such as thick paper, embossed plastic cards, plastic identification cards, business cards, and other  
items.  
NOTE: Do not attempt to load documents into the Docking Station input tray while you have an item in  
the scanner fed in from the front. You can only load items into the scanner from either the Front Feed  
tray or the input tray at each scan time. The scanner will jam if you load paper into the input tray after  
an item has already been fed into the front.

Scanning Interfaces  
If you selected the recommended installation options, then you have several different options to scan  
with your Xerox DocuMate 3115 scanner. Each method scans equally well, so use the one with  
appropriate options for the item you are scanning.  
OneTouch—When you press either the Simplex or Duplex button, documents are  
scanned using the scan settings assigned to the selected number on the dial. The  
scanned images are then sent to a destination on your computer or network drive.  
OneTouch Button Panel—Use this scan option when you want to scan  
from the computer screen. Scanning from the on-screen OneTouch  
Button Panel is the same as selecting a scanning option on the scanner,  
except you click an icon that represents the function number. See Scan  
TWAIN and WIA Interface—This option uses your scanner’s  
TWAIN interface to scan. Select scanning options before  
scanning, put the document in the scanner, then click the  
Scan button in the TWAIN interface window. See Scanning

Based on the recommended full installation of the scanner driver and the Visioneer OneTouch  
software, OneTouch is your main scanning interface for using the scanner.  
The OneTouch Button Panel, that you see on the computer screen, shows the pre-set function for each  
button (such as Email) and the icon of the destination (called the Destination Application) where the  
images will be sent when scanning is finished.  
The OneTouch button panel shows which application  
the button is configured to send images to.

Default OneTouch Settings  
When you installed the scanner, the software configured each OneTouch button with appropriate  
settings consisting of: a Destination Application, a Scan Configuration, and a File Format. The button  
names, such as Email or Copy, indicate the original factory settings for a button. You can change any of  
these settings. Please see Changing the Button Settings on page 58 for instructions.  
For example, the Email button is set up to scan documents then immediately attach them to a new  
email message in your default email program. The email application will default to the email program  
specified in the internet options of Internet Explorer.  
A folder icon for a button means that the button is set up to archive the scanned item. The scanner  
sends the scanned image directly to a folder without opening the image first in a software application.  
A question mark for a button means your computer does not have the appropriate software or  
hardware for the initial factory settings.  
If the OneTouch OmniPage Module is not installed, then the options for sending to word processing  
applications such as Microsoft Word will not be available. The OneTouch OmniPage module is installed  
automatically when you install Visioneer OneTouch from the installation disc.  
NOTE: The default page size in each configuration is based on your computer’s Windows Measurement  
system selection of U.S. (United States) or Metric units.  
If U.S. is the selected measurement, the default page size in each profile will be based on the  
United States standard paper sizes such as 8.5 x 11 inches.  
If Metric is the selected measurement, the default page size in each profile is based on the ISO  
216 standard and the majority of the profiles will default to A4.

new file created each time the number of images scanned reaches the number you input in this  
field. Note that when scanning duplex, the number of images detected is twice the number of  
pages scanned. For example, if you input “5” in the field, and scan 10 pages, 20 images are  
captured, and you will get 4 separate files with 5 images in each file.  
Please refer to Scanning with Job Separation on page 121 for detailed information about scanning  
with job separation, and how it works with other options in OneTouch.  
Use custom file naming—select this option to enable the input field so that you can specify the file  
name for your scanned document(s). You can specify a different file name for each OneTouch button.

Technical Note  
Some destination application links, such as the NewSoft Presto! BizCard software, require a specific  
filename format for the images that have been sent to the link to open correctly in the application. For  
example, when scanning duplex, if the image token {#03b} is not included in the filename, then each  
image sent will be regarded as a separate scan, and instead of one file with 2 pages you will have 2  
files. As each destination application link is different, there is no standard filename type you can create  
to use for all destinations. If you scan and the images are not grouped in the file(s) as needed, try  
deselecting Use custom file naming and then scan again.

Side—click once on the word Front to show the Side option list. If you are using a simplex (one-sided)  
scanner, only the Front option will be available. If your scanner supports duplex (two-sided) scanning,  
the options Front, Back, and Both will be available in the list.  
Front—this is the Simplex side of the page. The area(s) specified for the Front will only apply to  
the Simplex side of the page when scanning in Duplex. Therefore, if you scan 4 double-sided  
pages, the resulting image file(s) will have redacted areas on pages 1, 3, 5, and 7.  
Back—this is the Duplex side of the page. The area(s) specified for the Back will only apply to the  
Duplex side of the page when scanning in Duplex. Therefore, if you scan 4 double-sided pages, the  
resulting image file(s) will have redacted areas on pages 2, 4, 6, and 8.  
Both—select this option if you want to specify an area that appears in the same place on both  
sides of the page, such as a company logo, so you don’t have to specify the same area separately  
for both the front and back.

File Formats  
The available file formats, in the Select format panel, are based on the selected destination for  
scanning. For example, if scanning to the destination Transfer to Storage, all file formats are available  
as the files are saved directly to a folder without opening any application. If the destination is an  
application, such as Microsoft’s Paint, only the file types the application supports will be available in  
the Select format panel.  
Most of the format icons have a right-click menu to select file format specific options, or choose  
additional formats that are not represented in the panel by default.  
The format names in the Select format panel indicates the file type extension for the scanned file.  
Text Formats; TEXT is  
only one of several text  
formats available.  
Image Formats. The BMP, JPG, and PDF  
image formats have right-click menu  
options.  
Create Single Image Files  
The TIFF and PDF formats, as well as the text file formats, support multiple page documents in a single  
file. If you are scanning as a TIFF or PDF format, or as one of the text formats, and want one file  
created for each image scanned, select Create single image files. Note that this option is automatically  
selected and disabled if you have selected a format that only supports single pages, such as BMP, PNG,  
GIF, JPG, or JP2.

Image Formats  
Select an image file format for photos, artwork or other documents that you want to save as images.  
BMP and TIFF are standard image file formats generally used if you want to do additional image  
processing, such as photo touch-up or color correction.  
Right-click on the BMP icon to access the GIF and PNG image formats. When you select either of these  
formats, the format panel will change the BMP icon to the selected image format icon.  
BMP—the *.bmp (bitmap) format is generally used when you want to do additional  
image processing, such as photo touch-up or color correction, as very little image  
compression is used when creating the file. When scanning in color or grayscale, BMP  
scans result in the largest file size of the image formats.  
GIF—the *.gif (graphics interchange format) format is generally used when putting  
images on a website or server, as image compression can reduce the file size by  
approximately 95% when compared to a BMP file of the same image. Company logos  
and small pictures on a webpage are often GIF images. The GIF compression, and  
limited color range, can result in the medium and large images looking grainy or  
pixilated.  
PNG—the *.png (portable network graphics) format is another common image format  
for website graphics. Like GIF, the PNG compression greatly reduces the file size when  
compared to a BMP file of the same image. However, the PNG compression is different  
from GIF compression in that PNG images look better when scaled. Therefore, PNG is  
often used in place of GIF for company logos with a lot of detail, clickable buttons,  
medium sized pictures, and so on.  
TIFF—the *.tif (tagged image file format) format is another image type that is often  
used for photo editing. When scanning in color, it produces a file of similar quality and  
size to a BMP file. However, when scanning in Black & White, the TIF compression  
produces the smallest file size of all the image types without losing image quality. TIFF  
also supports multi-page image files.

