Scanning by pressing the One Touch buttons

Pressing a scanner button scans the item, and then sends the image either to the printer, or to a software application—called the destination application—on your computer.

To scan by pressing a button on the scanner:

4800/2400 Series Installation and User Guide 2-1

Three ways to scan

1.

Place an item to scan on the glass, face down, and align the edge of the item with the arrow marker at the lower left corner of the glass.

2.

Close the lid and press one of the scanner buttons.

The scanner starts scanning the item. Messages just above the Windows taskbar shows the status of the scanning. During scanning, the scan progress window shows a small copy of the image, as illustrated by this example:

NOTE:

If a button is not preconfigured, the Configuration dialog box appears when you press that button so you can configure it manually. For example, if your computer does not have email software installed, the Email button cannot be configured.

Scanning from the button panel on the screen

Scanning from the button panel on the screen is just like pressing a scanner button, except you click the button on the screen. The scanner scans the item, and then sends the image either to the printer, or to a destination application on your computer. This method of scanning is especially helpful if the scanner is not located close to your computer.

To scan from the screen:

1.

Place an item to scan on the glass, face down, close the lid, and then click the scanner icon on the Windows taskbar.

The scanner button panel appears on the screen.

Figure 2-5 Button panel

2.

Click the button you want to use to scan.

The scanner starts scanning the item; the messages about the scanning appear above the Windows taskbar; the progress window shows the image as it is scanned. When the scan is complete, the scanned image appears in the destination application.

The icons on the buttons indicate the destination application for the scanned image. For example, in the illustration above, the icon on the email button is for the email application, MS Outlook. When you click the email button, the item is scanned, and then MS Outlook opens. In this case, the scanned image automatically becomes an attachment to send with an email message.

4800/2400 Series Installation and User Guide 2-3

Three ways to scan

A question mark icon on a button means your computer does not have an application that corresponds to that button’s functions. For example, if your computer does not have an email application, the

Email button will have a question mark icon on it.

About the Configuration dialog box

The Configuration dialog box shows the current settings for each scanner button.

The tabs across the top of the dialog box correspond to the buttons.

Clicking a tab shows the current settings for the corresponding button on the scanner.

For example, the following figure shows the current settings for the

Custom button because the Custom tab is selected. The Custom button is set up to scan the item with the configuration named

Photograph for Editing, and then after the scanning is finished, to open Microsoft Paint to display the scanned image. The Format and

Page(s) setting is to scan as a bitmap for a single page item.

Click the tab that corresponds to the scanner button you want to configure.

Select a software application to send the scanned image to that application.

scanning produces an image in varying shades of gray. Select

Color to scan color photographs and other color items.

Resolution – Drag the slider to the right or left to adjust the dots per inch (dpi) of the resolution. 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 – 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.

6.

Click the [Page Settings] tab to adjust the scan page settings.

Figure 2-14 Edit page settings

Page Size – Choose a page size from the drop-down list. The outlines on the picture represent the various page sizes.

Clicking one of those outlines also selects it as the page size for the scan. If you select the Custom option from the dropdown list, boxes appear in place of the picture. Enter the horizontal and vertical page dimensions in the boxes.

AutoCrop – Select this option to let the scanner automatically determine the size of the item being scanned. For example, if you put a photo in the middle of the glass, the scanner will automatically determine the size of the photo. When AutoCrop is selected, the scanner makes two passes—the first pass senses the item’s size, and the second pass scans the image.

This option overrides the Page Size menu selection.

DeScreen – Select this option when scanning a picture from a newspaper or magazine article, or other item that contains images with patterns or dots. Scans of patterns or dots sometimes have a distorted or wavy appearance. The scanner scans the item to compensate for the patterns and dots, and produces a clearer image. The scanning may slow down a bit when this option is selected. You do not need to select this option when scanning photographs. The DeScreen setting does not apply to the Black/White mode.

