Click on the Edit button to open the Scan Configuration Properties window to configure any destination specific scanning options. Each destination that has per-scan configuration properties will be represented by its configuration tab in the One Touch Scan Configuration Properties window.
Scanning with Job Separation Use job separation to have One Touch 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 One Touch will separate each statement into a different file based on your selected job separator. 1. Open the One Touch Properties window. 2.
6. 7. 8. Select one of the two job separation options: When a blank page is detected—a new file will be created after a blank page is fed through the scanner. The blank page is discarded from the scanned image and the new file starts with the next page in the document stack. Place a blank page, in the document you are scanning, at each place where you want a new file created when scanning is complete.
• 108 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.
Text Formats You select the text format option by clicking on the text icon on the One Touch Properties window. This is the text format icon. This example of the text format icon is sPDF. 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.
2. Right-click on the text format icon. Example menu for the TEXT format when the Destination Application is Microsoft Word. 3. Example menu for the TEXT format when the Destination Application is a Storage location. Choose the file type that you want for the text format. Your selection of a file type pertains only to the Destination Application currently selected on the One Touch Properties window. Other Destination Applications that have a text option selected as the Page Format are not affected.
Normal PDF—the .pdf file format used by Adobe Acrobat. This format converts scanned text into a PDF with the text ready for editing in a PDF editing program. Additional options are available on the menu for the sPDF and nPDF text formats. The three image quality settings are: • Minimize Size—smallest file size, lowest image quality. • Normal—medium file size, some loss of image quality. • Maximize Quality—largest file size, no loss of image quality.
Selecting One Touch OmniPage OCR Options The software you installed for your scanner includes a set of advanced OCR options integrated with One Touch. Note: The OCR options apply globally to all the One Touch Destination Applications that perform OCR. For example, if you select the OCR options for Adobe Acrobat, they also apply to WordPad. To select OCR options available from One Touch: 1. Open the One Touch Properties window. 2.
The OCR Tab The options shown on the OCR tab window are for spellchecking scanned text, replacing missing or unrecognized characters, and setting the speed and quality levels of the OCR processing. 1. 114 Choose the options you want from the OCR window. Languages in Document—click on the language(s) in list that correspond to the languages in the documents to be scanned. You can click on multiple languages. These are the languages that will be recognized during the OCR process.
2. User Dictionary—a user dictionary is your personal dictionary with words that you want the OCR engine to reference for better accuracy when converting the document into editable text. For example, if you scan documents with highly technical terms or acronyms not found in typical dictionaries, you can add them to your personal dictionary. You can also add names that you expect to be in the documents too.
3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Type each word you want in your new dictionary, followed by a carriage return. Make sure to spell the words correctly as they will be used for spellchecking. Here is an example of what the text file might look like: Xerox One Touch OmniPage wysiwyg jpeg bmp sPDF nPDF The file does not have to include every word you want in the dictionary. You will be able to edit the list later.
8. Click Add New. The Add New User Dictionary window opens. 9. Click the drop-down arrow for Files of type and choose Text Files (.txt). 10. Select the file you just created for your user dictionary and click Open. In the example above, the file is named USERDIC1. 11. The text file now appears on the list of user dictionaries that you can use for spellchecking. 12. Select a dictionary and click Set As Current to set it as the current dictionary for spellchecking. The label [current] is added to the name.
To edit a user dictionary: 1. On the Add New window, select the dictionary to edit and click Edit. The Edit User Dictionary window opens. It lists the words currently in the dictionary. The following example shows the words OmniPage and One Touch are in the user dictionary named MyDictionary. 2. To add a new word to the list, type it in the box for User Word and click Add. If the word includes any spaces before or after it, those spaces are removed and the word is added to the list.
6. To export a user dictionary so it can be used by another program, select the dictionary on the User Dictionary Files list and click Export. The Export User Dictionary window opens. 7. Select the dictionary file to export and click Save. The file is exported as a formatted dictionary with the .ud filename extension so it can be opened by other programs. The Format Tab The options on the Format tab window are for setting the input and output formats for the scanned documents.
1. Click the Format tab and choose the options you want for both the input and output formats. Input Format Options • Automatic—choose this option to let the OCR process determine the format of the pages. 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.