Right-click on the JPG icon to access the JP2 image format. When you select JP2, the format panel will  
change the JPG icon to the JP2 format icon.  
JPG—the *.jpg (joint photographic experts group) format is a common image format  
for transferring pictures electronically, such as posting to a website or sending via email,  
as JPG image files are smaller than BMP and TIFF files. You can change the level of  
compression for the picture file to have better quality or a smaller file size.  
JP2—the *.jpg2 (joint photographic experts group 2000) format is the new JPEG  
standard. This new JPG file type has improved compression for better image quality at  
smaller file sizes. Please refer to the official JPEG website at www.jpeg.org for more  
information about this file format, and a list of applications that can view and/or open  
this file type.  
To select a JPEG file size:  
1. Select JPG as the page format.  
2. Right-click on the JPG icon.  
A menu opens.  
3. Choose the file size/image quality option for your scanned images.  
Minimize Size—smallest file size, lowest image quality.  
Normal—medium file size, some loss of image quality.  
Maximize Quality—largest file size, minimal loss of image quality.  
Your selection pertains only to the button currently selected on the OneTouch Properties window.  
Other buttons that have JPG selected as the file format are not affected, so you can set the JPG  
file size/image quality independently for each button.

Right-click on the PDF format icon to change the image quality or select the option to make the  
scanned PDF file PDF-A compliant.  
PDF—the *.pdf (portable document format) image format is often used to create  
images of text pages. The image compression of PDF files creates relatively small file  
sizes when scanning multiple page files in color. While the TIFF image format also  
supports multiple page files, when scanning in color the TIFF files are often too large to  
be transferred electronically. The PDF file format is often used for posting multiple  
page files to websites, sending via email, and permanent storage. As with the JPG file  
format, you can change the PDF quality to reduce the file size or improve the image  
quality.

Adobe Reader , or other PDF viewer software, must be installed on your computer for

Using PDF-A when scanning as PDF, means the files are compliant with the ISO-19005-

this standard can be found at www.pdfa.org.

SharePoint  
The SharePoint destination link allows scans to be sent directly to a SharePoint site from OneTouch.  
Please contact your SharePoint site administrator for the server information you need to configure this  
link. Alternatively, have your site administrator or IT professional configure this link for you. Setup and  
configuration of the SharePoint sites and user accounts are outside the scope of this document.  
Supported file types—all image and text file formats, except HTML, are available when scanning to the  
SharePoint site. Note that text file formats are only available if an OCR module or application is  
installed. Please refer to Text Formats on page 74 to see a list of text file formats that are available  
when OCR is installed.  
Destination type—the SharePoint 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.  
All configuration of the SharePoint server is done using the SharePoint settings tab in the Scan  
Configuration Properties window.

Text Editors  
Scanning to a text editing application, such as Microsoft’s Notepad or WordPad, automatically  
converts the text in the scanned image into editable text using Optical Character Recognition (OCR).  
Supported file types—the text file formats and destination applications are only available if an OCR  
module or application is installed. Please refer to Text Formats on page 74 to see a list of text file  
formats that are available when OCR is installed. Additionally, the available file formats are application  
specific, for example Microsoft’s WordPad can open *.txt and *.rtf files, so only those two file types will  
be available when scanning to WordPad.  
Note that when there is no OCR module or application installed, the format panel will not contain a  
text icon and there will be no text editor applications in the Select destination list.  
Destination type—this destination type is classified as a “Text Based Link”. To make it available in the  
destination list, you must select Text editing applications on the Options tab in the OneTouch  
Properties window. If the text editing application you are using does not appear in the Select  
destination list, you can add the application using the Text Documents OneTouch Link Properties  
window.

HTML Formatted file—select this option when you want to scan to your web browser for  
posting HTML pages to a website. Even though word processing applications, such as  
Notepad and Word can open *.htm files, you cannot scan as *.htm to word processing text  
editors. Scanning as HTML creates a directory with the *.htm file and linked images for  
website use. Word processing applications cannot accept a directory structure for image and  
text transfer.  
Rich Text Format—select this option if your application can open *.rtf files, which are plain  
text documents that contain formatting. Microsoft’s WordPad application is a compatible  
application for the *.rtf file formation.  
Standard ASCII text file—select this option if you want to have plain text, without formatting,  
sent to your text editing application. Most text editing applications will accept plain text  
(*.txt) files.  
Adobe PDF format—select this option if you are adding a PDF viewing or editing application  
to the list. This PDF format is an image format only, it will not recognize the document using  
OCR, and you will not be able to search or edit the text in the final file. The application you  
are adding must be able to open *.pdf files.

Supported file types—applications in the PDF destination group support the *.pdf file format. When the  
OmniPage module or software is installed, OneTouch includes an option to scan as sPDF or nPDF.  
Selecting either of these two formats still creates a *.pdf file, but the “s” and “n” letters indicate that  
OCR will process the image before sending the file to the PDF application.  
sPDF—this format creates a *.pdf file that contains the original image of the scanned page, with a  
hidden text layer that allows you to search for text in the file.  
nPDF—this format creates a *.pdf file that can be edited in a PDF application. Any pictures in the  
scanned image are isolated from the text, the text on the page is recognized and turned into  
editable text, and the pictures are placed back into the document in the same flow as the original  
document.  
Destination type—this destination type is classified as “PDF Link”. To make it available in the  
destination list, you must select PDF applications on the Options tab in the OneTouch Properties  
window.  
If the PDF application you are using does not appear in the Select destination list, you can add the  
application using the Text Documents OneTouch Link Properties window.  
1. Click on the Options tab in the OneTouch Properties window.  
2. Make sure PDF applications and Text editing applications are selected then click back on the  
button tab.  
Please note that any PDF application you add manually to OneTouch will be classified as a “Text  
Based Link.” These applications will only show in the destination list when Text editing  
applications are enabled.

Launch application for every image—when this option is selected, the application will open one  
time for each image scanned. You should deselect this option only if the application you are  
scanning to will accept multiple page files.  
For example, Microsoft’s Paint application can only accept 1 image at a time, so when scanning  
multiple images, Paint would open each time an image is transferred when this option is selected.  
On the other hand, Microsoft’s WordPad will open a multiple page file, so when scanning multiple  
images WordPad would need to launch only one time when this option is not selected. If you scan  
to WordPad and this option is still selected, then WordPad will open 1 time for each image  
transferred.  
Command line arguments—input the options that are to be used when the application is launched.  
These values are application specific and you should only input values that were provided to you  
by the application developer. Command line arguments are not required for you to use this link,  
the field can be left blank and you can change the other settings in this section as needed.  
Append scan filename(s) to arguments—this option adds the name of every image file to the end of  
the list of arguments specified above. This is the default selection as most applications do not  
require, and may not work with, a job file containing the image names.  
Append job file to arguments—this option adds the name of a job file to the end of the list of  
arguments specified above. This unique file is created at scan time and contains a list of every  
image in the scan job. Only select this option if you are sure that the application you are scanning  
to can use the job file to accept image transfer.

Scanning with Job Separation  
Use job separation to have OneTouch 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 OneTouch will separate each  
statement into a different file based on your selected job separator.  
1. Open the OneTouch Properties window.  
2. Select the Destination Application, File Format, and Scan Configuration applicable to your  
scanning batch.  
Make sure the option Create single image files is not selected. If this option is selected, the job  
separation features on the Options tab will be disabled.  
3. Click on the Options tab in the OneTouch Properties window.  
4. Click on the down arrow next to the Select Button list to select the button you want to modify.  
Note that the options in this window are specific to each OneTouch button.

5. Click on the option Use job separator when scanning multiple pages.  
6. 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.  
When you are scanning in Duplex mode, both sides of the page must be blank for this job  
separation option to work.  
Sensitivity—you can adjust the sensitivity level of the blank page detection. For instance,  
depending on the paper weight, color mode, or image processing options selected, you might  
get varying results. Changing the sensitivity level allows you to fine-tune the accuracy of the  
blank page detection.  
When the number of images reaches—input the maximum number of images you want in the  
scanned file. The scanner will create a new file each time that number is reached.  
When you are scanning in Duplex mode, the number of images captured is double the number of  
pages in the scanner. For example, if you are scanning 12 double-sided pages it is counted as 24  
images. If you want the stack split in half, the number of images reached would be 12.  
7. When you are done making changes, click on OK to save the changes and close the window.  
8. Place your documents in the scanner and start scanning.  
When scanning is finished, each file will be sent to the destination location or application you have  
selected on the button tab.

