The USB symbol identifies the location of the USB port on your
computer. If the plug does not attach easily, make sure that you are
plugging it in correctly. Do not force the plug into the connection.
Your computer recognizes that a scanner has been plugged into the
USB port and automatically configures its driver database with the
appropriate software to run the scanner.

computer is running. You do not have to shut down your computer.
Note: You can also connect the scanner to a USB hub if the hub has
its own power supply plugged into an electrical outlet.

Because the RoadWarrior draws its power from the computer through
the USB cable, you can use your scanner on an airplane, at a remote job
site, in your car, or anywhere else.
Connect the scanner to your laptop with the USB cable. The scanner
will draw its power from the laptop battery.

scanner. Each method scans equally well, so use the one with
appropriate options for the item you are scanning.
OneTouch AutoLaunchTo use the scanners AutoLaunch feature,
simply insert a document in the scanner and it is automatically
scanned using predefined settings from the OneTouch software. See
Scan Using AutoLaunch on page 22.
OneTouch Button PanelUse this scan option when you want to
scan from the computer screen. Open the OneTouch scan panel and
window, adjust the scan settings if you want, put the document in the
scanner, and then click the icon on the OneTouch panel. See Scan
from the OneTouch Panel on page 27.

TWAIN interface window. See Scanning from TWAIN Software
on page 90.
Windows Image Acquisition (WIA)This option uses the

SCANNING BASICS
SCAN USING AUTOLAUNCH
When you insert an item into the scanner, it is automatically scanned
and the image is sent to a software application on your computer.
To scan using AutoLaunch:
1. Align a document with the Paper Guides and insert it, face down,
into the paper feed slot.
The scanner grabs the top edge of the paper and automatically
begins to scan and feed the paper through the scanner.
Note: Always remove any staples or paper clips from documents
before inserting them into the scanner. Staples and paper clips can jam
the feed mechanism and scratch the internal components. Do not scan
any document with wet correction fluid, labels, stickers or Post-It
notes on the pages. The correction fluid or glue from the stickers can
leave residue on the lens that is difficult to clean. The residue also
causes lines to occur in the scanned images. If a label, sticker or Post-It
note comes off during the scanning process, the item can get stuck in

The available options are for images and text.
The Text Formats are for text file types. The names of the formats
indicate their file types. See Text Formats on page 47 for details.
CREATE SINGLE IMAGE FILES
The TIFF and PDF formats support multiple page documents. If you
are scanning as a TIFF or PDF file 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 or JPG.
Image Formats Text Formats; sPDF is only one
of several text formats available.
Note: The sPDF and nPDF
text formats are only available if
the OneTouch OmniPage
Module or OmniPage Pro soft-
ware is installed on your com-
puter.
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. Both of those file formats
tend to be larger than the JPEG format.
Because JPEG image files can be reduced in size, the JPEG format is
often used for images on web pages, or if file size might be a problem
when electronically sending the files. JPEG files are reduced in size by
lowering their image quality, and you can select the degree of quality for
your scanned images from the JPEG file format icon.
The PDF format is often used to create images of text pages. You may
want to select PDF as the page format when scanning text pages that do
not require OCR processing or other processing. The PDF format is
also used to put multi-page documents on web sites as PDF-readable
files. As with the JPEG option, the PDF format can be reduced in size
or quality.
To select a JPEG or PDF file size:
1. Select JPG or PDF as the page format.
2. Right-click on the JPG or PDF icon.
A menu appears.
Note: The two other PDF formatsnPDF and sPDFare for