4800/2400 Series Installation and User Guide 2-9

Three ways to scan

Gamma – Drag the slider to improve how the colors in a scanned image look on your monitor. Gamma correction allows you to achieve precise color matching. Because the computer cannot always transmit the exact color information to the hardware, you may have to make some color adjustments using the Gamma feature.

The default Gamma setting works fine in most cases and normally does not need to be adjusted.

7.

Click [OK].

The Configuration dialog box reappears. Make sure the configuration you just defined is selected.

Scanning from the PaperPort software

Instead of using a scanner button, you can scan directly from the

PaperPort software.

NOTE:

You can also scan directly with other software that meets the TWAIN standards for scanning, which includes many graphics and imaging applications available for your computer. The following steps explain how to set up and scan from the PaperPort software but you can use the same basic processes with other TWAIN software.

To scan from PaperPort, you must first do a one-time-only set up of the software.

To set up the scanner:

1.

If the PaperPort software isn’t currently running, double-click the PaperPort icon on the Windows Desktop to start it. The

PaperPort Desktop appears.

2.

From the [File] menu, choose [Scan].

3.

Choose [Xerox Scan Manager Pro].

NOTE:

You don’t need to set up the scanner again unless you change the selected source to another TWAIN device, such as a digital camera.

Using TWAIN and Scan Manager Pro

The following steps explain how to scan an item using the TWAIN button in the PaperPort software. You can scan many types of paper items, from small business cards to A4-sized pages.

NOTE:

Your One Touch scanner is initially set to scan from the

PaperPort software for color items. To scan a black-and-white or greyscale item, select one of the other configurations from the

Scan Manager Pro’s list of configurations. To scan at a higher resolution for a color image, select Color

Better Quality. However,

4800/2400 Series Installation and User Guide 2-13

Three ways to scan scanning at a higher resolution creates a larger file size and takes longer to scan. To minimize the file size and the time required to get a better quality scan, select just the area of the item that you want to scan.

To scan an item:

1.

Open the scanner cover, place the item face down onto the lower left edge of the scanner glass, and close the cover.

2.

If PaperPort isn’t running, double-click the PaperPort icon on the Windows Desktop to start it. The PaperPort Desktop appears.

3.

6.

Click [OK].

Your new profile is now listed as one of the configurations.

Select it when you want to reuse its settings.

Adjusting the Resolution and Sharpness

Resolution determines the amount of detail you can see in the scanned image. The resolution setting for the scan is in dots-perinch (dpi). The higher the resolution, the finer the details, however, higher dpi settings also produce larger files sizes. Usually the higher resolution settings are used for precision work, such as photographs or fine artwork.

Sharpness determines the amount of blur in an image. Your scanner can sharpen an original blurred image by adjusting the blurry edges in sections of the image.

The figure on the left shows the resolution and sharpen options.

NOTE:

The location of various button on the panels may be slightly different on your Scan Manager Pro window because the appearance of the window depends on your computer monitor’s screen resolution.

To adjust the resolution and sharpness:

1.

To use one of the preset resolutions for typical scanned items, click one of the options in the list.

For example, to set the resolution for scanning a business card, select Business Card. That setting is preset to read small print on a typical business card.

2.

To set the resolution manually, drag the Resolution slider to the left to decrease the resolution or to the right to increase it.

4800/2400 Series Installation and User Guide 2-19

Three ways to scan

2-20

3.

To adjust the sharpness, drag the Fidelity slider to the left to decrease the sharpness or to the right to increase the sharpness.

You can also type a number directly into the sharpness setting box, or click the up and down arrows next to the box to increase or decrease the setting.

4.

To return the settings to their original amounts, click [Reset].

The resolution and sharpen panel also includes an advanced setting for Moire patterns. Moire patterns are wavy, rippled lines that sometimes appear on the scanned images of photographs or illustrations, particularly newspaper and magazine illustrations. To scan the image and limit or eliminate the amount of moire patterns, select the [Reduce Moire] option.