The options on the Page Settings tab, in the Scan Configuration Properties window will affect the job  
separation options as described below:  
Skip blank originals  
The Sensitivity you set for this feature is the one that is used when scanning. The sensitivity level  
you set in the Options tab will be ignored.  
When you are scanning in Simplex mode and the selected job separator is When a blank page is  
detected, the job separation occurs first and a new file will be created each time a blank page is  
detected. If you want a single file created with the blank page discarded, deselect the job  
separation feature on the Options tab.  
Note that when scanning Duplex, both sides of the page must be blank for the job separation to  
occur. If both sides of a scanned page are blank, the job separation occurs first and a new file will  
be created each time a blank page is detected. If you want a single file created with the blank  
page discarded, deselect the job separation feature on the Options tab or remove the blank page  
from your scanning batch.  
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. If the original documents are of poor quality or  
have a small type font, 400 dpi can be used as the maximum resolution.  
The OneTouch OmniPage Module must be installed on your computer in order to use the OCR options  
with the OneTouch software and your Xerox scanner. The OneTouch OmniPage Module was  
automatically installed when you installed your driver from the installation disc.  
NOTE: Some of the illustrations in this section may not look exactly as they appear on  
your computer’s screen. The differences are minor and do not affect the steps to use  
the new features.  
To scan with OCR:  
1. Open the OneTouch Properties window.  
2. Select a text editing program in the Select Destination list, then select a text file format in the  
Select format panel.  
For example, if you want to edit your document in Microsoft’s WordPad, select that application  
then choose a file format such as TEXT or RTF.  
3. Click on OK to save the changes and close the OneTouch Properties window.

4. Press or click the OneTouch button you set to scan with OCR.  
Your scanned pages appear in the Destination Application with the text ready for editing and  
other text processing.  
Text Formats  
You select the text format option by clicking on the text icon on the OneTouch 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.  
As you select Destination Applications that are text applications, the text format icon changes to  
match the file type of the application. In some cases, the Destination Application supports several file  
types, and you can right-click on the icon to choose the particular file type for that application.  
The specific file format is the file name extension on the text format icon.  
The specific text format; this  
example is for Rich Text Format  
(.rtf).

Your selection of a file type pertains only to the Destination Application currently selected on the  
OneTouch Properties window. Other Destination Applications that have a text option selected as  
the Page Format are not affected.  
Simple Text—the .txt file format. Text with no formatting; used by the standard  
Microsoft Notepad application.  
Rich Text Format—the .rtf file format. Text that retains formatting when  
converted. Available with Microsoft WordPad and Word.  
Word Document—the .doc file format used by Microsoft Word.  
Comma Delimited—the .csv file format; used for database or spreadsheet data  
with fields, when the document is converted into editable text the fields are  
maintained.  
Excel Spreadsheet—the .xls file format used by Microsoft Excel.  
HTML Document—the .htm file format used to create web pages.  
Searchable PDF—the .pdf file format used by Adobe Acrobat. This format  
converts scanned text into PDF with an invisible text layer for searching.

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.  
NOTE: Documents scanned with nPDF and sPDF automatically include OCR  
processing. If the processing does not recognize a large number of the text characters  
in the document, change the image quality setting and re-scan the document. For  
example, change from Minimize Size to Normal to see if the text recognition improves.  
The Use MRC option is a special processing procedure for documents scanned with the PDF format.  
Use MRC—MRC stands for Mixed Raster Content. MRC is an advanced technique for optimizing  
the image quality of scanned documents. Without MRC, the scanned image is produced using a  
single process to capture and display the image on the computer screen, even if the document  
contains both text and graphics. With MRC, the image is produced using separate processes for  
text, graphics, and other elements on the document page. The result is clearer graphics and  
sharper text characters. Scans with Use MRC selected may take slightly longer to complete the  
processing. Select Use MRC for documents with harder-to-read text or lower-quality graphics to get  
the best possible scan output image. The Use MRC option is available for sPDF and PDF.

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. For faster and more reliable language  
recognition, select only the languages in the documents.  
The languages are in alphabetical order. Type the first letter of a language’s name to jump to  
its section in the list.  
Use languages and dictionaries to improve accuracy—select this option to automatically check  
the validity of the recognized words. An OCR engine looks at each letter or symbol on the  
page individually, then “guesses” what the letter or symbol is based on the shape. Therefore,  
the OCR engine may have more than one guess for a particular letter or symbol, a “best  
guess”, a “second-best guess”, and so on. This option tells the OCR engine to look through the  
dictionary to validate its best guess for the letters in that word; if its best guess is not in the  
dictionary, it checks for the second-best guess, and so on.  
For example, if the word “house” appears in the original document but the OCR engine is  
75% sure that the “o” is actually an “a”, the finished document would have the word “hause”.  
Turning this option on tells the OCR engine to look at the other letters in the word, check to  
see which version of the word is in the dictionary, and output the correct word “house” in the  
final document.  
The OCR engine does not automatically correct misspelled words that were present in the  
original document.  
When dictionaries are selected, the terms in those dictionaries are used to check the spelling.  
If this is option is not selected, User Dictionaries and Professional Dictionaries cannot be  
selected.

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. This way, as the OCR process recognizes each  
letter or symbol, there is a higher chance that the technical term or name will be correctly  
spelled in the final document. You can create multiple user dictionaries. See the section  
Click the menu arrow and select a user dictionary from the list.  
If you select [none] as the user dictionary, the text will be validated using the terms in the  
dictionaries for the selected languages, as well as any professional dictionaries if they are  
selected.  
The label [current] is next to the currently-select user dictionary.  
Professional Dictionaries—these are legal and medical dictionaries containing highly  
specialized words and phrases. The options are: Dutch Legal, Dutch Medical, English  
Financial, English Legal, English Medical, French Legal, French Medical, German Legal, and  
German Medical. Select the appropriate dictionary for the OCR engine to use to validate the  
scanned text.  
Reject Character—this is the character that the OCR process inserts for an unrecognizable text  
character. For example, if the OCR process cannot recognize the J in REJECT, and ~ is the  
reject character, the word would appear as RE~ECT in your document. The ~ is the default  
reject character.  
Type the character you want to use in the Reject Character box. Try to choose a character that  
will not appear in your documents.  
Missing Character—this is the character that the OCR process inserts for a missing text  
character. A missing text character is one that the OCR process recognizes, but cannot  
represent because that character is not available for the selected language. For example, if  
the document contains the text symbol “Ç” but the OCR process cannot represent that  
character, then every place “Ç” appears, the OCR process substitutes the missing character  
symbol. The caret (^) is the default symbol for the missing character.  
Type the character you want to use in the Missing Character box. Try to choose a character  
that will not appear in your documents.  
Recognition Quality—drag the slider to the left or right to set the degree of accuracy for the  
OCR process. The higher the accuracy, the longer the OCR process requires to complete. For  
clean, highly-legible documents, you can set the recognition quality to a lower level to  
produce results more quickly.  
2. Click OK or Apply.  
These options will now apply to the OCR processing when you select any text format as the page  
format.  
Creating Your Own Dictionaries  
You can create multiple dictionaries for your personal use. For example, you might have different  
dictionaries for separate work projects, especially if each project uses different acronyms and  
terminology.