3. Choose the file size/image quality option for your scanned images.
Minimize SizeSmallest file size, lowest image quality.
NormalMedium file size, some loss of image quality.
Maximum QualityLargest file size, no loss of image quality.
Your selection pertains only to the Destination Application
currently selected on the OneTouch Properties window. Other
Destination Applications that have JPG or PDF selected as the Page
Format are not affected, so you can set the JPEG or PDF file size/
image quality independently of Destination Applications.
TEXT FORMATS
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. For additional OCR processing
features, see Scanning with Optical Character Recognition (OCR) on
page 69.
Select a text format for documents with text or numbers, such as a
business letter, report, or spreadsheet. The text format icon has several
file formats available, depending on the Destination Application you
select.
The specific file format is the file name extension on the text format
icon.
The specific text format; this example is
for Microsoft Notepad simple text
format (.txt).
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.
To select a file type for the text format:
1. Select the Destination Application.
2. Right-click on the text format icon.
3. Choose the file type that you want for the text format.
Your selection of a file type pertains only to the Destination

Rich Text FormatThe .rtf file format. Text that retains
formatting when converted. Available with Microsoft Wordpad and
Word.
Word DocumentThe .doc file format used by Microsoft Word.
Comma DelimitedThe .csv file format; used for database or
spreadsheet data with fields separated by commas. When the
document is converted into editable text by the OCR software, the
fields are maintained so you can copy and paste them to a database
or spreadsheet application.
Excel SpreadsheetThe .xls file format used by Microsoft Excel.
HTML DocumentThe .htm file format used to create web
pages.
Searchable PDFThe .sPDF file format used by Adobe Acrobat
and OmniPage Pro. This format converts scanned text into PDF
with text search and OCR capabilities. See Scanning with sPDF or
nPDF and Searching for Text on page 71 for details.
Normal PDFThe .nPDF file format used by Adobe Acrobat and
OmniPage Pro. This format also converts scanned text into PDF
with text search and OCR capabilities, plus you can edit the text in
an nPDF image if you have a PDF editing program. See Scanning
with sPDF or nPDF and Searching for Text on page 71 for details.
4. To change the OCR settings, choose OCR Options.
The OCR Options provide a series of selections for the OCR
feature when you scan text. This menu option is only available if
you have the OneTouch OmniPage Module or the OmniPage
software installed on your computer. See Scanning with Optical
Character Recognition (OCR) on page 69 for details.