True page—this output format uses absolute positioning on the page to keep the original layout of the pages, including columns. This is done with text, picture and table boxes and frames. True Page is the only choice for documents scanned with the PDF format. It is not available for the TXT, RTF, CSV, or XLS formats. • Spreadsheet—this output format produces results in a tabular form with each page becoming a separate worksheet. The worksheets can then be opened in a spreadsheet application.
One Touch with Visioneer Acuity Technology The One Touch software you received with your Xerox scanner now includes the Visioneer Acuity technology. This application has a set of features for improving and enhancing the quality of scanned documents, especially documents that would usually produce poorer quality images. Scan configurations with Acuity options work with One Touch scan settings to produce the best quality images.
1. Open the One Touch Properties window. 2. Click the New button to create a new configuration, or select one of your custom configurations you created earlier and click the Edit button. Click the Acuity Settings tab to see the new Acuity settings. 3. 4. 5. 6. Choose the Visioneer Acuity options for the scan configuration. Click the drop-down arrow to choose the type of Acuity settings to use for the new scan configuration.
Auto detect color—Determines if a document contains color or not and produces the appropriate scanned image. Typically, Auto Color Detect is used when you have a stack of pages to scan, some color and others not. Instead of you having to change the scan settings from Color to Black&White and back again, the scanner can choose the correct settings automatically. • Skip blank originals—Recognizes when a page is blank and removes its image.
When a scan configuration includes Acuity options, the OneTouch Panel and the OneTouch Properties window both show the Acuity icon as a reminder. The Acuity icon on the top of the One Touch Panel and on the scan configuration remind you that the scan will use the Acuity settings. The summary of the scan settings also indicates Acuity settings.

Accessing the Scanner Interface Every scanning application will access the scanner using a different method. Below is a brief list of common applications and how to initiate a scan from within that application, including some of the applications which may have been provided with your scanner. Please refer to the application’s user guide for instructions on using the application and accessing the scanner.
Scanning Some options in the interface may be grayed out and cannot be selected. Grayed out options are either not appropriate for the current scanner, the software needed to enable the feature is not installed, or the feature is dependent on another setting in the scanner's interface. Hover the mouse cursor over a grayed out feature to see information about why the feature is unavailable. 1. Load the document(s) in the scanner. 2. Adjust the settings in the interface for the item you are scanning. 3.
Using the Preview Window Clicking the Preview button will display the preview window for the scanner interface. Use the preview option if you want to scan and display a sample image that reflects the current settings in the main interface. After the preview is displayed, you can then adjust the settings in the main interface until you are happy with how the sample image looks. The preview window is also where you can define custom scan regions.
5. The scanner scans and displays a sample image in the preview area. You can now adjust the settings in the main interface as needed. 6. Click Show main UI to bring the main scanner interface in front of the preview window for you to adjust the scan settings. There are some settings in the main interface, such as brightness and contrast, which will immediately update the preview image after you adjust the setting.
Important: do not change the page size for the scanned image after you create custom regions. When you have set a custom region in the preview window, the page size field will display “user defined” indicating you have specified one or more custom regions for scanning. Changing the page size after you create a custom region discards the custom regions and sets a single scan region to the size you selected in the page size list. Creating custom scan regions: 1.
6. Create additional scan regions as needed by clicking anywhere in the sample image, hold your mouse button down, and then drag your mouse to create a scan region. Release the mouse button when the area you want is within the rectangle. If you want to create a region that overlaps another region, hold the Ctrl (control) key on the keyboard while you click and drag the mouse to create the region. You can release the Ctrl key after you start creating the overlapping region.
When Visioneer Acuity is installed, you can create multiple scan regions for each image scanned. The maximum number of scan regions you can create when Visioneer Acuity is installed may vary between scanner models. When creating scan regions and you reach the maximum number of allowable scan regions, you will not be able to continue creating scan regions until you remove a region you have already created.
Deleting regions – to delete a region, place your mouse cursor over the region you want to delete. The region will highlight indicating it is the active region under the mouse cursor. Right-click on the region and select the delete option from the menu. Move, Resize, or Delete a Blocked Region If there is a region you cannot move or resize because another region is in the way, you can temporarily move that region behind the other regions.
Make this the first region – select this option to set the region number to 1. This option is not available if the region you right-clicked on is already at position 1. After selecting this option, all other regions will have their number update automatically as appropriate. Make this region a lower number – select this option to move the region number up one in the processing order. This option is not available if the region you right-clicked on is already at position 1.