To create a personal dictionary:  
1. Open any word processing program, such as Microsoft Word, WordPad, or Notepad.  
2. Create a new document in the word processing program.  
3. Type each word you want in your new dictionary, followed by a carriage return. Make sure to spell  
the words correctly as they will be used for spellchecking.  
Here is an example of what the text file might look like:  
Xerox  
OneTouch  
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. Note also that the words do not need to be alphabetized.  
4. Save the document in the .txt format and give the file the name that you want for the dictionary.  
For example, give it the name USERDIC1.  
5. Now open the OCR Options window.  
6. On the OCR Options window, click the button next to the menu arrow.

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.  
Single column no table—choose this option if the document contains only one column of text  
and no tables. Business letters are normally in this form. You can also use this option for  
documents with words or numbers in columns if you do not want them placed in a table or  
decolumnized or treated as separate columns.  
Multiple columns, no table—choose this option if some document pages contain text in  
columns and you want it kept in separate columns, similar to the original layout. If table-like  
data is encountered, it is placed in columns, not in a gridded table.  
Single column with table—choose this option if your document contains only one column of  
text and a table. The table will be placed in a grid in the Destination Application you have  
selected. You can later specify whether to export it in a grid or as tab-separated text columns.  
Spreadsheet—choose this option if the entire document consists of a table that you want to  
export to a spreadsheet program, or have treated as a table. No flowing text or graphics will  
be detected.  
Output Format Options  
Automatic—the document will be formatted as close to its original as possible. The OneTouch  
software will adjust its settings to the most appropriate for the document being scanned in  
order to match your selected output format. The output quality will be maximized and the  
processing time minimized.  
No formatting—the document will be plain text, one column, left-aligned in a single font and  
font size. You can then export the plain text to nearly all file types and target applications.

Retain fonts and paragraphs—this output format retains the font and paragraph styling,  
including graphics and tables without columnized text, but does not retain layout formatting.  
If the document is being scanned as an Excel spreadsheet, each detected table or  
spreadsheet becomes a separate worksheet, while other content is placed on the last  
worksheet.  
Flowing page—this format preserves the original layout of the pages, including columns. This  
is done wherever possible with column and indent settings, but not with text boxes or frames.  
Text will then flow from one column to the other, which does not happen when text boxes 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. The  
Spreadsheet output option is only available for documents scanned with the XLS format.  
2. Click OK or Apply.  
These options will now apply to the OCR processing when you select any text format as the page  
format.

OneTouch with Visioneer Acuity Technology  
The OneTouch 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 OneTouch scan settings to produce the best quality  
images.  
This section explains how to use the Visioneer Acuity features when choosing new scan settings for  
your scanner.  
The Acuity options appear on the Scan Configuration Properties window that you use to create a new  
scan configuration for your scanner.  
Click the Acuity Settings tab to see the new options  
available for your scanner.

2. Click the New button to create a new configuration, or select one of your custom configurations  
you created earlier and click the Edit button.  
3. Click the Acuity Settings tab to see the new Acuity settings.  
4. Choose the Visioneer Acuity options for the scan configuration.  
5. Click the drop-down arrow to choose the type of Acuity settings to use for the new scan  
configuration. The options are:  
Do not use Acuity image processing—scanning will not use the Acuity processing.  
Default settings—automatically selects the options your scanner can use with any scan mode  
(Black&White, Grayscale, and Color).  
6. Select the options for scanning.  
AutoCrop to original—Select this option to let the software automatically determine the size  
of the item being scanned.  
Straighten image—Select this option to have the software automatically determine if a page  
is skewed, then straighten its image. If the page is scanned at too great an angle, the image  
may not straighten correctly. In that case, re-scan the page.

Auto detect color—Determines if a document contains color or not and produces the  
appropriate scanned image. Typically, Auto Color Detect is used when you have a stack of  
pages to scan, some color and others not. Instead of you having to change the scan settings  
from Color to Black&White and back again, the scanner can choose the correct settings  
automatically.  
Skip blank originals—Recognizes when a page is blank and removes its image. For instance, if  
you are scanning a stack of pages that includes a blank page, its image will not be included  
with the other images from the stack.  
Rotate image—Select an option in this list to have the final image rotated when scanning is  
complete.  
Perform edge cleanup—Select this option to have the software remove any thin lines that may  
be around the edges in the scanned image. Edge Cleanup only applies if AutoCrop and  
AutoDeskew are selected so the software can determine where the edges are located.  
Therefore, selecting Edge Cleanup will also select AutoCrop and AutoDeskew. This option is  
only available when scanning in Black&White.  
Despeckle—Speckles are small spots on an image that the scanner interpreted as a valid part  
of the document. The Despeckle option identifies these spots and removes them. This option  
is only available when scanning in Black&White.  
Color dropout—color dropout is the ability of your scanner to automatically remove a color  
from a scanned image. For example, if you are scanning a letter with a red watermark, you  
can choose to filter out the red so the scanned letter just shows the text and not the red  
watermark. Color dropout applies to Black & White or Grayscale scanning modes.  
Bit depth reduction—Click the drop down menu and select an option from the list. The Bit  
depth reduction options are only available when scanning in black and white.  
Error diffusion, Bayer, and Halftone patterns are the intentional application of noise  
(dithering) in the image to help alleviate banding when scanning in binary (black and white)  
mode. For example, if you scan a color photo in black and white, the image file will have large  
blocks of black and white and the image barely recognizable. Dithering the image creates a  
black and white image that is recognizable.  
Dynamic threshold attempts to evaluate the scanned page and automatically adjust the  
brightness and contrast levels to produce the best quality image when scanning in black and  
white.

Accessing the Scanner Interface  
Every scanning application will access the scanner using a different method. Below is a brief list of  
common applications and how to initiate a scan from within that application, including some of the  
applications which may have been provided with your scanner. Please refer to the application’s user  
guide for instructions on using the application and accessing the scanner.  
Visioneer OneTouch: Open the Visioneer OneTouch properties window and under the configuration  
list select Configure Before Scan. Click on OK to save the changes and close Visioneer OneTouch.  
The next time you scan using that button, the scanner interface will open for you to set the scan  
options and start scanning.  
Nuance PaperPort: On the toolbar click on the scanner icon to open the scan pane on the left side  
of the PaperPort desktop. Click on the Select... button to open the scanner selection window. Select  
either the TWAIN or WIA driver for your scanner model and then click OK. If you get a message  
that the scanner is not in the PaperPort database, follow the instruction on-screen to run the  
Scanner Setup Wizard.  
Nuance OmniPage: Go to Tools, then select Options.... Click on the Scanner tab, then click on Setup.  
Follow the instructions on-screen to setup OmniPage to work with the scanner.  
Choosing TWAIN or WIA  
A note about your scanner and the TWAIN standard:  
TWAIN is a widely recognized standard that computers use to receive images from scanners and  
digital cameras. The TWAIN scanning interface can be accessed from any TWAIN scanning application  
you have installed on the computer. The driver interface described herein is the TWAIN driver that has  
been developed for your scanner. However, there are some applications that have their own TWAIN  
interface. If you are scanning from a software application, and see the interface shown in this section,  
you can use these instructions to scan with the TWAIN interface. If you do not see this TWAIN  
interface, please refer to your scanning application’s user guide for instructions.  
A note about your scanner and Microsoft WIA (Windows Image Acquisition):  
The WIA platform has been developed to enable image transfer from devices using standard Windows  
applications, such as Paint or Windows Fax and Scan, without the need to install additional scanning  
software. Microsoft has developed its own interface for using the scanner with the Windows  
applications, as well as any other WIA compatible applications you may have installed. However, when  
using a WIA 2.0 compatible application, the default behavior will display the TWAIN interface as  
described in this document. You can change the driver behavior to show the Windows interface instead  
of the custom interface described herein. Please refer to Driver Settings for the Hardware Properties  
and Interface Behavior on page 186 for more information.  
Please refer to your Windows documentation for WIA scanning instructions if you do not see the  
interface described below, or if you have any questions regarding Windows scanning applications.