Applications for which OCR applies. If you change them for one
Destination Application, those changes apply to the others as well.
SELECTING OPTIONS FOR THE ONETOUCH PROPERTIES WINDOW
The OneTouch Options determine the types of Destination
Applications available on the window, as well as the location of the files
of your scanned items.
1. To select options:
2. Open the OneTouch Properties window and click the Options tab.
3. Select options as described below.
Show All DestinationsThis option selects all the Destination
Application categories. The list of Destination Applications
available will include all the applications on your computer that fall
into these categories. The list also includes printers and other
devices connected to your computer so, for example, you can scan
an item and have it printed immediately.
Select DestinationsSelect this option to individually choose the
types of applications to include in the list of Destination
Applications. Check the boxes for the type of application to
include.
Options tab
Document Management includes PaperPort and other
applications for processing and keeping track of your scanned
documents.
Image Editors include Microsoft Paint and other drawing and
graphics applications.
Text Editors include Microsoft Word and WordPad, Microsoft
Excel, and other word processing and spreadsheet applications.
Select this option if you want OCR processing to convert your
scanned documents to text that you can edit.
PDF applications are for documents scanned to PDF format.
Email includes Microsoft Outlook and other email applications.
See eMail Properties on page 43 for details about attaching
scanned documents to your email messages.
Storage and CD-R/W is for either storing scanned documents
in a folder, or sending them to a CD burner to create a CD
containing the scanned documents. See Transferring Scanned
Documents to Storage on page 79 and Scan and Burn to a
CD on page 73 for details.
Fax and Print is for sending your scanned documents directly to
your printer or fax software for faxing.
Sti event forwarding is for using another applications interface
for scanning. The OneTouch Event Forwarding dialog box opens
so you can select which application to use to continue scanning.
See Scanning with Event Forwarding on page 75 for details.
4. After selecting a new category of Destination Applications, click the
Multi Function tab to see which ones are added to the list.
Show Progress WindowSelect this option to display the progress
window of the document(s) during scanning.
Use enhanced folder browserSelect this option if you want to
save your scans to a network location that is not a mapped drive on
your computer.
Create copies of scanned documentsSometimes the image of a
scanned document is only saved as a temporary file until its
Destination Application is finished using it. In those cases you may
want an additional, permanent copy saved on your hard drive.
For example, if you scan a picture to an email application, the
scanned image is saved as a temporary file, then attached to the
email, and the email is sent. Later, the temporary file of the scanned
picture is deleted. The same situation may occur when you scan
directly to a printer or scan to a fax application. After a scanned
item is printed or faxed, its temporary file is deleted. However, by
selecting this Create copies of scanned documents option, you
can choose to save permanent copies of the scanned items on your
hard drive.
The copies will be saved in the folder specified in the Folder Copy
Options section (see the figure on page 53 and the description
below).
By selecting the Fax and Print box and clicking the Create copies
of scanned documents option, every scanned document you fax or
print from the scanner is also saved as a permanent file on your hard
drive.
This option is not available if either the Document Management
or Storage and CD-R/W options are selected because, by default,
file copies for those types of Destination Applications are already
automatically saved in the folder for copies.
For that reason, this option is not available if the PaperPort software
is the Destination Application because it is already Document
Management applications.
Folder Copy OptionsThis section of the dialog box sets the
location for copies of your scanned documents and how you want
to group them.
All copies of your scanned documents, regardless of type of
Destination Application, are saved in this folder.
Note that if Transfer to Storage is the Destination Application,
and the type of application is Storage and CD-R/W, the location
in this section is where your scanned documents are stored. When
you use the OneTouch 4.0 Burn to CD feature, the location is
where scanned documents are stored before they are burned onto
the CD.
Click the Browse button and find the folder for the copies. Select
the grouping option for the documents. Group by type arranges the
scanned documents by the type of file, such as .doc or .jpg. If you
also want to group them by date you can choose the week and
month options.
The following example shows the folders when the selections are
Group items by type and Group items by month.
5. Click OK to save the options.
CREATING A NEW SCAN CONFIGURATION
The scan configurations are where you select the scanning resolution,
brightness, mode (color, black&white, or grayscale), and a number of
other settings.
Note the lock icon on the preset configurations. Although you can
unlock and edit the preset configurations, we recommend that you leave
them locked, and only add new configurations. That way, you will
always have the original, factory-set configurations available. New
configurations will be unlocked until you manually lock them.
To create a new configuration:
1. Open the OneTouch Properties window and make sure the PaperIn
tab is selected.
2. Scroll through the applications in the Select Destination list and
click the type of application for which you want to create a new
scan configuration.

Contrast.
Note: Depending on the destination application selected, the scan
configuration dialogue window may have a fourth tab for settings
specific to that destination.
5. Select scan settings for the new scan configuration.
ModeSelect a scanning mode:
Black&White to scan in black and white. For example, letters
and memos are usually scanned in black and white. This scan
mode produces the smallest file size.
GrayScale to scan items such as documents containing drawings
or black and white photographs. The scanning produces an
image of up to 256 shades of gray.
Color to scan color photographs and other color items. Color
scans have the largest file size.
ResolutionDrag 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 75 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 ContrastSometimes an item is scanned with the
brightness and contrast set too light or too dark. For example, a
note written with a light pencil may need to be scanned darker to
improve legibility.
Brightness refers to the lightness or darkness of the image. Contrast
is the range between the darkest and lightest portions of the image.
The greater the contrast, the more difference between the lighter
and darker shades in the image.
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.
6. If you want to lock the configuration, click the Key icon to change
it from a Key to a Lock.

