Before You Begin

Installation

Installation is a quick, four-step process:

1. Assemble the scanner

2. Install the software

3. Connect the power supply

4. Connect the USB cable and turn on the power

Please make sure of the following before you begin installation:

• The information in this guide may cover software not provided with the scanner you purchased. Disregard any information about the software not applicable to your chosen product. Please visit our web site at www.xeroxscanners.com for the latest software updates for your Xerox DocuMate 520 scanner.

• 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, it is recommended that you remove that scanner’s driver program prior to installing your Xerox DocuMate 520 scanner. While in some cases you can configure your computer to have another manufacturer’s scanner operational on your computer in conjunction with the Xerox DocuMate 520 scanner, we do not recommend this configuration as you may lose some of the driver functionality on one, or both of the units. You can remove these programs from the Windows Add/Remove programs list. Please refer to the user manual provided with your other scanner hardware for instructions about removing the driver and software for that unit.

Installing this option means that you can use several different methods to scan, as explained in this User Guide.

• TWAIN and ISIS—The TWAIN and ISIS drivers are

installed. The One Touch 4.0 Monitor will not run and you cannot use the One Touch features. You can use the Xerox DocuMate 520 TWAIN driver to scan from applications with a TWAIN interface. You can also scan from applications that use the ISIS driver. You will not be able to scan with the buttons on the scanner.

One Touch 4.0 software or the ISIS driver. You can use the Xerox DocuMate 520 TWAIN driver to scan from TWAIN applications. You will not be able to scan with the buttons on the scanner.

• ISIS only—The ISIS driver is installed. You can use

applications that use the ISIS driver such as Kofax and QuickScan. The One Touch 4.0 Monitor will not run and you cannot use the One Touch features. You will not be able to use the Xerox DocuMate 520 TWAIN driver. You also will not be able to scan with the buttons on the scanner.

NOTE: If you decide to change the 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 134.

Step 4: Connect the USB Cable and Turn on the Power

The DocuMate 520 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.

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. Connection to a USB 2.0 High Speed port provides optimum performance, however your scanner will also connect to a USB 1.1 port.

USB

The USB symbol, as seen in the above diagram, 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.

You can also connect the scanner to a USB port on the computer’s keyboard if it has one, or to a USB hub. 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 to the left of the power port.

The status light comes on and flashes indicating that the scanner is receiving power.

If you are using Windows XP Service Pack 2, 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-HI-SPEED 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.

Your computer then recognizes that a scanner has been plugged into the USB port and automatically loads the appropriate software to run the scanner.

Do not proceed until you receive a message that your computer has found the new hardware, or updated the driver database. If your computer is running Windows XP, you will see the following message.

About the One Touch Button Panel’s Names and Icons

The names on the One Touch Button Panel correspond to the scanner buttons and indicate their original factory settings. But you can change the Destination Application and any other settings of a button.

The eMail button is set up to scan documents then immediately attach them to a new email message in your default eMail program. If you don’t have an email program on your computer, the button will have a question mark as its icon.

The Copy button is set up to send the scanned image directly to your computer’s printer, copier, or fax machine without opening the scanned image in an application. This essentially means you can use your scanner as if it is a copier.

The Scan button is pre-configured to scan your documents in the PDF format then open them in the PaperPort application that you received with your scanner. You can then use the features of PaperPort to work with the image.

Scanning

If you want to use another application to work with your scanned images you can change the Destination Application and settings of a button. For example, if you scan a lot of documents that have faint images, such as hand-drawn sketches in light pencil, you might want to change the Destination Application to Microsoft Paint®, or some other drawing program.

A special pre-configured setting for your scanner is the Transfer to Storage option, indicated by the folder icon on the Button Panel. This option is designed for archiving documents. When you scan with Transfer to Storage as the Destination Application, the scanner sends the scanned image directly to the default folder at

C:\Documents and Settings\<your user name>\My Documents\My One Touch Archive\PDF Documents without

first opening it in an application. The file will be named with the current date. Initially, none of the three scanner buttons are assigned this setting, but if you want to use the scanner for archiving documents, you can easily choose this pre-configured setting for a button.

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 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 72 for details.

