for the job separation to occur. If
both sides of a scanned page are blank, the job separation occurs first and a new file will be created each
time a blank page is detected. If you want a single file created with the blank page discarded, deselect the
job separation feature on the Options tab or remove the blank page from your scanning batch.
•If you select When the number of images reaches, and input a number in the control box, any blank pages
will be discarded first, and then the number of images scanned will be counted. For example, if you scan 12
pages and 3 are blank, the total number of images counted for the job separation will be 9 not 12.

Scanning with Optical Character Recognition
(OCR)
Optical Character Recognition (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: Xerox recommends that 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 or have a small type font,
400 dpi can be used as the maximum resolution.
The OneTouch OmniPage Module must be installed on your computer in order to use the OCR options with the
OneTouch software and your Xerox scanner. The OneTouch OmniPage Module was automatically installed when
you installed your driver from the installation disc.
Note: Some of the illustrations in this section may not look exactly as they appear on your
computer’s screen. The differences are minor and do not affect the steps to use the new
features.
To sca n w it h O CR :
1.Open the OneTouch Properties window.
2.Select a text editing program in the Select Destination list, then select a text file format in the Select format panel.
For example, if you want to edit your document in Microsoft’s WordPad, select that application then choose
a file format such as TEXT or RTF.
3.Click on OK to save the changes and close the OneTouch Properties window.
4.Press or click the OneTouch button you set to scan with OCR.
Your scanned pages appear in the Destination Application with the text ready for editing and other text
processing.