of the units, inches or centimeters, to toggle between them.
Improvements and SettingsOnly the options that apply to the
selected Destination Application are available.
AutoCrop to OriginalSelect this option to let the scanner
automatically determine the size of the item being scanned. For
example, if you scan a 5" x 7" photo, the scanner will determine
the size of the photo.
When using the AutoCrop to Original option, make sure to use the
paper guides on the scanner so the page is inserted straight.
For single-sided scans, the scan area is the size of the image. For
double-sided scans, the scan area is the size of the larger of the
two areas on the front and back of the page.
Note: Also make sure to set the page size larger than the item that
youre scanning so the Autocrop process will have sufficient room on
the page to crop the image properly.
Click to toggle
between inches
and centimeters.
Reduce Moire PatternsMoire patterns are wavy, rippled lines
that sometimes appear on the scanned images of photographs or
illustrations, particularly newspaper and magazine illustrations.
Selecting Reduce Moire Patterns will limit or eliminate moire
patterns in the scanned image. This option is only available for
the GrayScale or Color Mode at 200dpi or less.
Straighten ImageSelect this option to let the scanner
automatically determine if a page is skewed, and then straighten
its image. The scanner detects page edges and can sense when the
page is fed through at an angle. However, if the page is fed
through at too great an angle, the image may not scan correctly.
In that case, re-scan the page using the paper guides to feed the
paper in straight.
Invert ImageOnly available for Black&White Mode, this
option reverses the black and whites of an image.
Skip Blank OriginalsSkips pages that are completely blank.
Typically you use this option when you will scan a stack of two-
sided pages which have a number of blank sides. This option is
only available for Duplex scanning.

Color FilterColor filter is the ability of your scanner to
automatically remove a color from a scanned item. 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 filter applies to Black&White or
GrayScale Mode.
8. Click the Advanced Settings tab.
The options of the Advanced Settings tab are for the Color or
GrayScale scanning mode.
Saturation is the strength or purity of a color, hue is the color your

the document and did not change the Scanning Mode prior to
clicking on the Scan button. Instead of having to re-scan the
entire stack, you can stop the current scan, change the Scanning
Mode from Black & White to Color, then restart the scanning
without losing the pages already scanned.
SCANNING WITH OPTICAL CHARACTER RECOGNITION (OCR)
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is like a printer in reverse.
Instead of printing whats on the screen onto paper, 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.
The OneTouch OmniPage Module or the OmniPage Pro software must
be installed on your computer in order to use the OCR options with the
OneTouch 4.0 software and your RoadWarrior scanner. OneTouch
4.0 and OmniPage work together to combine scanning with OCR
processing into one integrated step. The OneTouch OmniPage Module
was automatically installed when you installed your driver, the
OmniPage Pro software is on the Disc 2 CD that you received with your
scanner. The OneTouch OmniPage Module and the OmniPage
Software can both be installed on your computer at the same time,
however, the features in the OneTouch OmniPage Module will take
precedence over the OmniPage software features when using OneTouch
4.0. The OneTouch OmniPage Mini-Guide is available on the Disc 1
installation CD. Please refer to this Mini-Guide for instructions on
setting the advanced OCR options.
With the OneTouch OmniPage Module or OmniPage Pro software
installed, the OCR process is automatic when the page format on the
OneTouch Properties window is a text format, such as DOC, TEXT,
XLS, RTF, and so forth.
Note: For 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 and have a small type font, 400 dpi can
be used as the maximum resolution.
Note: If you have uninstalled the OneTouch OmniPage Module or
the OmniPage Pro software from your computer, items scanned as a
text format are still converted with the OCR process, however, the
options available with the process are then limited.
To scan with OCR:
1. Select a Destination Application that has one of the Text formats
available (TEXT, RTF, XLS, HTML, CSV, DOC, sPDF, nPDF).
2. Scan the document.
Your scanned pages appear in the Destination Application with
their text ready for editing and other text processing.
To select OCR settings:
1. Select the Destination Application.
2. Right-click on a text format icon.
A menu appears. The following figure shows a sample of the Text
menu when the Destination Application is Microsoft WordPad.
3. Choose OCR options.
4. Select the option you want for the OCR conversion of your
documents.
5. Click OK.
Note: OCR scanning is also for spreadsheets so you can work in
Microsoft Excel (or other spreadsheet applications) with the figures
and text from the original spreadsheets.
SCANNING WITH SPDF OR NPDF AND SEARCHING FOR TEXT
The searchable PDF (sPDF) and Normal PDF (nPDF) are special forms
of an Adobe PDF file. sPDF and nPDF are only available as page format
options if you have the OneTouch OmniPage Module or the OmniPage
Pro Software installed on your computer.
sPDF converts scanned text into the PDF format with text search and
OCR capabilities. nPDF has those same features, plus you can edit the
text in an nPDF image if you have a PDF editing program. These two
PDF formats can also produce images with different image quality, so
you may want to experiment with them to determine which is better for
your scanned documents.
To scan with sPDF or nPDF:
2. Select a Destination Application that uses the sPDF or nPDF text
format as the page format. For example, select Transfer to Storage
as the Destination Application.
3. Right-click on the text format icon.
4. Choose the Searchable PDF or Normal PDF option for the page
format.
5. The settings now show your page format selection.
6. Choose a Scan Configuration.
7. Click Apply or OK.
Now when you scan with that Destination Application selected, the
scanned document will be in the sPDF or nPDF format that was
selected for it.
8. To search for the text, open Adobe Acrobat Reader or Adobe
Acrobat.
9. From the Adobe Acrobat File menu choose Open, and open the file
you just scanned.
10. From the Adobe Acrobat Edit menu choose Find.
The Find dialog box appears.
11. Enter the text you want to find, and click the Find button.