Document Image Adjustments These options are in the scanning interface for adjusting how the document appears in the scanned image. Straighten Image Select this option to let the scanner automatically determine if a page is skewed, then straighten its image. This option is only available if 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.
• Blank threshold—you can adjust the sensitivity level of the blank image detection. For instance, if you are scanning double-sided light-weight paper, the scanner may not detect the blank side because text or images, from the opposite side of the page, appeared in the scanned image. In that case, lower the sensitivity level for more accurate results. Perform Edge Cleanup Select this option to have the software remove any thin lines that may be around the edges in the scanned image.
Double Feed Detection Double Feed Detection is the scanner's ability to detect when two or more pages are fed through the scanner at the same time. When this option is turned on, ultrasonic waves are aimed at the document to detect multiple pages by the level at which the waves pass through the pages. The accuracy of this sensor depends on paper thickness and whether or not creasing is in the original document. This option is available in the interface only if the current scanner supports this feature.
Image Enhancements Click on the Image Enhancements icon to select options applicable to what type of image processing you want applied for the items being scanned. • Main panel—this panel contains the most commonly used scan settings. Some of the options in this panel may have adjustment options on the other panels in this section. When the Basic source configuration mode is selected, this is the only panel available.
Main Panel Options Some of the options in this panel may have advanced adjustment options on a different panel in this section. When the Advanced configuration mode is selected, a gear icon will appear next to those features which have adjustment options. Clicking on one of the gear icons will open the area of the interface where the advanced settings are located. Click on a link below to go to the appropriate page in this section for instructions on adjusting the option that is displayed on the Main tab.
Brightness works in conjunction with Contrast for image enhancement. When you are adjusting the brightness level to improve the scanned image quality, try adjusting the contrast level as well. The contrast level is the range between the lightest and darkest parts of the image. For example, if you scanned a document with notes written in pencil, you may have to decrease the brightness level to get the handwritten notes to appear in the scanned image.
Choosing contrast values While Brightness adds the same amount of gray or white to all pixels in the image, Contrast adjusts the pixels based on the pixel color level. For instance, increasing the contrast level will add white to light colored pixels and gray to dark pixels to make the difference between color levels in the image crisper.
Gamma Gamma is the tone curve and starting point for image enhancement. Move the slider left or right to darken or lighten the image. As you raise or lower the Gamma value, the values at which Brightness and Contrast affect the image are changed. It is recommended that you keep the default gamma value, or adjust this setting before adjusting the other options.
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. The following example shows the original grayscale image and the inverted image. The following example shows the original color image and the inverted image. Mirror Image The Mirror image option flips the image left-to-right.
Bit Depth Reduction The Bit depth reduction options are only available when scanning in black and white. Click the drop down menu and select an option from the list. Threshold and Dynamic threshold Threshold enables you to set what level of light or dark to look for on a page. When scanning in black and white, everything on the page is set to either white pixels or black pixels in the final image.
Bayer dither scan - Close up Advanced Panel Options The options in this panel may also appear in the Main panel, but with additional settings for you to fine-tune the feature you've selected. Despeckle This option removes speckles from the background. Speckles are small spots on an image that the scanner interpreted as a valid part of the document. For example, an irregularity in the paper, a small wrinkle, or holes where a staple was removed may show up as speckles in the scanned image.
For example, if the radius is 3 and the number is 5, then the document is evaluated in sections of 3x3 pixels and if there are more than 5 stray dots within a 3x3 area, they are not considered a speckle. Filter Use the Filter option to increase or decrease the sharpness in the scanned image. Click the drop down menu and select an option from the list. Use the Mask slider to adjust the tolerance level of the filter.
This option is only available when scanning in grayscale or black and white. The example below shows the original text with a red watermark and the resulting image with the color removed.
Driver Configuration Use the Driver configuration section to configure the add-on modules, select interface options, and view the scanner hardware properties. When the Advanced configuration mode is selected, a scanner panel option will be available for you to change any hardware settings that may be available for your scanner. Disabled Options in this Section Some options in the interface may be grayed out and cannot be selected.

