If the scanner is properly connected, the scanner icon looks like the one pictured below. Scanner Icon If the icon has a red X through it, the scanner is not properly connected.

On the Windows taskbar, right-click on the scanner icon. The shortcut menu appears. 2. Select About from the shortcut menu. A dialog box confirms the scanner is properly connected. 3. Click OK to close the dialog box. STEP 3: CHECKING OUT YOUR SCANNER 9 Your scanner is ready to scan. See "Three Ways to Scan" on page 11. Note: The scanning lamp under the scanner's glass needs to warm up before you can scan. A status message lets you know when the lamp is ready. The lamp then remains ready so you don't have to wait for it to warm up each time you want to scan. To conserve electricity and prolong the life of the scanner, you can set the length of time for the lamp to remain lit before powering down. See "Setting Preferences" on page 25. IF THE SCANNER IS NOT PROPERLY CONNECTED If the scanner icon on the Windows taskbar has a red "X" through it, the scanner is not properly connected. Check for one or more 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. · Did you restart the computer after installing the software? If you didn't restart the computer, it may not have loaded all of the software files.

THREE WAYS TO SCAN 11 Scanning This chapter describes three methods of scanning, as well as how to customize scanning options. THREE WAYS TO SCAN You can scan items by using buttons on the scanner, buttons on the screen, or from the PaperPort software (or other Twain software). · Scan with the scanner buttons Press a button on the scanner's front panel. See "Scanning by Pressing the Scanner Buttons" on page 12. · Scan from the screen On the Windows taskbar, click the scanner icon. A panel of scanner buttons opens. Click a button to start a scan. See "Scanning from the Button Panel on the Screen" on page 14 for details. · Scan from the PaperPort software (or other Twain software) Start the PaperPort software and then click the Twain icon on the PaperPort command bar. You can also scan from other Twain software. See "Scanning from the PaperPort Software" on page 28. 12 VISIONEER ONETOUCH 6600 SCANNER INSTALLATION AND USER GUIDE SCANNING BY PRESSING THE SCANNER BUTTONS Pressing a scanner button scans the item and then sends the image to the printer or a software application on your computer. To scan by pressing a button on the scanner: 1. Place an item face-down on the glass and align the edge of the item with the arrow marker at the lower-left corner of the glass. 2. Close the document cover and press one of the scanner buttons. The scanner starts scanning. The scan progress window shows a small copy of the image, as illustrated by this example: The scanned image appears in the destination software. In this example, the destination software is the PaperPort desktop. SCANNING BY PRESSING THE SCANNER BUTTONS 13 ABOUT THE BUTTONS ON THE SCANNER The scanner buttons are preconfigured to scan items at various settings and then send the scanned image to a preselected destination software application. You can change the settings for each button. See "About the Configuration Dialog Box" on page 15. The following table lists the scanner's preconfigured button settings: Button Email Scan Copy/Print Preconfigured Settings Scans the item as a color photo and attaches it to a new email message in your email application Scans the item as an AutoCrop scan photograph and displays it in the PaperPort application Prints the scanned item in black and white on your printer/copier at the printer/copier's default resolution Note: If a button is not preconfigured, the Configuration dialog box opens on your computer screen so you can configure it manually. For example, if your computer does not have email software installed, the Email button is not preconfigured. 14 VISIONEER ONETOUCH 6600 SCANNER INSTALLATION AND USER GUIDE 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 computer screen. The scanner scans the item and then sends the image to the printer or 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 face-down on the glass, close the lid, and then click the scanner icon on the Windows taskbar. The scanner button panel opens on the screen. 2. Click one of the scan buttons. The scanner starts scanning the item. Messages about the scanning appear above the Windows taskbar and the progress window shows the image as it is scanned. When the scan is complete, the scanned image appears in the destination application. ABOUT THE BUTTONS ON THE BUTTON PANEL 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 Express. When you click the email button, the item is scanned, and then MS Outlook Express opens. In this case, the scanned image automatically becomes an attachment to send with an email message. 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. SCANNING FROM THE BUTTON PANEL ON THE SCREEN 15 CONFIGURING THE SCANNER AND SCREEN BUTTONS When you first connect your scanner to a computer, the scanner's software configures each button with appropriate settings. Using the Configuration dialog box, you can modify the button settings to meet your specific needs. ABOUT THE CONFIGURATION DIALOG BOX The Configuration dialog box shows the current settings for each button on the scanner and screen panel. 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 Scan button because the Scan tab is selected. The Scan button is set up to scan the item with the configuration named Scan Magazine, and then after the scanning is finished, to open PaperPort to display the scanned image. The Format and Page(s) option is set to scan as a bitmap for a single page item. Select a software application to send the scanned image to. Click this tab to set preferences. Select a setting for scanning the item. Select format and page(s) options for the button. 16 VISIONEER ONETOUCH 6600 SCANNER INSTALLATION AND USER GUIDE See "Creating New Configurations" on page 20 for settings on the Preferences tab.