SCANNING WITH EVENT FORWARDING
If you want to specify an application to use for scanning at the start of
the process, you can use event forwarding. The scanner will feed in the
first page, but will then stop until you select the application to use. After
you select the application, its interface will open and you can use it to
continue with the scanning.
To scan with event forwarding:
2. Select Still Image Client as the Destination Application.
Note that you cannot choose a page format for this option because
the actual destination application is not selected until after the
scanner feeds in the first page of your document.
5. Start scanning a page.
A dialog box appears for you to select the application to use for
scanning.
6. Select the application in the box and click OK.
Now the application you selected opens and you can continue the
scanning from that applications TWAIN interface.
CREATING AN HTML WEB PAGE FROM YOUR SCANNED DOCUMENTS
If you scan a document, whether a single page or multiple pages, you
can have the pages converted directly to HTML formatted pages for
posting directly to your web site. Those pages are then viewable by
visitors to your web site without the need for any internet plug-ins or
other special processing. This is, essentially, from your scanner to a web-
ready format in one automatic step.
To scan and create an HTML web page:
2. Select Microsoft Explorer as the Destination Application.
3. Choose HTML as the Page Format.
4. Choose a Scan Configuration that has the settings for the image on
the HTML page.
For example, if you want the image to be in color on the HTML
page, choose a color configuration.
5. Click OK.
The OneTouch Properties window closes.
Choose HTML
6. Now scan the image from the OneTouch Button Panel.
When scanning is finished, the document is first converted to
editable text using the OCR process, then is converted into an
HTML format. Microsoft Internet Explorer then opens showing
your converted page.
7. Choose Save As from the Internet Explorer File menu, give the
page a name, and save it in the location you use for your web page
files.
You may also want to write down the address shown in the Address
bar to make sure youll know where to find your new HTML page
later on.
8. You can now use Microsoft Internet Explorer or other application
to post the document to your web page as you would any other
HTML page.
Note: Depending on the complexity of the document, its conversion
to the HTML format may take a few moments.
TRANSFERRING SCANNED DOCUMENTS TO STORAGE
With the Transfer to Storage scanning process, you can scan documents
and save them in a folder in one step. The process is ideal for archiving
documents without having to manually save or process them in any
other way. If you choose a text format for the file format, the documents
are also automatically converted by the OCR process into editable text
and numbers before being stored.
To scan and transfer to storage:
2. Select Transfer to Storage as the Destination Application.
3. Choose a Page Format. For example, choose sPDF if you want to
save your documents in the special sPDF format that provides
searchable text in the file.