Adjusting the brightness and contrast

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

The histogram shows the amount of the image (that is, the number of pixels) at different brightness levels. From left to right, the histogram indicates dark to light. To see this visually, drag the

Brightness slider back and forth and watch how the distribution of pixels changes to indicate a darker or lighter image.

The figure on the left shows the brightness and contrast options.

To adjust the brightness and contrast:

1.

Drag the Brightness slider to the left to make the item darker or to the right to make the item lighter.

You can also type a number directly into the brightness setting box, or click the up and down arrows next to the box to increase or decrease the setting.

2.

Drag the Contrast slider to the left to decrease the contrast or to the right to increase the contrast.

The Histogram represents the settings as you drag the sliders.

For color scan configurations you can adjust the brightness and contrast using a single color, or all together, by choosing from the drop-down menu at the top of the Histogram.

For example, if you select Red from the menu and drag the

Brightness and Contrast sliders, you can see how the red component of the histogram changes. Note, however, that the

Green and Blue components also change relative to those new brightness and contrast settings.

3.

Click the [Auto] button to have the scanner analyze the image and set the appropriate brightness and contrast.

4800/2400 Series Installation and User Guide

Three ways to scan

You can also adjust the brightness and contrast by sampling portions of the image in the preview window. The three Sampler buttons correspond to the Black, Mid tones, and White portions of an image.

To use the Sampler buttons:

1.

Click one of the buttons.

The pointer automatically moves onto the image and becomes a sampler pointer.

2.

Place the pointer on the portion of the image for that sample and click.

For example, if you selected the Black sampler button, place the pointer on the blackest part of the image.

3.

Repeat with each of the other Sampler buttons.

4.

Click [Adjust].

The image changes to show your new settings.

5.

If the image is not what you want, click [Reset] to return the image to its original brightness and contrast.

Adjusting gamma, saturation, and color hue

If you’re using the Color Configuration to scan, you can adjust a group of color settings. Gamma controls the brightness of the midtones of the color, saturation is the strength or purity of a color, and hue is the color your eyes see as reflected from the image.

These color settings are represented by a response curve.

The horizontal axis of the response curve represents the original settings of the image, and the vertical axis represents new settings.

Thus, the curve is a straight line from the lower left to upper right for an original, unchanged image. To see how the response curve indicates changes, drag the Gamma slider to left and right.

The figure on the left shows the color options.

To adjust the color settings:

1.

From the Channel drop-down menu, choose the individual color (Red, Green, or Blue) that you want to use as the basis for adjusting the image, or choose [All] to adjust them together.

2.

From the Edit Style drop-down menu, choose the type of color editing that you want to use:

• Gamma – The response curve changes as you change the gamma setting; you can also change the saturation and hue settings.

• Freestyle – You can drag points and sections of the response curve to create interesting and unusual color effects. Put the pointer on the curve and drag left, right, up or down. The image changes its colors in response to the

new curve. The x and y numbers at the bottom of the response curve indicate the exact position of the pointer on the curve. The Gamma slider remains fixed when you use the Freestyle option.

3.

Drag the Gamma, Saturation, and Color Hue sliders to the left to decrease the settings or to the right to increase the settings.

You can also type a number directly into the setting boxes, or click the up and down arrows next to the boxes.

4.

Click [Reset] to return the settings to their original numbers.

The upper Reset button is for the gamma setting, the lower one is for saturation and hue.

5.

To save the settings of a response curve, click [Save].

Saving is available for settings created with the Freestyle editing option so you can load and reuse the exact settings on other images. This is especially helpful for complex Freestyle response curves.

A dialog box appears that lists the names of previously saved settings. Type a name for your new settings and click [OK].

6.

To reuse a saved response curve setting, click [Load].

A dialog box lists the names of your previously saved settings.

Select the one you want and click [OK].

