BURN  TO CD-ROM

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 version XP or later.

Supported file types—Since the files are going to be burned to a CD, all file formats in OneTouch are available. Note that text file formats are only available if an OCR module or application is installed. Please refer to "Text Formats" on page 22 to see a list of text file formats that are available when OCR is installed.

Destination type—The Burn to CD-ROM destination is classified as a “Storage Link”. To make it available in the destination list, you must select Storage and CD-R/W on the Options tab in the OneTouch Properties window.

1.    Open the OneTouch Properties window.

2.    Select Burn to CD as the Destination Application.

3.    Choose a File Format and a Scan Configuration.

4.    Click OK.

5.    Now start scanning using the scanning button you set to scan and burn to a CD.

The scanner will start scanning. When finished the file will be saved to the Windows temporary location for CD files. An information  bubble will appear in the Windows notification area telling you that there are files waiting to be burned to CD.

6.    When you are ready to burn the files to a CD, open the OneTouch Properties window, select Burn to CD and then click the Properties button.

7.    Make sure a blank CD is in the CD burner.

8.    Click the Burn to CD button. The CD burner begins and your scanned documents are written to the CD.

If other files are also waiting in this location, they will get written with the OneTouch files on the CD.

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 OneTouch Properties window.

2. Select Still Image Client as the Destination Application.

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

3. Choose a Scan Configuration.

4. Click Apply or OK.

5. Start scanning a page.

A dialog box appears for you to select the application to use for scanning.

6. Select the application in the box and click OK.

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

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 webready format in one automatic step.

To scan and create an HTML web page:

1. Open the OneTouch Properties window.

2. Select Microsoft Explorer as the Destination Application.

3. Choose HTML as the Page Format.

4. Choose a Scan Configuration that has the settings for the image on the HTML page.

For example, if you want the image to be in color on the HTML page, choose a color configuration.

5. Click OK.

The OneTouch Properties window closes.

6. Now scan the image from the OneTouch Button Panel.

When scanning is finished, the document is first converted to editable text using the OCR process, then is converted into an HTML format. Microsoft Internet Explorer then opens showing your converted page.

Note: Depending on the complexity of the document, its conversion to the HTML format may take a few moments.

7. Choose Save As from the Internet Explorer File menu, give the page a name, and save it in the location you use for your web page files.

You may also want to write down the address shown in the Address bar to make sure you’ll know where to find your new HTML page later on.

8. You can now use Microsoft Internet Explorer or other application to post the document to your web page as you would any other HTML page.

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.

To scan and transfer to storage:

1. Open the OneTouch Properties window.

2. Select Transfer to Storage as the Destination Application.

3. Choose a Page Format. For example, choose sPDF if you want to save your documents in the special sPDF format that provides searchable text in the file.

4. Choose a Scan Configuration

5. Click Apply or OK.

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