SCANNING FROM TWAIN SOFTWARE
You can scan from any TWAIN scanning application instead of
scanning using the OneTouch AutoLaunch feature or the OneTouch
Button Panel.
A NOTE ABOUT THE TWAIN STANDARD
Your scanner uses the TWAIN interface to scan photographs and
documents. TWAIN is a widely recognized standard that computers use
to receive images from scanners, digital cameras, and other digital
devices. The TWAIN scanning interface can be accessed from any
TWAIN scanning application you have installed on the computer.
Applications such as Nuance PaperPort and ArcSoft PhotoImpression,
which were provided with your scanner, and many other applications,
will use the TWAIN interface for scanning. This section specifically
describes how to use the features of the TWAIN interface for scanning,
however, the instructions in this section may use the PaperPort software
as an example only.
Refer to the User Guide you received with your other scanning
application for instructions on setting up that application to access the
TWAIN interface. As previously stated, the scanning method is the
same, but you will need to refer to your product's user guide for
instructions on how to access the scanner and how file handling works.
Instructions for setting up the PaperPort software to access the TWAIN
interface is provided in this Users Guide.
SCANNING FROM TWAIN SOFTWARE 91
ACCESSING THE TWAIN INTERFACE
As previously stated, you can access the TWAIN interface from any
TWAIN compliant scanning application. You can configure any of your

4. Click OK to save your changes and close the OneTouch Properties
window.
5. Insert a page into the scanner.
6. The TWAIN interface will now open.
Note: If you choose to use OneTouch Configure Before Scan for
scanning from the TWAIN interface, the final image will be sent to
the destination application set for that button. Please see Setting
Destination Application Properties on page 36 for more information
on OneTouch destinations.
Note: At this time the TWAIN interface is where you will adjust your
scan settings. Please see the following section for adjusting the scan
settings in the TWAIN interface.
OPENING THE TWAIN INTERFACE FROM PAPERPORT
The instructions in this section are for scanning with your scanners
TWAIN interface.
To scan an item using PaperPort:
1. On the Windows taskbar, click Start, point to Programs, point to
ScanSoft PaperPort, and then click PaperPort.
The PaperPort desktop opens.
2. Click the Scan icon on the PaperPort command bar.