Adjusting output size

The item you’re scanning may not fill the scanner glass. In that case you can preview the item and use the Auto Trim option to automatically eliminate the unwanted sections of the image.

You can also adjust the output size to scan only specific sections of an image. For example, if you’re scanning a photograph and want to focus on one section, adjusting the output size removes the rest of the photograph from the final scanned image.

The figure on the left shows the output size options.

To Auto Trim an item:

1.

Click [Auto Trim].

2.

Click [Trim].

The scanner senses the edges of the item on the glass and draws a dotted line around the image in the window.

2.

To set the output size yourself, click [Same as Original] to remove the checkmark.

The settings for the output size become active.

3.

Put the pointer on the image and drag the mouse to enclose the section you want in the scanned image.

As you drag the mouse, a dotted box appears on the image and the size settings change to reflect the new output size area. You can also type in the size settings boxes.

• Width and Height – The measurements of the final image after it’s scanned; for example, if you plan to print the image on a typical piece of paper, the width and height are 8.5 and

11.0 inches.

• Units – Units of measurement for the new area; click the drop-down arrow and choose new units if you want.

• Resolution – The dots-per-inch (dpi) setting for the new area.

• Scale – The amount of enlargement or reduction of the image to fill the width and height measurements; for example, if you select a small area and have set the width and height to a paper size, the scale automatically increases to enlarge the small image so it’s the same size as the paper.

A new Scan Info box on the lower left portion of the Scan

Manager Pro shows the information for the new area.

You can select multiple areas. A new Scan Info box appears for each one.

The following figure shows an example of a manually selected area.

NOTE:

When you manually select an area, the settings on the other panels are for the selected area, not the whole image. For example, the histogram on the resolution panel and the response curve on the brightness and contrast panel refer to only your newly selected area.

Scanning 35mm slides and negatives

If your One Touch scanner has a Transparency Adaptor, it is specially designed to scan 35mm slides and negatives. You can scan both positive film and negative images.

A brief explanation

Your scanner has sensors that capture the image of the item being scanned. Those sensors are located in the body of the scanner.

When you scan a paper item, the light in the bottom of the scanner shines up on the paper and reflects the paper’s image down onto the scanning sensors. If a 35mm slide or negative is on the glass, however, the light from the bottom of the scanner would shine up through the transparent 35mm slide or negative and would not reflect its image onto the sensors. That is why your scanner has a light in its document cover. When you scan a 35mm slide or negative, the light in the bottom of the scanner turns off, and the light in the cover shines down through the film onto the sensors to capture the film’s image.

To position a 35mm slide or negative for scanning:

1.

Find the appropriate mask for the item you’re scanning. The masks are in a protective plastic bag with your scanner.

3 Troubleshooting and maintenance

Installation troubleshooting

My computer isn’t recognising my scanner. I’ve checked the power and connections, what else should I check?

Sometimes the driver does not install correctly and needs to be reinstalled (this occurs if the scanner is connected before the PaperPort software is installed). To check this go to the Control Panel and double click on the System icon. In the System Properties window, click on the

Device Manager button or Hardware tab and then the Device

Manager button (Win XP/2000). If your scanner is listed with an exclamation mark (!) next to it, delete this entry, restart your computer and the correct driver should be installed.

During installation I got the error message: PaperPort

Installation is not complete. What do I do?

The installation procedure was not successful. You need to reinstall the PaperPort software.

I got the error message: PaperPort cannot allocate enough memory to perform internal critical operations. What do I do?

You should close any other active applications so that additional memory is available. If you click continue, PaperPort moves the file to the PaperPort data directory and renames the file with the prefix

“bad.” This allows you to recover the file later.

To recover the file, you can import it into PaperPort by using the

Import command in the File menu.

Cleaning the scanner glass

Scanning items that have excessive amounts of dirt or dust may dirty the glass. To ensure the best quality scanned item, wipe the scanner glass with a soft clean cloth to rid the glass of dust or other debris.
