Using an Image Scanning Application on the Computer

This section explains about the basic flow of performing a scan using an image scanning application on the computer.

In this case, a scanner driver and an image scanning application that supports the scanner driver must be installed on the computer.

The following scanner driver and image scanning applications are bundled with the scanner:

  • Scanner driver

    • PaperStream IP driver

  • Image scanning application

    • PaperStream ClickScan

    • PaperStream Capture

For details about the scanner driver and image scanning applications, refer to Overview of the Bundled Software.

Scanning procedures, operations, and scan setting items slightly vary depending on the image scanning application and the scanner driver.

For details, refer to the help for the image scanning application and the scanner driver.

  1. Turn on the scanner.

    For details, refer to How to Turn the Power ON.

  2. Load a document in the ADF paper chute (feeder).

    Load the document face-down in the ADF paper chute (feeder).

    Loading Documents

    For details, refer to How to Load Documents.

  3. Start an image scanning application.
  4. Select a scanner driver to be used for scanning.

    For some image scanning applications, selection of a scanner driver may not be needed.

  5. Select a scanner.

    To use a scanner connected to a network, select a scanner that is selected in Scanner Selection Tool for fi Series.

    For some image scanning applications, selection of a scanner may not be needed.

  6. In the setup window for the scanner driver, configure the scan settings.

    For some image scanning applications, the setup window for the scanner driver may not appear.

  7. Scan documents with the image scanning application.
ATTENTION

Do not perform an operation to disconnect the connection between the scanner and the computer such as the following:

Example:

  • Disconnecting the USB cable

  • Disconnecting the LAN cable

  • Disconnecting the network

  • Logging off

When an image scanning application such as PaperStream Capture that allows you to create profiles is installed on a computer, by setting a profile for the scanner button in the scanning application setting, the profile name is displayed on the touch screen button of the scanner.

When the scanning application on the computer is ready to scan a document, in some cases, it is possible to scan a document by pressing the [Scan Button] button on the touch screen of the scanner instead of operating the scanning application to scan a document.

When the [Scan Button] button is available for a scan, even if the name of the [Scan Button] button on the touch screen of the scanner changes to a profile name, the profile name button will still be recognized as if it were the [Scan Button] button when it is pressed and a scan will be performed accordingly.