Visioneer RoadWarrior scanner.
Note: Please wait a few moments for your selection from the drop-
down list to become active. This delay only occurs the first time you
select from the list while PaperPort initializes the scanner. Later on,
the scanner initializes immediately when you select it from the list.
Note: If the Scan button at the bottom of panel is not available when
you make a selection from the Scanner drop-down list, your computer
needs to be setup to use the scanner. See the section, Setting Up Your
Scanner to Work with PaperPort on page 101.
Scan pane
If this Scan button is not active, see the section
on page 100 to setup your computer.
SCANNING FROM THE TWAIN INTERFACE
The TWAIN interface allows you to modify the scan settings for your
document.
The options on the Visioneer RoadWarrior TWAIN interface
are:
ModeSelect a scanning mode:
Black&White to scan in black and white. The scanning pixels
are all the same size and are either black or white. Use this
setting for letters, memos, and other black and white material.
This scan mode produces the smallest file size.
GrayScale to scan items such as documents containing
drawings or black and white photographs. The scanning
produces an image of up to 256 shades of gray. You can also
scan a color document to turn its colors into gray shades. The
file size is about one third that of a color scan.
Color to scan magazine articles, photographs, and other color
images in full color. Color scans have the largest file size.
ResolutionDrag the slider to the right or left to adjust the dots
dpi; the minimum is 75 dpi. This option determines the amount
of detail you can see in the scanned image. 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. Usually the higher resolution settings are
used for precision work, such as photographs or fine artwork.
Brightness and ContrastSometimes an image is scanned with
the brightness and contrast set too light or too dark. For
example, a note written with a light pencil may need to be
scanned darker to improve legibility. Increasing or decreasing the
brightness makes the scanned image lighter or darker. Contrast
refers to the difference between the lighter and darker portions of
the image. Increasing the contrast emphasizes the difference
between the lighter and darker portions, decreasing the contrast
de-emphasizes that difference. Contrast is used in conjunction
with brightness.
DeskewSelect this option to let the scanner automatically
determine if a page is skewed, and then straighten its image. The
scanner detects page edges and can sense when the page is fed
through at an angle. However, if the page is fed through at too
great an angle, the page will back out of the scanner
automatically. In that case, feed the paper in straight and re-scan
the image.
AutoCrop to OriginalSelect this option to let the scanner
automatically determine the size of the item being scanned. For
example, if you scan a 5" x 7" photo, the scanner will determine
the size of the photo, and the scan area is the size of that photo.
When using the AutoCrop to Original option, always use the paper
guides on the scanner so the page is not skewed.
AutoCrop to LengthSelect this option to let the scanner
automatically crop the scanned document from the top to the
bottom edge of the page, affecting only the length of the
document. The width of the scan area is not affected. The scan
width is determined by the chosen page size.
FilterThe Filter is the ability of your scanner to automatically
remove a color from a scanned item. 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. The Filter option applies to Black&White or
GrayScale Mode.
Reduce Moire PatternsMoire patterns are wavy, rippled lines
that sometimes appear on the scanned images of photographs or
illustrations, particularly newspaper and magazine illustrations.
Note: Also make sure to set the page size larger than the item that
youre scanning so the Autocrop process will have sufficient room on
the page to crop the image properly.
The original with a red
watermark over black text.
The scanned item with the
red filtered out.
Selecting Reduce Moire Patterns will limit or eliminate moire
patterns in the scanned image. This option is only available for
the GrayScale or Color Mode at 200dpi or less.
Define page sizeClick this option to activate the Define
button. Then click the Define button to see the Define page
size dialog box for selecting a specific page size.
Click Standard, click the menu arrow and choose a page size
from the list, or click Custom and enter the horizontal and
vertical page dimensions in the boxes. The maximum size is
8.5" x 14". The units of measurement can be inches or
millimeters. Click the name of the units, inches or mm
(millimeters), to toggle between them.
Click OK.
The currently selected page size appears in the middle of the
TWAIN interface on the left hand side.
The Define page size option cannot be used with AutoCrop to
Length or AutoCrop to Original options.
AutoScan on document insertionYour Visioneer scanner
includes AutoLaunch technology that senses when an item is
inserted into the paper feed and starts scanning immediately.
Select this option to turn on the AutoLaunch feature. The item is
scanned with the current scan settings on the TWAIN interface.
If this option is not selected, the scanner waits for you to click
the Scan button.
1. When youre ready to scan, align the document between the Paper
Guides if your scanner has them, and insert the document into the
paper feed.
2. Click the Scan button (if the AutoScan feature is not turned on).
The scanner starts scanning and a progress box shows the image.
3. If you are not scanning multiple pages, click the Done button on

Maintenance
This chapter contains information on recalibrating, troubleshooting,
cleaning, uninstalling, and scanner specifications.
RECALIBRATING OR CLEANING YOUR SCANNER
You calibrated your scanner during installation, but after many hours of
use you may find that scanned images may not be a sharp and clear as
when you began using the scanner. In that case, recalibration may solve
the problem.
If your scanned images have streaks, smudges, or dirt spots, you may
need to clean the scanner with the Cleaning Paper.
To recalibrate your scanner:
1. Use any of the following methods to start the recalibration or
cleaning:
Right-click on the OneTouch icon in the Windows Notification
Area (at the bottom right corner of the screen) and choose Show
Hardware from the pop-up menu.
The OneTouch Icon
RECALIBRATING OR CLEANING YOUR SCANNER 111
Click the small scanner icon on a OneTouch Panel, or right-click
the scanner icon on the OneTouch Hardware Panel to open the
Hardware Properties window right away.
If you scanning from PaperPort or other TWAIN application,
click the scanner icon at the top right corner of the window.
...or click this icon to open the Hardware
Properties window without having to
choose from the menu.
Right-click this icon...
Click this icon
2. When the Hardware Properties window appears, click the
Properties button
The Device Configuration Properties window opens and shows the