To select a JPEG or PDF file size:

1. Select JPG or PDF as the format.

2. Right-click on the JPG or PDF icon.

A menu opens.

48 DocuMate 520 Scanner User’s Guide

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 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.

Text Formats

Selecting the text format option also selects OCR processing as an automatic step for scanning. Therefore, when you scan a document with the text format selected, the text portions of the document are automatically converted to editable text. See “Scanning with Optical Character Recognition (OCR)” on page 65.

Scanning

Select a text format for documents with text or numbers, such as a business letter, report, or spreadsheet. The text format icon has several file formats available, depending on the Destination Application you select.

• Image Editors include Microsoft Paint and other drawing

and graphics applications.

• Text Editors include Microsoft Word and WordPad,

Microsoft Excel, and other word processing and spreadsheet applications. Select this option if you want OCR processing to convert your scanned documents to text that you can edit. See “Scanning with Optical Character Recognition (OCR)” on page 65 for more about OCR.

• PDF applications are for documents scanned to the PDF

format.

• Email includes Microsoft Outlook and other email

applications. See “eMail Properties” on page 46 for details about attaching scanned documents to your email messages.

• Storage and CD-R/W is for either storing scanned

documents in a folder, or sending them to a CD burner to create a CD containing the scanned documents. See “Transferring Scanned Documents to Storage” on page 81 and “Scan and Burn to a CD” on page 74 for details.

• Fax and Print is for sending your scanned documents

directly to your printer or fax software for faxing.

• Sti event forwarding is for using another application’s

interface for scanning. The One Touch Event Forwarding dialog box opens so you can select which application to use to continue scanning. See “Scanning with Event Forwarding” on page 77 for details.

4. After selecting a new category for the Destination Applications, click the tab of the button you’re working with to see which applications are added to the list. For example, if you selected new categories for the Scan button, click its tab at the top of the window.

Show Progress Window—Select this option to display the progress window of the document(s) during scanning.

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 or may not 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.

DocuMate 520 Scanner User’s Guide 53

Scanning

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 and description below).

This option is not available if either Document Management or Storage and CD-R/W 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 Destination Application is PaperPort because it is a Document Management application.

Likewise, the option is not available if the Destination Application is set as Transfer to Storage because it uses

Storage and CD-R/W software.

Folder Copy Options—This section of the dialog box sets the

location for copies of your scanned documents and how you want to group them.

Click the Browse button and find the folder for the copies. Select the grouping option for the documents. The Group by button option groups the documents under the name of the One Touch button. Group by type arranges the scanned documents by the type of file, such as .doc or .jpg. If you also want to group them by date you can choose the week and month options.

The following example shows the folders when the selections are Group items by type and Group items by month.

The scan configurations are where you select the scanning resolution, brightness, mode (color, black&white, or grayscale), and a number of other settings.

Scanning

Click the tab of the button to have the new configuration.

The Scan Configurations.

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.

When you create a new scan configuration, it will be listed 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 is also listed 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 are listed only when appropriate.

To create a new configuration:

1. Open the One Touch Properties window and click the tab of the button to have the new configuration.

2. Scroll through the applications in the Select Destination list and click the application you want for the new scan configuration.

3. Click the New button.

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. This mode 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.

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.

DocuMate 520 Scanner User’s Guide 57

Scanning

When using the AutoCrop to Original option with the Automatic Document Feeder, make sure to adjust the paper guides on the scanner so the page is not skewed when it feeds into the scanner. Skewed pages may not crop 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 300dpi or less.

• Straighten Image—Select this option to let the scanner

automatically determine if a page is skewed, 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 straighten correctly. In that case, rescan 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.

Look for facing pages—Select this option if you want to scan two facing pages of an open book in one step, and then to recognize and store them as two separate pages (as if they had come from two separate scannings).

User interface language—Click the drop-down arrow and select the language to use on the OmniPage windows. The available languages may differ for different parts of the world.

7. Click the Format tab and choose the options you want from the Format window.

Note that as you select formats, the image changes to represent the selection so you can see, at a glance, what the layout will look like.

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.

70 DocuMate 520 Scanner User’s Guide

Scanning

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, 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.

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.