Safety Precautions When servicing the scanner you should take the following precautions to ensure your safety and prevent damage to the scanner. Do These • Wear protective gloves when cleaning the scanner with Isopropyl rubbing alcohol. Rubbing alcohol may irritate sensitive skin. • Only perform scanner maintenance as described in this chapter. • Keep the scanner and cleaning supplies away from any open flame or heat source as any form of alcohol is flammable.
Clearing Paper Jams If your scanner stops scanning due to a paper jam in the Automatic Document Feeder, a warning dialog box opens after a few moments. 1. Pull open the Automatic Document Feeder cover. • • 2. If the page is jammed at the start of the paper path carefully pull it out of the scanner. If the page is jammed farther in the ADF, use the manual feed wheel to feed the jammed page through the ADF. And then pull out the jammed page from under the paper input tray.
Cleaning the Scanner Regular maintenance of your scanner can help to ensure continual optimal performance. Using a soft, dry, lint-free cloth, wipe down all plastic surfaces on the outside of the scanner, input tray and paper exit path. Cleaning the Automatic Document Feeder You may need to clean the ADF feed mechanism if documents do not feed easily into the ADF, or several feed in at the same time. 1. Wet a soft cloth with some Isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol). 2.
6. Wipe clean the glass strip on the underside of the duplex lamp module. Wipe clean the glass strip in the body of the scanner. 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, dry, clean cloth to rid the glass of dust or other debris.
Replacing the ADF Pad Assembly The ADF pad may wear out and is designed to be a user-replaceable part. Problems with documents feeding into the ADF is an indication that the pad is wearing out. Discard the parts as you remove them from the scanner, the parts cannot be reused and are a choking hazard. 1. Open the ADF cover. The ADF pad is located on the top of the duplex lamp module. 2. Squeeze the plastic clamp that holds the pad assembly in place. 3. 4. Lift the pad up and out of the scanner.
5. Place the new tension spring in the scanner. 6. Place the new ADF pad in the scanner on top of the tension spring. 7. 8. Press down on the ADF pad until you hear a "click" when it locks in place. Close the ADF cover. Carefully press down on the ADF cover until it locks in place with a “click”.
Replacing the Roller Assembly After extended use, the feed roller may wear out. It is a user-replaceable part and can be reordered. Frequent paper jams are a symptom of a worn roller assembly. A worn roller can cause documents to feed in skewed at an angle, or multiple pages to feed at the same time. A worn roller should be replaced to avoid damage to the scanner’s internal parts. Before replacing the roller you should clean it as excessive dust on the roller will make it appear worn and smooth.
4. Remove the roller from the scanner and discard it, it cannot be repaired. 5. 6. 7. Before installing the new roller, clean any dust that may have gotten on it during shipping. Insert the left end of the roller into the channel in the ADF door. Angle the roller module up and into the channel in the underside of the ADF door. Hold the feed roller module fully in the scanner door while you lock it in place. 8. Align the tab on the lock flange with the slot in the scanner.
Troubleshooting Problem: The scanner won’t scan. What’s wrong? Check for one of these possible problems: • Is a cable loose or not plugged in securely? Inspect all cable connections. Make sure all the cables are plugged in securely. • Is the scanner’s status light on? Turn on the scanner’s power. If the status light doesn’t come on, plug the power supply into another electrical outlet.
There are a limited number of times that an application can open. When "Create single image files" is selected and you are scanning to a destination application, each side of the page scanned will open a new instance of that application. If you want to have an image open in an application immediately, limit your scan batch to less than 5 pages. Alternatively, you can set your destination to be a folder location on your computer or network using "Transfer to Storage".
Problem: Paper is jamming constantly in the ADF. To reduce the number of paper jams, smooth and straighten the paper before scanning, and adjust the guides to the paper size. Paper fed into the ADF at an angle can cause the feed mechanism to jam. If paper jams are occurring more frequently, try cleaning the roller with a soft cloth dampened with Isopropyl rubbing alcohol. Excessive dust on the roller can make it appear worn and will also cause issues feeding paper.
In all cases, you should turn off the scanner and check the scanner setup. Make sure the USB cable is plugged into the scanner and computer. Make sure the power cord is plugged into the scanner and into a wall outlet or USB port. Error Code Problem Description Solution 4 Paper jam. See Clearing Paper Jams on page 175. 5 Multiple Feed. Multiple pages have fed through the scanner at one time. Open the ADF door and remove the pages from the scanner.
