STILL IMAGE  CLIENT

If you want to specify an application to use for scanning at the start of the process, you can use event forwarding.

Supported file formats—You cannot select a file format when scanning to the Still Image Client as the destination application is not selected until after you start scanning.

Destination type—The Still Image Client destination  is classified as an “Event Forward Link”. To make it available in the destination list, you must select STI event forwarding on the Options tab in the OneTouch Properties Window.

Please note that if you are have turned on the option to scan to multiple destinations, the Still Image Client destination cannot be selected. Please click on the Options tab and deselect Enable scanning to multiple destinations to proceed with scanning to this destination.

1.    Open the OneTouch Properties window, and select Still Image Client as the Destination Application.

2.    Choose a Scan Configuration and click OK.

3.    Start scanning using the button you selected for event forwarding.

4.    A dialog box opens for you to select the application to use for scanning. Select the application you want in the box and click OK

Now the application you selected opens and you can continue scanning using that application’s interface.

Technical Note

If the scanner scans and sends an image to an application without prompting you to choose an application to run, the control panel options for your scanner’s events are automatically set to run a specific program when an event is initiated. Follow these steps to change the events setting for your scanner.

1.    Open the Windows Control Panel.

2.    Open the Scanners and Cameras group.

When the Control Panel is in Classic View, the Scanners and Cameras group will be in the list. When the Control Panel is in Category View (Windows XP), or Home View (Windows Vista and 7),

the Scanners and Cameras group will be located under either of the following main groups:

•       Windows XP—Printers and Other Hardware

•       Windows Vista and 7—Hardware and Sound

3.    Open the scanner properties window.

•       Windows XP—Click on the scanner icon and then click on the View device properties link on the left side of the window.

•       Windows Vista and 7—Click on the scanner icon and then click on the Properties button.

4.    Click on the Events tab.

5.    Select the option Prompt for which program to run to be prompted when scanning to Still Image Client. Alternatively, select Start this program then choose an application from the list to have that application start each time you scan to Still Image Client.

6.    Click on OK when you are done making changes to this window.

7.    Now when you scan with Event Forwarding you will either be prompted to choose an application, or the default application you selected will open.

IMAGE EDITORS

Image editors include Microsoft Paint and other drawing and graphics applications.

Supported file formats—The available file formats are based on the selected destination application. For example, you can scan to Microsoft’s Paint application  as a BMP, GIF, PNG, or JPG, but not as TIFF or JP2 as Paint cannot open those two file types. Please refer to "Image Formats" on page 19 for more information on which image formats OneTouch supports.

Destination type—This destination type is classified as a “Simple Image Link”. To make it available in the destination list, you must select Image editors (i.e. Paint) on the Options tab in the OneTouch Properties window. If the image editing application you are using does not appear in the Select destination list, you can add the application using the Image Documents OneTouch Link Properties window.

1.    In the OneTouch Properties window select one of the default image editors such as Microsoft Paint.

2.    Click on the Properties button to open the Image Documents OneTouch Link Properties window.

From this window you can add an application and set additional document handling options. Note that if you recently installed an application, click the Refresh button to see if OneTouch will automatically configure the link before you try adding it manually.

IMAGE DOCUMENTS  PROPERTIES

These properties apply to Microsoft Paint and other image processing applications.

•       Add application—Click this button to open the Add Simple Image Link dialogue so you can add other image editing applications to OneTouch.

•       Delete application—Select an application in the list then click this button to remove the application from the OneTouch destination list. You can only delete an application that you have added, the destinations that are linked when OneTouch is installed cannot be deleted.

Color document handling—Click in the Color document handling settings boxes for the options you want. These options will apply to all the applications in the group.

•       Convert Bitmaps using Screen Resolution—Use this option to ensure that an image will fit on the computer’s screen. When a computer screen is set to a lower resolution, bitmap images with a higher resolution may be too big to fit on the screen. Converting the bitmap image to match the screen resolution ensures that the image fits on the screen.

•       Convert Bitmaps to JPEG—JPEG files can be compressed to produce  smaller file sizes and, therefore, shorter transmission times. Use this option to provide that compression capability to image files.
