About the One Touch Button Panel’s Names and Icons
The button names, such as PDF, eMail or Fax, indicate the original factory settings for a button. For example, the eMail button is set up to scan documents and then immediately attach them to a new eMail message in Microsoft Outlook Express. But you can change the name, the Destination Application, and any of the other aspects of the button.
A question mark for a button, such as shown for button 5 in the examples above, means your computer does not have appropriate software for the initial factory settings (Fax software in the example above). In that case, you would probably want to change the name and Destination Application to something else. For example, if you scan a lot of documents that have faint images, such as hand­drawn sketches in light pencil, you might want to change the button’s name to Sketches, and the Destination Application to Microsoft Paint, or some other drawing program.
See “Configuring the One Touch Buttons” on page 20 to change the settings of the buttons on the One Touch Button Panel.

NOTE: Some of the options on the One Touch Properties
Window (and other One Touch windows and dialog boxes) are “grayed out” and are not available. Grayed out options are not appropriate for your DocuMate 262 scanner. For example, on the figure below, the option “Use Document Feeder” is selected and “grayed out” because the DocuMate 262 is an ADF scanner and always uses the document feeder, so there’s no reason for you to select it. If you use the One Touch application with other Xerox scanners, grayed out options become active, if appropriate.
The following example of the One Touch window shows the settings for Button 2. The button is set to scan with the scan configuration named Color Document and then open ScanSoft PaperPort to display the scanned image. The Format and Page(s) option is set to scan in the PDF image format.

The Page Format options that you select determines the file format of the scanned document. Appropriate page format options and file types are available for the type of Destination Application selected for the button.
Scanning
The available options are for images and text.
The Text Formats are for text file types. The names of the formats indicate their file types. See “Text Formats” on page 33 for details.
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.
Image Formats Text Formats; sPDF is
only one of several text formats available.
DocuMate 262 Scanner User’s Guide 31
Scanning
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 page 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 53 for details.
To select a JPEG or PDF file size:
1. Select JPG or PDF as the page format.
2. Right-click on the JPG or PDF icon.
A menu appears.
3. Choose the file size/image quality option for your scanned images.
Minimize Size—Smallest file size, lowest image quality.
Normal—Medium file size, some loss of image quality.
Maximum Quality—Largest file size, no loss of image quality.
Your selection pertains only to the button currently selected on the One Touch Properties window. Other buttons that have JPG or PDF selected as the Page Format are not affected, so you can set the JPEG or PDF file size/image quality independently for each button.
4. Click OK or Apply on the One Touch Properties window.

Comma Delimited—The .csv file format; used for database or spreadsheet data with fields separated by commas. When the document is converted into editable text by the OCR software, the fields are maintained so you can copy and paste them to a database or spreadsheet application.
Excel Spreadsheet—The .xls file format used by Microsoft Excel.
HTML Document—The .htm file format used to create web pages.
Searchable PDF—The .sPDF file format used by Adobe Acrobat and OmniPage Pro 12. This format converts scanned text into PDF with text search and OCR capabilities. It is only available if you have installed OmniPage Pro 12 on your computer. See “Scanning with sPDF or nPDF and Searching for Text” on page 53 for details.
Normal PDF—The .nPDF file format used by Adobe Acrobat and OmniPage Pro 12. This format also converts scanned text into PDF with text search and OCR capabilities, plus you can edit the text in an nPDF image if you have a PDF editing program.

The Scan Configurations.
The Lock Icon.
Click New to create a new Scan Configuration.
Note the lock icon on the preset configurations. Although you can unlock and edit the preset configurations, we recommend that you leave them locked, and only add new configurations. That way, you will always have the original factory-set configurations available.
To create a new configuration:
1. Open the One Touch Properties window and make sure the Multi Function tab is selected.
2. Scroll through the applications in the Select Destination list and click the type of application for which you want to create a new scan configuration.
When you create a new scan configuration, it will appear for the buttons that are set for the same types of Destination Applications. For example, if you create a new configuration for a button that is set to show image editor applications, that new configuration also appears for any other buttons set for image editors, but not for buttons set for text editing applications. Thus, you can create specific sets of scan configurations for specific functions and they appear only when appropriate.
3. Click the New button.
If you want to start from the settings of another configuration, select the configuration, then click the Copy button.
If the Scan Settings tab is not selected, click it.

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 50 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.
DocuMate 262 Scanner User’s Guide 39
Scanning
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 the 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.