RECALIBRATING OR CLEANING YOUR SCANNER 113
3. To recalibrate the scanner, click the Calibrate button.
To clean the scanner, click the Clean button.
A message appears for you to insert the calibration or cleaning page.
This sample shows the message for inserting the calibration page.
The message for inserting the cleaning page is similar.
4. Insert the calibration page into the page feed.
The scanner grabs the paper and feeds it through the scanner.
The scanner will automatically pass the calibration sheet back and
forth several times.
Do not remove the sheet until calibration is finished.
5. When calibration or cleaning is complete, the page will back out of
the scanner.
If the page passes straight through and does not back out at the end
of the calibration, repeat the process.
6. Close the Device Configuration Properties window, and remove
the calibration paper, or cleaning paper and replace it in its plastic
bag.
Note: Do not discard the cleaning paper. You can use it several times.
If additional cleaning is necessary, add a few drops of isopropyl
alcohol (rubbing alcohol) to the cleaning paper and use it again.
Note: If the calibration page is not available, you can use a piece of
blank white paper as a substitute. However, calibration will not be as
precise as with the regular calibration page.
TROUBLESHOOTING 115
TROUBLESHOOTING
In addition to the troubleshooting information contained in this
section, please see the Readme file in the PaperPort directory on your
computers hard drive. The Readme file contains additional information
that may help you diagnose problems with the scanner.
If you try all the troubleshooting procedures described in this section
and in the Readme file, and the scanner still has problems, you may
have a malfunctioning scanner. Refer to the technical support card you
received with your scanner for technical support information.
Problem: The scanner icon disappeared from the Windows taskbar.
Check for one of these possible problems:
Are the cables loose or not plugged in securely? Inspect the cable
connections. Make sure all cables are plugged in securely.
Is the AC adapter plugged in? Make sure the AC adapter is securely
plugged into a working electrical outlet.
Problem: The scanner wont scan. Whats wrong?
Check for one of these possible problems:
Are the cables loose or not plugged in securely? Inspect the cable
connections. Make sure the cables are plugged in securely.
Did you restart the computer after installing the software? If you
didnt 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 youre 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 different USB port on the computer.
Did you select another scanning source in the PaperPort Scan
Pane? If you use multiple devices with your computer, you may have
selected another source for images. Start the PaperPort software and
click the Scan icon and then make sure Visioneer RoadWarrior is
selected as the scanner.
Problem: 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.
Problem: I got the error message: PaperPort cannot allocate enough
memory to perform internal critical operations. What do I do?
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, import it
into PaperPort by using the Import command in the File menu.
Problem: The installation will not complete successfully. If
installation finishes, the scanners OneTouch 4.0 options do not seem
to work properly. What do I do?
A likely cause is that some driver programs are already installed on your
computer for another scanner. They are interfering with the installation
and OneTouch options, and you need to remove those other drivers and
re-install your Visioneer RoadWarrior scanner. Please see the
documentation that you received with the other scanner for the steps to
remove its driver programs. You can also use the basic steps in the
section To Install Another Driver on page 118, but instead of
uninstalling OneTouch 4.0, uninstall the other scanners driver
programs. After uninstalling the other scanners driver programs,
uninstall OneTouch 4.0 using the steps on page 117, then reinstall it.
Problem: The scanned images are of poor quality even after I
recalibrated and cleaned the scanner. What do I do?
The calibration procedure was not successful. You may have a defective
scanner. Please see the Technical Support Card that you received with
your scanner for the telephone number or email address to contact
Visioneer Technical Support.
Problem: How do I uninstall PaperPort?
See the next section. Uninstalling does not delete your scanned items;
they remain in the PaperPort Data folder.
