You have numerous options to begin scanning. Perhaps the easiest is to use Visioneer's OneTouch software that comes free with each scanner. OneTouch runs a service on your computer to detect when a Xerox scanner has been connected and powered on. Once a scanner is detected, the OneTouch service automatically launches the OneTouch scanning software. You can open, and begin using your OneTouch software, by clicking on the OneTouch Icon in your Task Tray. Note that, depending on your desktop settings, it may be in the hidden icon section which can be accessed by the up arrow in the task tray. If it is hidden you can drag and drop it to the main task tray if desired.
If you right click the OT icon there is a quick reference guide to help get you started. Once you begin using the software there is a comprehensive help file to answer most common questions on how to use OneTouch.
If your scanner came with the PaperPort software and you chose to have it installed, you can launch the software from the Start Menu or by double clicking the PaperPort Icon on your desktop.
When PaperPort opens, you can use the Setup Wizard to select your scanner or manually select your scanner by following these steps:
1. Click the Scan Settings Icon
2. Click the Select... Button
3. Selecting the scanner's TWAIN driver in the list of available drivers and clicking OK. You can begin scanning by using the Scan Now icon on the far left of the Menu Bar.
PaperPort also gives you the option to hide or display the scanner's TWAIN driver interface each time you initiate a scan session. This can be a useful option if you do not need to change scan settings very often.