8. When you’re finished selecting the OCR options, click OK on the Options window.

These options will now apply to the OCR processing when you select any scan button with a text format as the page format.

Scanning with sPDF or nPDF and Searching for Text

Searchable PDF (sPDF) and Normal PDF (nPDF) are special forms of an Adobe PDF file. 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.The 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. sPDF and nPDF are only available as format options if you have installed OmniPage Pro on your computer.

NOTE: If you did not install the OmniPage Pro software as part

of the scanner installation, and you choose to install it at this time, you may have to restart your computer before the sPDF and nPDF formats are available in the One Touch software.

To scan with sPDF or nPDF:

1. Open the One Touch Properties window.

2. Click the Scan button, or one of the other buttons if its Destination Application uses the text format as its page format.

3. Right-click on the text format icon.

This sample shows the menu when the Destination Application is Transfer to Storage. The menu for other Destination Applications, such as PaperPort, do not have as many options.

4. Choose the Searchable PDF or Normal PDF option for the format.

NOTE: Not all Destination Applications have the sPDF and

nPDF options. Microsoft Word, for example, does not have them as scanning options.

5. Choose a Scan Configuration.

6. Click OK.

The One Touch Properties window closes.

7. Now scan with that button and the scanned document will be in the sPDF or nPDF format you selected.

8. To search for the text, open Adobe Acrobat Reader or Adobe Acrobat.

9. From the Adobe Acrobat File menu choose Open. Open the file you just scanned, then from the Edit menu choose Find.

10. On the Find dialog box, enter the text to find, then click Find.

Scan and Burn to a CD

If you have a CD burner attached to your computer, you can scan directly from your scanner onto a CD. This feature is available only on computers running Windows XP.

To scan and burn to a CD:

1. Put a blank CD into your computer’s CD Drive.

2. Open the One Touch Properties window.

3. Click the Copy button tab, or other button if you’ve set it up to scan and burn to a CD.

4. Select Burn to CD as the Destination Application.

The Burn to CD Destination Application is only available if you have a CD burner attached to your computer, but you do not need to have a CD in the burner to select the destination.

5. Choose a Format and a Scan Configuration.

6. Click OK.

The One Touch Properties window closes.

7. Now start scanning using the button you selected to use to scan and burn to CD.

When scanning is finished, a bubble message on the screen tells you that files are waiting to be burned to the CD.

8. Open the One Touch window and make sure that the Burn to

CD Destination Application is still selected and click the Properties button.

74 DocuMate 520 Scanner User’s Guide

The One Touch 4.0 Link Properties window opens.

9. Make sure a CD is in the CD burner.

Scanning

10. Click the Burn to CD button.

The CD burner begins and your scanned documents are written to the CD.

NOTE: Until you click Burn to CD these files are stored in your

computer at C:\Documents and Settings\<your user name>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CD Burning. This is where Windows XP stores all files waiting to be

burned to a CD by the automatic CD writing wizard. If other files are also waiting in this location, they will get written with the One Touch files on the CD.

DocuMate 520 Scanner User’s Guide 75

Scanning

NOTE: When scanning items to burn to a CD, you should

always use one of the factory-set default configurations, or a custom configuration specifically set up for CD burning. The default configurations are already set up to send the scanned images to the proper storage location where the Windows XP CD writing wizard can find the files to burn to the CD. Likewise, when you create a custom configuration for CD burning, the One Touch software will automatically make sure the storage location is correct.

To create a custom configuration for CD burning, select Burn to CD as the Destination Application, then click the New button and create the new configuration. You won’t need to select a storage location because it will be correctly preset for you by the One Touch software.

Note however, that if you have created other custom configurations with different storage locations (for example, see “Scanning to Multiple Folders” on page 82), do not use them for the Burn to CD Destination Application. Otherwise, the Windows XP CD writing wizard will not be able to find the images to burn onto the CD.

76 DocuMate 520 Scanner User’s Guide

Scanning with Event Forwarding

If you want to specify an application to use for scanning at the start of the process, you can use event forwarding. The scanner will feed in the first page, but will then stop until you select the application to use. After you select the application, its interface will open and you can use it to continue with the scanning.

