either to the printer, or to a software application—called the destination
application—on your computer.
To scan by pressing a button on the scanner:

VISIONEER ONETOUCH 58XX SCANNER INSTALLATION GUIDE
SCANNING FROM THE BUTTON PANEL ON THE SCREEN
Scanning from the button panel on the screen is just like pressing a
scanner button, except you click the button on the screen. The scanner
scans the item, and then sends the image either to the printer, or to a
destination application on your computer. This method of scanning is
especially helpful if the scanner is not located close to your computer.
To scan from the screen:
1. Place an item to scan on the glass, face down, close the lid, and then
click the scanner icon on the Windows taskbar.
The scanner button panel appears on the screen.
2. Click the button you want to use to scan.
The scanner starts scanning the item; the messages about the
scanning appear above the Windows taskbar; the progress window
shows the image as it is scanned. When the scan is complete, the
scanned image appears in the destination application.
The icons on the buttons indicate the destination application for the
scanned image. For example, in the illustration above, the icon on the
email button is for the email application, Outlook Express. When you
click the email button, the item is scanned, and then Outlook Espress
opens. In this case, the scanned image automatically becomes an
attachment to send with an email message.
A question mark icon on a button means your computer does not have
an application that corresponds to that button’s functions. For example,
if your computer does not have an email application, the Email button
will have a question mark icon on it.

4. Adjust the scan settings that you want.
Mode—Select Black/White to scan in black and white. For
example, letters and memos are usually scanned in black and white.
Select Grayscale to scan items such as documents containing
drawings or black and white photographs. The scanning produces
an image in varying shades of gray. Select Color to scan color
photographs and other color items.
Resolution—Drag the slider to the right or left to adjust the dots
per inch (dpi) of the resolution. The maximum resolution is 600
dpi; the minimum is 50 dpi. The higher the dpi setting, the sharper
and clearer the scanned image. However, higher dpi settings take
longer to scan and produce larger files for the scanned images.
Brightness and Contrast—Drag the sliders to the right or left to
adjust the brightness and contrast of the scanned image. The
Contrast setting does not apply to the Black/White mode.
5. Click the Page Settings tab to adjust the scan page settings.

AutoCrop—Select this option to let the scanner automatically
determine the size of the item being scanned. For example, if you
put a photo in the middle of the glass, the scanner will
automatically determine the size of the photo. When AutoCrop is
selected, the scanner makes two passes—the first pass senses the
item’s size, and the second pass scans the image. This option
overrides the Page Size menu selection.
DeScreen—Select this option when scanning a picture from a
newspaper or magazine article, or other item that contains images
with patterns or dots. Scans of patterns or dots sometimes have a
distorted or wavy appearance. The scanner scans the item to
compensate for the patterns and dots, and produces a clearer image.
The scanning may slow down a bit when this option is selected. You
don’t need to select this option when scanning photographs. The
DeScreen setting does not apply to the Black/White mode.
Gamma—Drag the slider to improve how the colors in a scanned
image look on your monitor. Gamma correction allows you to
achieve precise color matching. Because the computer cannot
always transmit the exact color information to the hardware, you
may have to make some color adjustments using the Gamma
feature.
The default Gamma setting works fine in most cases and normally
does not need to be adjusted.
6. Click OK.
The Configuration dialog box reappears. Make sure the
configuration you just defined is selected.

PaperPort software. This is particularly helpful when you’re using
PaperPort to file and save your scanned items.
Note: You can also scan directly with other software that meets the
Twain standards for scanning, which includes many graphics and
imaging applications available for your computer. The following steps
explain how to set up and scan from the PaperPort software but you
use the same basic processes with other Twain software.

software.
To set up the scanner:

dialog box appears, listing all Twain devices installed on your
computer.

devices.

Selecting the proper scanner setting before scanning produces the best
results for a scanned item. The scanner setting determines the resolution
of the item and the number of possible shades of gray or color. The
symbols next to the setting names indicate the scan mode—true color,
grayscale, or black and white. The scanner settings affect the speed of
the scan and the file size. The Scan Manager shows the approximate file
size of a scanned item to help you decide whether to use a particular
scanner setting.
TrueColor Grayscale B&W
Note: Your scanner is initially set to scan with the setting Color
Document—Faster. To scan at a higher resolution, select Color
resolution creates a larger file size, takes longer to scan, and may not
print any better. To minimize the file size and the time required to get
a better quality scan, select just the area of the item that you want to
scan. For more information about selecting the area of an item, see
“Selecting the Area of the Item You Want to Scan” on page 34.
SELECTING SCAN CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
The scan configuration options provide you with additional settings
when scanning an image. Note that when you select one of the
predefined scanner settings, these options show what is already selected
for that setting, but you can change them as you wish.
The options are:
Mode—Shows the scan mode such as true color, grayscale, and black-
and-white. Click the drop-down arrow to see your choices for the scan
mode. The symbols next to the selections indicate their mode setting.
Choose one of the modes for scanning from the list.
Res—This is the resolution setting for the scan in dots-per-inch (dpi).
The higher the dpi, the sharper the image. But higher dpi settings also
produce larger files sizes. Usually the higher resolution settings are used
for precision work, such as photographs or fine artwork. Click the drop-
down arrow and choose one of the resolution settings from the list.