Using the Preview Window  
Clicking the Preview button will display the preview window for the scanner interface. Use the preview  
option if you want to scan and display a sample image that reflects the current settings in the main  
interface. After the preview is displayed, you can then adjust the settings in the main interface until  
you are happy with how the sample image looks. The preview window is also where you can define  
custom scan regions. Please refer to Scan Regions for instructions on creating and scanning custom  
regions.  
To use the preview window:  
1. Select the initial scan settings you want to use for the preview image and scanning.  
If you want to modify the settings for a particular preset, make sure you select that preset before  
continuing.  
2. Click the Preview button to open the preview window.  
If there is a page in the scanner, the scanner will scan and display a sample image in the preview  
window. If you do not have a page in the scanner when you click Preview, the preview window will  
open and display an empty scan area. You will need to place a page in the scanner and click Get  
preview to scan and display a sample image.  
3. The preview window displays the scan area and the current scan region. This scan region reflects  
the paper size currently selected in the main interface. When you pass the mouse cursor over the  
scan region it will highlight for you to move or resize it. If you move, resize, or add scan regions the  
main interface will display User defined for the page size. Please refer to Scan Regions for  
instructions on creating, resizing and deleting regions.

4. Click Show main UI to bring the main scanner interface in front of the preview window for you to  
adjust the scan settings.  
There are some settings in the main interface, such as brightness and contrast, which will  
immediately update the preview image after you adjust the setting. Other settings, such as  
changing from color scanning to black and white scanning, will not automatically update the  
sample image.  
If you select any of the document image adjustment options, such as an option to automatically  
crop, straighten or rotate an image, it will not show in the sample image preview. The preview  
window displays an unaltered view of the item size and position in the scanner. Any document  
image adjustment options will be used while scanning and saving images.  
5. After you adjust the scan settings, click Refresh preview to get a new sample image that reflects  
the most current settings in the main interface.  
6. When you are happy with the sample image, you can click Scan in the preview window or in the  
main interface to scan and save the image with the current scan settings.

When you scan, any settings you adjusted are automatically saved to the Last used settings preset.  
These settings are not retained in a preset until you click Save in the main interface to save the settings  
to the current preset, or save them to a new preset using the Save as dialogue. If you select a different  
preset from the Presets list before scanning, the changes you made will be discarded.  
Scan Regions  
You can use the preview window to create custom scan regions for the scanner to use for scanning. For  
example, if you want to scan only a specific area of the image, you can move and resize a scan region  
to focus only on the area you want to scan. The final image will be only the size of the region you set.  
Important: do not change the page size for the scanned image after you create custom regions. When  
you have set a custom region in the preview window, the page size field will display “user defined”  
indicating you have specified one or more custom regions for scanning. Changing the page size after  
you create a custom region discards the custom regions and sets a single scan region to the size you  
selected in the page size list.  
Creating custom scan regions:  
1. Select the preset you want to use for scanning.  
2. In the main interface click Preview to open the preview window.  
If no previous custom scan regions have been created for the preset you selected, the preview  
window will have a single scan region that is the page size for the current preset. This region will be  
labeled number 1 and be displayed as an outline in the preview area.  
3. Place an item in the scanner and then click Get preview.  
4. The scanner scans and displays a sample image.

5. Move or resize region 1 until the sample image area you want is within the scan region.  
Resize the region by clicking on one edge of the region outline and dragging the mouse. Move the  
region by clicking in the region then dragging the mouse. Please refer to Move, Resize, or Delete  
Regions for detailed instructions.  
6. Create additional scan regions as needed by clicking anywhere in the sample image, hold your  
mouse button down, and then drag your mouse to create a scan region. Release the mouse button  
when the area you want is within the rectangle.  
If you want to create a region that overlaps another region, hold the Ctrl (control) key on the  
keyboard while you click and drag the mouse to create the region. You can release the Ctrl key  
after you start creating the overlapping region. You only need to hold down the Ctrl key if the  
starting point of the overlapping region is over another region. If you do not hold down the Ctrl  
key, when you click on the area that has already been set as a region you will move the existing  
region.

the preview window. Click on View or modify custom regions in the summary area to display the  
preview window.  
9. Click Scan in the main interface to scan using the custom regions.  
10. When scanning is finished, one image is created for each region set in the preview window.  
The number of scan regions you can create is limited by the scanner model and installed modules. For  
instance, most scanners have only one region. When you select a paper size in the Page size list, or  
input the dimensions in the custom page size fields, you are setting a scan region.  
When Visioneer Acuity is installed, you can create multiple scan regions for each image scanned. The  
maximum number of scan regions you can create when Visioneer Acuity is installed may vary between  
scanner models. When creating scan regions and you reach the maximum number of allowable scan  
regions, you will not be able to continue creating scan regions until you remove a region you have  
already created.

Document Source Configuration  
Some options in the interface may be grayed out and cannot be selected. Grayed out options are either  
not appropriate for the current scanner, the software needed to enable the feature is not installed, or  
the feature is dependent on another setting in the scanner's interface. Hover the mouse cursor over a  
grayed out feature to see information about why the feature is unavailable.  
Select Basic or Advanced from the list to show the basic or advanced document source configuration  
options as described below.  
Basic Options  
Auto source—when scanning in basic mode, this option is always enabled and cannot be changed.  
Duplex—select this option to scan both sides of the item in the scanner.  
Click the drop down menu to select the color mode you want to use.  
Color scans the document in color, creating a full color copy of an original document or  
photograph. Color scans have the largest file size.  
Gray scans the document using varying shades of gray to reproduce the document. The grayscale  
scan mode is often used when scanning documents or graphics where the original color does not  
need to be retained, but the graphics need to be legible. Grayscale scanning preserves the graphic  
quality while keeping the file size less than that of a full color scan.  
Black and White scans the document in bitonal where everything on the page is either black or  
white. This setting is often used when scanning typed or written documents. When there are not a  
lot of graphics, or if the graphics are not needed, this setting is ideal for archiving documents to a  
server or on a disc, send through email, or posting to a web page, as the file size is smaller than the  
other scanning modes.  
Advanced Options  
Auto source—select this option to have the scanner automatically determine where the paper is in  
the scanner. This option is only available if your scanner has more than one paper source option,  
such an ADF with a front feed tray scanner, or an ADF with a flatbed combination scanner. When  
this option is not selected, you can select which source you want to use in the scan mode list.

Resolution  
The resolution determines the amount of detail you can see in the scanned image. Resolution is the  
clarity of the image measured in dots-per-inch (dpi).  
Move the slider left or right to change the resolution for the scanned image. The higher the resolution,  
the clearer the image. However, high resolution scans also produce larger file sizes. The available range  
displayed in the slider area are within the minimum and maximum range supported by your scanner.  
The resolution slider will always display the correct range for the current scanner.  
Choosing resolution values  
Typically, when making copies of black and white documents, 100–150 dpi will create an image of  
similar quality to the original. When making copies of color documents or photographs, 150–200 dpi  
will create an image of similar quality to the original.  
Higher resolution settings are generally used for creating an image that can be enlarged without losing  
image quality, but take longer to scan.  
Some resolution settings for typically scanned items are:  
Text document letters, forms, or other typed black and white documents – 100 dpi to 150 dpi  
Text document letters or forms with hand printed text – 150 dpi

Document Size  
Standard document sizes  
Click the drop down menu and select a pre-defined document size from the list. The available  
document sizes are within the scanner's range of minimum and maximum item size.  
Custom document sizes  
Select the measurement units you want to use from the Units list.  
If the Document size list does not include the document size for your scanning batch, click in one of the  
fields below the document size list. Input the width of the document in the first field, then input the  
height in the second field.  
You can input a maximum of 14 or 17 inches in the height field. Please refer to Long Document if your  
scanner supports page lengths greater than 14 or 17 inches and you want to scan long pages.  
You can only specify values within the scanner's minimum and maximum supported item size. Please  
refer to the maintenance section of the scanner user's guide for this information.  
Long Document  
Select Long document to enable support of paper sizes up to the scanner maximum. After you select  
this option make sure you input the page length for your document in the custom input field, located  
below the Document size selection list.