To scan with event forwarding:

1. Open the One Touch Properties window.

2. Click the button that you want to use for event forwarding.

If none of the buttons have Still Image Client as a Destination Application, click the Options tab, select Sti event forwarding, then click Apply and click the tab of the button again.

3. Select Still Image Client as the Destination Application.

Note that you cannot choose a format for this option because the actual Destination Application is not selected until after the scanner feeds in the first page of your document.

Creating an HTML Web Page from Your Scanned Documents

If you scan a document, whether a single page or multiple pages, you can have the pages converted directly to HTML formatted pages for posting directly to your web site. Those pages are then viewable by visitors to your web site without the need for any internet plug-ins or other special processing. This is, essentially, from your scanner to a web-ready format in one automatic step.

To scan and create an HTML web page:

1. Open the One Touch Properties window.

2. Click a button that has Microsoft Explorer as one of its Destination Applications.

If none of the buttons have Microsoft Explorer as a Destination Application, click the Options tab, select Text editing applications (i.e. Word), then click Apply and click the tab of the button again.

Scanning

3. Select Microsoft Explorer as the Destination Application.

4. Choose HTML as the Format.

Transferring Scanned Documents to Storage

With the Transfer to Storage scanning process, you can scan documents and save them in a folder in one step. The process is ideal for archiving documents without having to manually save or process them in any other way. If you choose a text format for the file format, the documents are also automatically converted by the OCR process into editable text and numbers before being stored.

1. Open the One Touch Properties window.

2. Click a button that has Transfer to Storage as one of its Destination Applications.

If none of the buttons have Transfer to Storage as a Destination Application, click the Options tab, select the option Storage and CD-R/W, then click Apply and click the tab of the button again.

3. Select Transfer to Storage as the Destination Application.

4. Choose a text format as the Format if you want the OCR process to convert scanned text to editable text.

Scanning

Choose a text format to have the OCR process convert text to editable text before the scanned documents are stored in their archive location.

The One Touch Properties window closes.

Your scanned pages are stored in the location that you specified on the One Touch 4.0 Link Properties window.

Your scanned documents will be stored at the location you specified on the One Touch 4.0 Link Properties window.

NOTE: The Storage Location shown in the example above is

the default place where your scanned documents are stored if you haven’t created any new scanning configurations or selected a new storage location. If you create a new scan configuration that has its own storage location and you use that configuration to scan, your scanned documents will be stored at the new location instead of the default. See the next section, “Scanning to Multiple Folders,” for examples of setting up new storage locations.

Scanning to Multiple Folders

When archiving documents with the Transfer to Storage option, you can scan them to multiple folders. For example, one folder might be for “Business Receipts,” a second folder might be for “Personal Receipts,” and a third folder might be for “Annual Receipts.”

To scan to multiple folders, you create multiple configurations, each with a different storage location for the scanned documents. Scan one set of documents using the scan configuration with the appropriate storage location for that set. Then switch to another scan configuration and scan the next set of documents to store them in their folder.

Scanning with the TWAIN Interface from PaperPort

Instead of using the scanner buttons or the One Touch Button Panel to scan, you can also scan from the TWAIN interface. The PaperPort application that you received with your scanner provides access to the TWAIN interface. This scanning method is particularly helpful when you’re already using PaperPort to file and save scanned items, or if you want to adjust scan settings prior to scanning.

A Note About Your Scanner and the TWAIN standard: TWAIN is a widely recognized procedure that software applications use to receive images from scanners, digital cameras, and other digital devices. The PaperPort software that you received with your scanner uses the TWAIN standard, and this guide shows how to scan with it. But you can also open the same TWAIN interface from many other graphics and imaging applications and scan from them as well. Because the TWAIN interface is the same regardless of the software you use to open it, you can still use the instructions in this User’s Guide for scanning with your Xerox DocuMate 520 scanner. To access the TWAIN interface from other software, please refer to their user’s guides, then return to this User’s Guide for the steps to scan.

NOTE: You can also access the TWAIN interface when you’re

scanning from the One Touch software. If the One Touch configuration you’re using to scan is set to Configure Before Scan, and the selected option is TWAIN, the TWAIN interface opens right away without opening PaperPort or any other TWAIN-compliant software first. See the section “Configuring Before Scanning” on page 64 for details.
