Scanning to Multiple Destinations Scanning to multiple destinations works the same as when scanning to a single destination, One Touch simply distributes the final scan to several destinations. This option is enabled separately for each One Touch button. 1. Open the One Touch Properties window and click on the Options tab. 2. 3. 100 Select Enable scanning to multiple destinations, then click back on the configuration tab.
4. 5. If any of the destinations you select have global configuration properties, the Properties button at the bottom of the Selected destinations list will be enabled for you to configure the destination options. Click on the Properties button to open the One Touch Link Properties window to configure the destinations. Each destination that has global properties will be represented by its configuration tab in the One Touch Link Properties window.
6. 7. 8. Select the scan configuration you want to use for scanning in the Select configuration list. 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.
• 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. 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.
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.
– 4. 5. 6. 7. 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. In fact, the file does not have to contain any text at all, and you could add the words using the editing options. However, if the list of words is long, it’s usually faster to type them in the word processing program.
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. If you don’t want to use any user dictionaries for spellchecking, click [none] at the top of the list.
3. To import a list of words from another text file, click Import. The Import Contents of User Dictionary window opens. 4. Select the file that has the words you want to add to your user dictionary. Importing will add the entire list of words in a file to the user dictionary. Click Import. The file’s words will be added to your user dictionary list. 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. 5. 6.
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.
The Acuity Settings You select the Visioneer Acuity settings when creating or editing a scan configuration on the One Touch Properties window. 1. Open the One Touch Properties window. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 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. Choose the Visioneer Acuity options for the scan configuration.