Note that some of the options in the scanner interface cannot be used when the page length will be  
greater than 14 or 17 inches. When you select this option, incompatible options will either be  
automatically disabled or the setting will simply be discarded while scanning.  
Straighten Image  
Select this option to let the scanner automatically determine if a page is skewed, then straighten its  
image. This option is only available if the scanner supports this feature.  
If you are scanning using an automatic document feeder, and the page is fed through at too great of  
an angle, the image may not straighten correctly. In that case, re-scan the page making sure the paper  
guides are adjusted to the width of the pages in the input tray so that the pages are pulled straight  
through the scanner.  
Rotate Image  
Select an option in this list to have the final image rotated when scanning is complete.  
Flip Back Side  
Select this option if you are scanning duplex pages that are calendar style orientation. This option will  
rotate the back side image 180 degrees from the front side. When scanning in duplex mode without  
this option selected, the back side image of calendar orientation pages will appear upside down in the  
final scan. This option does not automatically determine book page orientation versus calendar page  
orientation. If you have this option selected when scanning book orientation pages, the image for the  
back side of the page will appear upside down in the final scan. If you are scanning a batch of  
documents that contain both types of orientation, we recommend that you select Automatic in the  
Rotate image list.  
This option is available only if the current scanner supports duplex scanning and the Duplex option is  
selected in the scanning interface.  
Merge Two Sides  
When scanning in duplex mode, you can enable this option to have both sides of a scanned item  
appear on one page in the final image file. The options in the list allow you to select where you want  
the front side image to appear in relation to the back side image in the final file.

The following image shows a cheque scanned in duplex mode without Merge two sides enabled, and  
the same cheque scanned with Merge two sides enabled. When Merge two sides is not enabled, side 1  
and side 2 of the cheque are saved in two separate files (IMG_0001 and IMG_0002 respectively).  
With Merge two sides enabled, both sides of the cheque are in a single file (IMG_0003). If you are  
scanning a stack of items using a multipage file format, such as a PDF file, then each page in the final  
file will have both the front and back images of the scanned items.  
Height threshold  
Input the maximum height of images to be merged. The sides will not be merged if the height of  
either the front or rear image exceeds this value. For example, if you are scanning a batch of mixed  
documents such as cheques and statements, you may want both sides of the cheques merged into one  
image but not the statements. The Height threshold needs to be lower than the length of the  
documents you do not want merged into a single file.  
Select one of the options in the Merge two sides list to enable this field. Note that you will also need to  
enable Long document if you want to have the maximum height threshold be longer than 17 inches  
(431 mm).  
Advanced Panel Options  
The options in this panel may also appear in the Main panel, but with additional settings for you to

Skip Blank Originals  
Select this option to have the scanner detect if a blank page has been fed through the scanner, and  
remove it from the final file. Typically you might use this option when scanning a stack of two-sided  
pages which have a number of blank sides.  
Blank threshold—you can use the Threshold slider to fine tune the sensitivity of the blank image  
detection. The results will depend on the scan settings and the types of documents being scanned.  
In general leave the threshold level at the default setting if you are scanning good-quality  
documents printed on standard 20lb printer paper. Try lowering the sensitivity level if your  
documents contain light colored text or drawings so those pages are not detected as blank. Raise  
the sensitivity level if you are scanning double-sided light-weight paper where images from the  
opposite side of the page may appear in the image of the blank side.  
Clean Up Edges  
Select this option to remove any thin lines from around the edges of the final scan. This option will fill  
the margins of the image with the detected edge color. When you select this option, the Width input  
field will automatically enable for you to input the size of the area you want to have filled with the  
background color. You can specify a fill size between approximately 0.04 to 0.39 inches (1 mm to 10  
mm).  
Automatic Image Cropping  
Depending on the scanner model and installed software, there may be more than one auto cropping  
option in the interface.  
Crop to original—select this option to let the scanner automatically determine the size of the item  
being scanned. This option is only available if the scanner supports this feature. This option may  
occasionally be grayed out as not all scanning applications support this feature.  
Always properly adjust the paper guides to the width of the paper in the input tray so that the  
pages feed into the scanner as straight as possible. Skewed pages may not crop properly.  
Crop to length—this option tells the scanner to crop the final image to the bottom of the page  
being scanned. This option is only available if the scanner supports this feature. This option may  
occasionally be grayed out as not all scanning applications support this feature.  
Always properly adjust the paper guides to the width of the paper in the input tray so that the  
pages feed into the scanner as straight as possible. Skewed pages may not crop properly.  
Skew detection  
This option detects when a page has been fed through at an angle. Select an option from the drop  
menu to turn on this feature. When scanning, always make sure the paper guides have been properly  
adjusted to the width of the documents in the input tray. This helps to prevent the pages from being  
pulled through at an angle.

Brightness  
Brightness is the overall lightness of the image. Move the slider left or right to darken or lighten the  
image. Adjusting the brightness level adjusts the tone of the pixels, without changing the true color of  
the pixels; such as when adjusting hue.  
Choosing brightness values  
Adjusting the brightness level is based on how you want the image to appear and there is no standard  
to adhere to. Below are some recommended options for brightness image correction based on the  
original document quality.  
Original documents of good quality - 50%  
Pencil written letters, forms, or drawings - 25% to 40%  
Faded pictures or old documents with faded text - 35% to 45%  
Light colored carbon copy paper, such as yellow or pale pink or pale green, with light text - 45% to  
55%  
Newspaper or magazine pages - 55% to 70%  
Book pages - 55% to 80%  
Pictures taken inside or in the shade - 60% to 85%

Brightness works in conjunction with Contrast for image enhancement. When you are adjusting the  
brightness level to improve the scanned image quality, try adjusting the contrast level as well. The  
contrast level is the range between the lightest and darkest parts of the image. For example, if you  
scanned a document with notes written in pencil, you may have to decrease the brightness level to get  
the handwritten notes to appear in the scanned image. However, when decreasing the brightness,  
white starts to appear gray in the image. In that case, raise the contrast level to make the differences  
between the lightest and darkest part of the image more defined.  
Color image brightness examples  
The examples below show the original image at the default setting of 50% brightness level, 25%  
brightness and 75% brightness. Adjusting the brightness level does not make the image completely  
black nor completely white.  
Brightness: 25%  
Technical note:  
Brightness: 50%  
Brightness: 75%  
Most monitors have a brightness setting that is user adjustable. When viewing scanned images on-  
screen, versus printing the image, the brightness setting of the monitor may affect how light or dark  
the scanned image looks when compared to the original. If the scanned image is too different from the  
original image, or if adjusting the scanned brightness level does not modify the image how you want,  
try adjusting the monitor's brightness level. Refer to the monitor's user guide for adjusting the  
brightness level and see if the manufacturer has any recommended settings.  
Black background scanners:  
Some scanners have a black background plate. A black background results in more precise cropping  
results and skew detection. However, when scanning thin paper, such as multipart color forms or ruled  
writing paper, which are less than 18lb paper weight, the background may “bleed” through into the  
final image and make the image darker than it should be. In that case, try adjusting the brightness  
level between 60% and 80%.  
Contrast  
Contrast refers to the differences between the light and dark portions in the image. Move the slider left  
or right to decrease or increase the contrast levels. Increasing the contrast level emphasizes the  
difference between the lighter and darker portions of the image, decreasing the contrast de-  
emphasizes that difference.

