26VISIONEER PATRIOT 680 SCANNER USER’S GUIDE

Scanning

If you selected the recommended Full Install option for your scanner’s driver (see page 12), you have several different scanning options with your Visioneer Patriot 680 scanner. Each method scans equally well, so use the one with appropriate options for the item you are scanning.

■Scanner Buttons—When you press the Simplex or Duplex button, documents are scanned using the scan settings indicated by the LED number. The scanned images are then sent to a software application (known as the Destination Application) or to a storage folder on your computer. See “Load and Scan Documents” on page 27.

■OneTouch—Use this scan option when you want to scan from the computer screen. Open the OneTouch scan panel and window, adjust the scan settings as needed, put the document in the scanner, then click the icon on the OneTouch panel. Also use this OneTouch method of scanning if you want to access the advanced features of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) available from the OmniPage Pro application. See “Scan from the OneTouch Button Panel” on page 33.

■TWAIN Interface—This option uses your scanner’s TWAIN interface to scan. Select the TWAIN scan settings, put the document in the scanner, then click a button on the TWAIN interface window. See “Scanning with the TWAIN Interface” on page 107.

■Windows Image Acquisition (WIA)—This option uses the Microsoft Windows set of choices for scanning. Select the WIA scan settings, put the document in the scanner, then click a button on the WIA window. Scanning with WIA is only available if your computer is running Windows XP. See “Scanning with the Windows Image Acquisition” on page 125.

■ISIS Interface—This option uses ISIS driver to scan. Select the ISIS scan settings, put the document in the scanner, then use your ISIS application to scan using the ISIS Interface. See the ISIS Interface on page 131.