VISIONEER ONETOUCH 58XX SCANNER INSTALLATION GUIDE
Size—The page size for the image. If you want to use one of the preset
sizes, click the drop-down arrow and choose the size from the list. If you
want to create a custom size, click on the picture window and drag the
mouse. A dotted box on the window indicates the page size, and the two
number boxes—with the vertical and horizontal symbols next to
them—show the actual page size in inches. You can also enter the
vertical and horizontal sizes in those two number boxes. To set the units
for the sizes, click the drop-down arrow for the size units. The choices
are inches, cm (for centimeters), and pixels.
AutoCrop—Select this option to let the scanner automatically
determine the size of the item being scanned. For example, if you put a
photo in the middle of the glass, the scanner will automatically
determine the size of the photo. When AutoCrop is selected, the
scanner makes two passes—the first pass senses the item’s size, and the
second pass scans the image. This option overrides the selections for
Size.
Adv. Settings—Click this button to see advanced settings for scanning.
See the online Help information for details about the advanced settings.
CUSTOMIZING A SCANNER SETTING

Manager.
Note: Predefined settings cannot be customized.
To create a new scanner setting:
1. In the Scan Page For options, select Custom to create a new
scanner setting.

your custom setting.

ADJUSTING THE BRIGHTNESS AND CONTRAST
Sometimes an item is scanned with the brightness and contrast set to be
too light or too dark. For example, a note written with a light pencil
may need to be scanned darker to improve legibility.
You can adjust the brightness and contrast at which grayscale and color
items are scanned. You can also adjust the brightness for black-and-
white items.
To adjust brightness and contrast:
1. Click the Adv. Settings button on the Scan Manager. The
Advanced Settings dialog box appears.

SELECTING THE AREA OF THE ITEM YOU WANT TO SCAN
When you preview an item to scan, the selection rectangle around the
image indicates the scan area. However, you may want to select only a
certain area of an item to scan. Selecting an appropriate scan area can
result in a faster scan and a smaller file size.
To select the area you want to scan:
1. Click the Preview button. An image of the scanned item appears in
the Preview area. A selection rectangle shows the current scan area.
2. (optional) In the Scan Configuration settings, select the units of
measure you want to use for the scan area. You can select either
inches, centimeters, or pixels.
3. To change the dimensions of the rectangle, click the rectangle, and
then drag the borders of the rectangle to resize it. This effectively
allows you to crop the item. The dimensions of the selected area
appear in the Scan Configuration settings.
You can also type length and width dimensions directly into the
boxes that show the dimensions of the selection area. Use this
process to produce a precise scan area size.
4. To position the rectangle over the area you want to scan, click and
hold the left mouse button and drag to the location desired.
5. Click the Scan button to scan the image.

INSTALLATION TROUBLESHOOTING
35
INSTALLATION TROUBLESHOOTING
After I installed PaperPort, I got a blue screen and a Profiling
Display error message. Why is this happening? PaperPort installs a
driver for scanning and printing. Sometimes a conflict occurs between
the PaperPort driver and another driver you may have on your
computer. To resolve the conflict, remove the PaperPort driver from
your SYSTEM.INI file and restart your computer. If the computer
starts properly, that is a good sign that the conflict occurred.
You can also change your video driver to SVGA and reboot with our
driver in the SYSTEM.INI file. This will help you tell if the video driver
conflicts with the PaperPort driver.
Note: Windows stores the SYSTEM.INI file in the Windows
directory.
During installation I got the error message: PaperPort Installation
is not complete. What do I do? The installation procedure was not
successful. You need to reinstall the PaperPort software.
I got the error message: PaperPort cannot allocate enough memory
to perform internal critical operations. What do I do? You should
close any other active applications so that additional memory is
available. If you click continue, PaperPort moves the file to the
PaperPort data directory and renames the file with the prefix “bad.”
This allows you to recover the file later.
To recover the file, you can import it into PaperPort by using the Import
command in the File menu.
How do I uninstall PaperPort? You can uninstall PaperPort in the
Windows Control Panel. To display the Control Panel, choose Settings
from the Start menu, then choose Control Panel. Double-click
Add/Remove Programs. Use the Install/Uninstall tab to remove
ScanSoft PaperPort from your hard disk. The uninstall does not delete
your scanned items, and they remain in the PaperPort Data folder.