Choosing contrast values  
While Brightness adds the same amount of gray or white to all pixels in the image, Contrast adjusts the  
pixels based on the pixel color level. For instance, increasing the contrast level will add white to light  
colored pixels and gray to dark pixels to make the difference between color levels in the image crisper.  
Decreasing the contrast level will have the opposite affect, where light colored pixels are modified with  
gray and dark pixels are modified with white to make the transition of colors in the image appear  
smoother.  
Adjusting the contrast level is based on how you want the image to appear and there is no standard to  
adhere to. Contrast works in conjunction with brightness for image enhancement, when decreasing the  
brightness level, the overall image becomes darker, in which case you may want to increase the  
contrast level so that the differences between the lighter and darker portions of the image are clearer.  
Below are some recommended options for contrast image correction based on the original document  
quality.  
Original documents of good quality - 50%  
Pencil written letters, forms, or drawings - 55% to 65%  
Faded pictures or old documents with faded text - 60% to 70%  
Light colored carbon copy paper, such as yellow or pale pink or pale green, with light text - 45% to

level between 40% and 60%, then adjust the contrast level between 60% and 80%.  
Gamma  
Gamma is the tone curve and starting point for image enhancement. Move the slider left or right to  
darken or lighten the image. As you raise or lower the Gamma value, the values at which Brightness and  
Contrast affect the image are changed. It is recommended that you keep the default gamma value, or  
adjust this setting before adjusting the other options.  
Choosing gamma values  
As the gamma value is adjusted lower, the tone curve begins to straighten and the shadows of the  
image are expanded, darkening the shadows without overall darkening the image with gray as seen  
with lowering the brightness level. This way, the highlights and shadows in the image are maintained  
by saturating the pixels with darker levels of the same color rather than adding gray to all colors.  
As the gamma value is adjusted higher, the tone curve bends and the highlights of the image are  
expanded, lightening the highlights without overall lightening the image with white as seen with  
raising the brightness level. This way, the highlights and shadows in the image are maintained by  
saturating the pixels with lighter levels of the same color rather than just adding white.  
Adjusting the gamma level is based on how you want the image to appear and there is no standard to  
adhere to.  
Color image gamma examples  
The examples below show the original image at the default setting of 1.8 gamma level, then 1.0  
gamma and 2.6 gamma. Adjusting the gamma level does not make the image completely black nor  
completely white.  
Gamma: 1.0  
Gamma: 1.8  
Gamma: 2.6

Technical note:  
Most monitors have a gamma setting that is user adjustable. When viewing scanned images on-screen,  
versus printing the image, the gamma setting of the monitor may affect how light or dark the scanned  
image looks when compared to the original. If the scanned image is too different from the original  
image, or if adjusting the scanned gamma level does not modify the image how you want, try  
adjusting the monitor's gamma level. Refer to the monitor's user guide for adjusting the gamma level  
and see if the manufacturer has any recommended settings.  
Invert Image  
The Invert image option reverses the color of each pixel in the scanned image.  
When scanning in black and white, each pixel is reversed from black to white and white to black. When  
scanning in grayscale each pixel is reversed to the opposite level of gray. When scanning in color each  
pixel is reversed to the opposite color in the color wheel.  
For example, you might choose this option if you are scanning pages that have been printed from  
newspaper microfilm. Newspaper microfilm reverses black and white so that when viewed on a  
monitor, the text is white and the paper is black.  
The following example shows the original grayscale image and the inverted image.

Mirror Image  
The Mirror image option flips the image left-to-right.  
Bit Depth Reduction  
The Bit depth reduction options are only available when scanning in black and white. Click the drop  
down menu and select an option from the list.  
Threshold and Dynamic threshold  
Threshold enables you to set what level of light or dark to look for on a page. When scanning in black  
and white, everything on the page is set to either white pixels or black pixels in the final image. If the  
text on the page is a light color, then the text may be gone in the final image as the scanner will  
change those light colors to white pixels. The threshold slider lets you set the level of darkness or  
lightness of the text on the page. Dynamic threshold attempts to evaluate the image and dynamically  
adjust the threshold level. These options work best for documents that contain only text such as  
business letters, spreadsheets, reports, etc...  
Threshold—move the slider to the left or right to set the level of lightness or darkness for the  
scanner to leverage from.  
For example, if you are scanning a document with gray text, such as hand written pencil notes,  
move the slider to the right. This tells the scanner that the level to look for is light, and gray pixels  
are converted to black pixels instead of white. If the overall tone of the original document is dark,  
such as a colored background that may interfere with detecting black, move the slider left. This  
tells the scanner that the level to look for is dark, only very dark areas such as text are converted to  
black pixels.  
If you are scanning documents that are in good condition, with black text on a white background,  
the default threshold option will properly scan the item. This level only needs to be adjusted if the  
scanned image does not have image clarity similar to the original.  
Sensitivity—move the slider left or right to adjust the sensitivity level for dynamic thresholding.  
This slider is only enabled when Dynamic threshold is selected in the list.

Error diffusion, Bayer, and Halftone pattern  
Error diffusion, Bayer, and Halftone patterns are the intentional application of noise (dithering) in the  
image to help alleviate banding when scanning in binary (black and white) mode. For example, if you  
scan a color photo in black and white, the image file will have large blocks of black and white and the  
image barely recognizable. Dithering the image creates a black and white image that is recognizable.  
Below is an example of a color scan, a black and white scan without dithering, and a black and white  
scan with dithering. When the image is scaled down, it may look like a grayscale scan. When the image  
is at normal size or enlarged you will be able to clearly see the dithering pattern, as shown in the close-  
up image.

Color Dropout  
Color dropout tells the scanner and software to remove a specific color from the image. You can choose  
either Red, Green, or Blue, or define a custom color, to be dropped out of an image.  
To input a custom color using its RGB value, select Custom in this list and then input the values for R, G,  
and B in their appropriate boxes, where R, G, and B are numbers from 0 to 255.  
Tolerance—use the slider to adjust the precision of the color dropout.  
More precise—this option removes a range of colors closest to the pure color selected or defined in  
the custom fields. For example, pure red has an R/G/B value of 255/0/0. Selecting Red indicates  
that the scanner should look for a range of RGB reds close to pure red and remove them from the  
image.  
More approximate—this option removes a wider range of colors based on the pure color selected in  
the list or defined in the custom fields.  
This option is only available when scanning in grayscale or black and white. The example below shows  
the original text with a red watermark and the resulting image with the color removed.  
Perform Color Correction  
Apply color correction to the image so the displayed colors approximate the original item colors. Select  
this option to use the scanner’s default Gamma table which has been calibrated to produce the best  
quality color results for your scanner. When this option is not selected, the resulting scans will be dark  
and the brightness, contrast, and gamma options will require a greater amount of adjustment to affect  
the overall lightness of the image.

