Scanning

About the One Touch Button Panel’s Names and Icons

The button names, such as PDF, eMail or Fax, indicate the original factory settings for the Destination Application assigned to a button. When you installed One Touch, it searched your computer for applications that will work with the scanner, then listed them as available Destination Applications on the One Touch Button Panel and the One Touch Properties window.

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. But you can change the name, the Destination Application, and any of the other aspects of the button.

A question mark for a button, such as shown for Button 5, means your computer does not have appropriate software, or in some cases the appropriate hardware for the initial factory settings (Fax software in this example). In that case, you would probably want to change the name and Destination Application to something else. For example, if you scan a lot of documents that have faint images, such as hand-drawn sketches in light pencil, you might want to change the button’s name to Sketches, and the Destination Application to Microsoft Paint, or some other drawing program.

A folder icon for a button, such as shown for Button 7, means that the button is set up to archive the scanned item. This is a special pre-configured Transfer to Storage option for your scanner. The scanner sends the scanned image directly to a folder without opening the image first in a Destination Application. Use the archiving option when you don’t need to see the scanned images, but simply want to store them in a folder.

When you scan with Transfer to Storage as the Destination Application, the scanner sends the scanned image directly to the default folder at C:\Documents and Settings\<your user name>\My Documents\My One Touch Archive\PDF Documents without first opening it in an application. The file will be named with the current date. It is named PDF Documents because button 7 is set to scan to the PDF file format. If you set up an archive button to scan to another format, such as TXT, the folder would be named TXT Documents. To see a scanned image that has been archived, open it using the appropriate application for the format. For example, to see a TXT image, open it with Microsoft Word or WordPad.

510 specifications

The Xerox 510, a groundbreaking model introduced in the 1970s, played a significant role in the evolution of photocopying technology. As one of the early members of the Xerox family, the 510 was designed primarily for high-volume copying tasks, making it a staple in offices and businesses of the time.

One of the standout features of the Xerox 510 was its electrostatic dry copying process. This technology allowed for a more efficient and faster reproduction of documents compared to traditional methods. The introduction of the Xerox 510 marked a shift from the cumbersome and often messy wet copying processes to a cleaner and more reliable dry photocopying system.

The machine utilized a photoconductive drum, which was coated with a photosensitive material that enabled it to capture images effectively. When exposed to light from the original document, the drum would retain the charges, allowing toner to be applied precisely where it was needed. This resulted in high-quality copies that were sharp and clear, often surpassing the quality of earlier copying machines.

In terms of operational characteristics, the Xerox 510 was capable of producing multiple copies rapidly, boasting a production rate of around 20 pages per minute. This high-speed capability was crucial for businesses needing to duplicate documents quickly, helping to streamline productivity in an era where time management was becoming increasingly pivotal.

Additionally, the Xerox 510 featured a user-friendly interface that allowed operators to adjust settings for various document sizes and types. This flexibility meant that users could efficiently handle a wide range of copying tasks, from simple text documents to more complex layouts.

The versatility of the Xerox 510 was further enhanced through optional features such as automatic document feeders and duplexing capabilities, which enabled two-sided copying. These advancements made it easier for users to manage their copying needs without having to manually handle each page.

In conclusion, the Xerox 510 stands out as a cornerstone in the history of copying technology. With its innovative electrostatic dry copying process, high-speed output, and user-centric features, it set the stage for future developments in office equipment. The legacy of the Xerox 510 continues to influence modern copy technologies, showcasing the enduring impact of its design and functionality in the realm of document reproduction.
