Scanner Configuration Dialog Box

Scanner Model

Select the scanner you are using. After you select the scanner, the configuration information in this dialog is automatically updated based on what is appropriate for the scanner. For example: the EZData scanner does not have a Transport Printer, hardware Bar Code reader, or Select Stacker, so those items are not listed as options when that scanner is selected. The EZData scanner select stacker function is built into the scanner; it uses the front card feed area to reject a document.

Transport Printer, Hardware Bar Code, and Select Stacker (OpScan 3/4/4U, and 4)

Check these if your scanner is equipped with these options and you want ScanTools software to control and use them. Checking these items enables them for use by ScanTools software so be certain that your scanner is actually equipped with them. Auto Configure does not detect the presence of this optional equipment.

NOTE: For the Select Stacker on OpScan 3/4/4U and iNSIGHT 4 scanners, determine whether the scanner has a select stacker and configure the software accurately. This is important because during scanning, ScanTools software always stops on an unknown form whenever the scanner does not have a select stacker. If ScanTools' knowledge of your scanner configuration is incorrect and it is told there is a select stacker when there is not one, and the Stop Scanner on System Errors check box in the Scanning Options dialog is unchecked, scanning continues on unknown timing marks and unknown form ID marks, causing unrecognized sheets to be ignored.

Select this check box if you want ScanTools software to record statistics on scanning operations to an operations log file. The file is located the ScanTools Data Files directory, in a file named OPERATE.LOG. For an example of what is in this file, see Operations Log.

The first time this is selected, the file is created after the scanning run. If this option is left on, data is added to the file after each scanning run, and the file continues to grow in size. Once the file is created, ScanTools software does not delete it. If turned off, no entry is added to the file. You can change this setting before you scan, as needed.