Advanced Panel Options  
The options in this panel may also appear in the Main panel, but with additional settings for you to  
fine-tune the feature you've selected. Select the Advanced source configuration mode to show this  
panel.  
Despeckle  
This option removes speckles from the background. Speckles are small spots on an image that the  
scanner interpreted as a valid part of the document. For example, an irregularity in the paper, a small  
wrinkle, or holes where a staple was removed may show up as speckles in the scanned image. The  
Despeckle option identifies these spots and removes them. This option is only available when scanning  
in black and white.  
Radius—this is the size of the area that is evaluated for stray dots.  
Number—this is the maximum number of dots within the radius that should be considered a speckle. If  
this number of dots are in the circle, the dots will not be considered a speckle and remain in the image.  
If there are less than this number of dots in the circle, the dots are considered a speckle and removed  
from the image.  
For example, if the radius is 3 and the number is 5, then the document is evaluated in sections of 3x3  
pixels and if there are more than 5 stray dots within a 3x3 area, they are not considered a speckle.  
Filter

Moiré Reduction  
Moiré patterns are wavy or rippled lines that may appear in the scanned images of newspapers and  
magazines, and sometimes scanned images of photos, line drawings, and color scans of textured  
paper. Select the Moiré reduction option to have the driver attempt to find and remove moiré patterns  
from the image. Please note that when Moiré reduction is enabled the scanner may scan slower as the  
image is checked for moiré patterns. This option is only available when scanning in Color or Gray.  
Image with moiré patterns Image with moiré patterns

Moiré radius—you can set the size of the area to be evaluated in the Moiré radius field. Adjusting the  
radius will produce different results for the various types of items that can be scanned. With this  
feature, you may have to test scan a few times, adjusting the Moiré radius as needed, until you obtain  
the best results for the type of paper in your scan job. Note that the higher the number is in the Moiré  
radius field, the longer it will take the driver to evaluate the image.  
White Level  
With this option you can set what the scanner should interpret as “white” in the final image, even  
though the page being scanned may have a shaded or off-white background. You may want to adjust  
this option to have the image automatically corrected when you are scanning irregular paper, such as  
thick or thin paper, that may cause the white page in the final image to appear shaded with a pale  
grey. This option is only available when scanning in Color or Gray.  
For the best automatic results you can simply select the type of paper you are scanning from the list.  
Alternatively, you can input a number in the Custom value field. The value you set in this field can be  
from 128 to 255. If you set the custom value to 128 you are telling the scanner that all pixels that are  
grey level 128 or higher (lighter) should be changed to white in the final image. If you set the custom  
value to 255, you are telling the scanner that only pure white is white and anything lower than 255  
should remain unchanged in the final image.  
Black Level  
With this option you can set what the scanner should interpret as “black” in the final image. If you are  
scanning items that have notes written with a pencil, you may want to raise the black level to have the  
pencil notes appear black in the image. You can set a value for black from 0 to 127. If you set this  
value to 127, you are telling the scanner that all pixels that are grey level 127 or lower (darker) should  
appear as black in the final image. This option is only available when scanning in Color or Gray.

the feature is dependent on another setting in the scanner's interface. Hover the mouse cursor over a  
grayed out feature to see information about why the feature is unavailable.  
Module Configuration  
When image processing modules are installed they will appear in the list on the Configure tab. Use this  
tab to enable the modules you want to use when scanning.  
There are some features in the scanner interface that are disabled until a module is installed that  
contains those options. When the module is installed, the features will enable in the scanner interface  
for you to use them.  
Reordering the Modules  
Select a module in the list and click the up or down arrow to change the order of the module in the list.  
Changing the order of the modules changes the order in which the image processing options are used.  
For example, if there are two modules installed and both modules include an automatic image rotation  
option, the first module's rotate option is used and the rotate setting in the second module is ignored  
so that the image is not rotated twice.

Replacing the Roller Assembly  
After extended use, the roller may wear out and may need to be replaced. It is a user-  
replaceable part and can be reordered.  
Frequent paper jams are a symptom of a worn roller assembly. A worn roller can cause  
documents to feed in skewed at an angle, or multiple pages to feed at the same time. A  
worn roller should be replaced to avoid damage to the scanner’s internal parts. Before replacing the  
roller you should clean it as excessive dust on the roller will make it appear worn and smooth. You  
cannot properly diagnose a worn roller until you have cleaned it.  
1. From the back of the scanner, lower the input tray.  
2. Press down on the two latches on the back of the docking station and lower the rear cover.  
3. The roller is held in place with a lock tab that rotates to lock and unlock it. To unlock the tab, rotate  
it upward until the small lock flange is completely free.  
4. When the roller is unlocked, it can be removed from its mounting sockets.

5. Discard the worn roller. It cannot be repaired.  
6. Before installing the new roller, clean any dust that may have gotten on it during shipping.  
7. Insert the right end of the roller into its housing socket in the scanner.  
8. Align the lock tab, on the orange lock flange, with the slot in the scanner.  
9. Rotate the lock tab into the slot on the scanner.  
10. Press down on the lever to lock the roller in place.  
The lock will “click” into place when it is secure. However, if it does not rotate easily into the  
housing, make sure the flange is properly seating in its latch.

Troubleshooting  
In addition to the troubleshooting information contained in this section, please see the Readme file on  
your installation disc. The Readme file contains additional information that may help you diagnose  
problems with the scanner.  
If you try the troubleshooting procedures described in this section and in the Readme file, and the  
scanner still has problems, visit our web site at www.xeroxscanners.com for additional technical  
information.  
Problem: The scanner won’t scan. What’s wrong?  
Check for one of these possible causes:  
Are the cables loose or not plugged in securely? Inspect the cable connections. Make sure the cables  
are plugged in securely.  
Is the scanner’s status light on? Turn on the scanner’s power. If the status light doesn’t come on,  
plug the power supply into another electrical outlet.  
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. Try restarting your computer.  
Did you plug the scanner into a USB hub? If you’re using a USB hub to connect the scanner, the hub  
must have its own power supply. If the hub does not have its own power supply, plug the scanner  
into a USB port on the computer.  
Did you select another TWAIN source for acquiring images? If you use multiple TWAIN devices with  
your computer, you may have selected another source for images. Start the PaperPort software  
and click the Scan icon, then make sure DocuMate 3115 is selected as the scanner.  
Problem: The installation will not complete successfully. If installation finishes, the scanner’s  
OneTouch 4.0 options do not seem to work properly.  
A likely cause is that some driver programs are already installed on your computer for another scanner.  
Or you previously had another Visioneer scanner and that driver program is still on your computer.  
They are interfering with the installation and OneTouch options, and you need to remove those other  
drivers and re-install your DocuMate 3115 scanner. Please see the documentation that you received  
with the other scanner for the steps to remove its driver programs.  
Problem: My computer keeps giving me out of hard drive space error messages.  
The minimum requirement of 350MB free hard drive space is for the installation of the software and  
basic, low resolution, scanning. High resolution scans result in files that can be over 1 gigabyte in size.  
Free up some space on your hard drive for the software to be able to save the scanned images.  
Problem: With AutoCrop to Original selected, sometimes I get blank pages, or pages with lines.  
The pages were probably scanned in crooked, or skewed. To use AutoCrop to Original, the pages must  
be scanned in straight. Adjust the paper guides on the scanner so pages feed in straight.

Problem: The paper jams the ADF.  
To reduce the number of paper jams, smooth and straighten the paper before scanning, and adjust the  
guides to the paper size. Paper fed into the ADF at an angle can cause the feed mechanism to jam. If  
paper jams are occurring more frequently, try cleaning the roller with a soft cloth dampened with  
Isopropyl rubbing alcohol. Excessive dust on the roller can make it appear worn and will cause issues  
feeding paper. See Cleaning the Scanner on page 194 for cleaning instructions.  
Problem: The ADF won’t feed pages properly.  
A dirty or worn ADF pad assembly or dirt on the roller can cause documents to feed in skewed at an  
angle, or multiple pages to feed at the same time. Try cleaning the roller first. See Cleaning the Scanner  
on page 194. If that doesn’t solve the problem, the pad assembly may need to be replaced. It is user-  
replaceable. See Replace the ADF Pad Assembly on page 197 for the steps to replace the pad.  
Problem: If the USB cable is disconnected during a scan, the scanner does not reconnect when the  
USB cable is plugged back in.  
Unplug the power cable from the scanner, and then plug it back in.  
If the scanner does not reconnect:  
1. Unplug the power cable from the scanner.  
2. Restart your computer.  
3. After the restart is complete, plug the power cable back in.  
Problem: Paper jams when it begins scanning from the input tray.  
Make sure the front feed tray is closed, and that an item isn’t already in the scanner fed in from the  
front.  
Problem: The scans from the input tray are always crooked.  
Make sure to align the paper guides to the edges of the paper. If you are scanning small items that are  
smaller than the paper guides’ minimum adjustment, scan these items from the front feed tray instead.