Touch buttons, there could be a conflict when you press the Simplex or Duplex button on the scanner. Regardless of the One Touch setting, the scanner button always takes precedence. In other words, even if the LED number on the scanner has a setting for Duplex, when you press the Simplex scanner button the scanner scans in Simplex mode, and vice versa.
Skip Blank Originals—Skips pages that are completely
blank. Typically you use this option when you will scan a stack of two-sided 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 text and numbers onto the screen, that is, editable text and numbers. You can then work with the text and numbers to edit, spellcheck, change font or type size, sort, calculate, and so forth.
You must have installed the OmniPage Pro 12 software on your computer in order to use OCR with the One Touch software and your DocuMate 262 scanner. One Touch and OmniPage Pro 12 work together to combine scanning with OCR processing into one integrated step. OmniPage Pro 12 is on the Disc 2 CD that you received with your scanner in case you haven’t installed it yet.
If OmniPage Pro 12 is installed, the OCR process is automatic when the page format on the One Touch Properties window is a text format, such as DOC, TEXT, XLS, RTF, and so forth.
NOTE: One Touch Button 6 is preset as your OCR button. But
you can also set up any other button to scan and OCR the text.
To scan with OCR:
1. To scan using the buttons on the scanner, press the Destination Selector until the LED is at 6, then press the Simplex or Duplex button.
46 DocuMate 262 Scanner User’s Guide

2. To scan from the One Touch Button Panel, click the One Touch icon in the Windows system Tray, click the arrows to see Button 6, then click Button 6.
Click the arrows until Button 6 is on the panel, then click Button 6.
Your scanned pages appear in the Destination Application with their text ready for editing and other text processing.
NOTE: OCR scanning is also for spreadsheets so you can work
in Microsoft Excel (or other spreadsheet application) with the figures and text from the original spreadsheets.
Selecting OCR Options
The OCR Options are only available if you have installed OmniPage Pro 12 on your computer.
NOTE: OCR options apply globally to all the One Touch buttons
that perform OCR. For example, Button 6 is set by default to OCR text, but Button 8 is not. If you reconfigure Button 8 to also OCR text, the OCR options you select for Button 8 will also apply to Button 6.
To select OCR options:
1. Open the One Touch Properties window.
2. Using the arrows, choose a button that has Destination Applications that use the text format as their file type.
3. Select the Destination Application to get one of the text format file types as the page format.
4. Right-click on the page format icon to see the menu.

To create a user dictionary, click the button next to the menu arrow. Click New, type a name for the dictionary, and click OK. Click Close and then choose your new dictionary from the list. It will be used during the OCR process. You add words to a dictionary during the proofreading process. To turn on the proofreading process for your scanned documents, see the OmniPage Pro 12 documentation.
Professional Dictionaries—These are legal and medical dictionaries containing highly specialized words and phrases. The options are: Dutch Legal, Dutch Medical, English Legal, English Medical, French Legal, French Medical, German Legal, and German Medical. Click the checkbox next to a dictionary name to select it.
Reject Character—This is the character that the OCR process inserts for an unrecognizable text character. For example, if the OCR process cannot recognize the J in REJECT, and ~ is the reject character, the word would appear as RE~ECT in your document. The ~ is the default reject character.
Type the character you want to use in the Reject character box. Try to choose a character that will not appear in your documents.
Font Matching—Your computer system usually has a number of fonts available for the OCR process to use to recognize text. However, not all of the fonts may be selected for the OCR process. Using Font Matching you can select the fonts on your computer that match the fonts in your documents.

Scanning
Automatic—Choose this option to let the OCR process determine the layout of the pages. It is the fastest type of format processing. Typically you select this option when the document has different or unknown types of layouts, pages with multiple columns and a table, or pages containing more than one table. The OCR process will then determine if text is in columns, an item is a graphic or text, and tables are present.
Single Column no Table—Choose this option if the document contains only one column of text and no tables. Business letters are normally in this form. You can also use this option for documents with words or numbers in columns if you do not want them placed in a table or decolumnized or treated as separate columns.
Multiple Columns, no Table—Choose this option if some document pages contain text in columns and you want it kept in separate columns, similar to the original layout. If table-like data is encountered, it is placed in columns, not in a gridded table.
Single Column with Table—Choose this option if your document contains only one column of text and a table. The table will be placed in a grid in the text editing application you have selected. You can later specify whether to export it in a grid or as tab-separated text columns.
Spreadsheet—Choose this option if the entire document consists of a table that you want to export to a spreadsheet program, or have treated as a table. No flowing text or graphics zones will be detected.
Templ ate —If you created a zone template in OmniPage Pro 12, choose a zone template file to have its background value, zones and zone properties applied to all OCR scanned pages from now on.
No Formatting (NF)—The document will be plain text, decolumnized and left-aligned in a single font and font size. You can export plain text to nearly all file types and target applications, and graphics, tables and bullets can be retained. When exporting to Text or Unicode file types, graphics and tables are not supported.
Retain Fonts and Paragraphs (RFP)—This output format retains the font and paragraph styling, including graphics and tables without columnized text. This output format is available for nearly all file types.
Flowing Page (FP)—This format keeps the original layout of the pages, including columns. This is done wherever possible with column and indent settings, but not with text boxes or frames. Text will then flow from one column to the other, which does not happen when text boxes are present.
52 DocuMate 262 Scanner User’s Guide
True Page (TP)—This output format keeps the original layout of the pages, including columns. This is done with text, picture and table boxes and frames. True page is offered only for target applications capable of handling the formatting. True Page formatting is the only choice for XML export and for all PDF export, except to the file type “PDF Edited”.
