Scanning Option Settings

Select Tools -> Options from the menu. Click on the Scanning tab.

 

 

Select Scanner(s)

Select  your primary imaging device from the drop down list of available scanners. By default the button will have a caption of  &Scan. You can change this to suit your needs. The & symbol in the caption will create a shortcut key for the button. &Scan will show up on the button as Scan, and the Alt +S shortcut will trigger the key.

 

You can add a secondary imaging device if you have one. Select your secondary scanner from the drop down list. This will add a second button with the caption that you designate on the right side of the main screen. If you do not have a second scanner choose (None Available) from the list.

 

Configure

The configure button next to each drop down list will open an options screen for the scanner. Each scanner has a different options screen with settings for that scanner. You can click F1 while on the options screen for your scanner, to get additional help. Make sure that you have the scanner connected and powered on before starting the computer. NOTE:  If you click the configure button and the scanner is not connected the options screen will take a long time to show up as it attempts to initialize the scanner.

 

Printer Text

The printer text can be set from this screen. Simply type the text that you would like printed on the check in the text box, or select from the list of previous entries. If you want to insert dynamic data from 'Batch' fields you can add them by clicking the elipsis button next to the Printer Text dropdown. Select the field from the list that appears. The batch data will be inserted at the location of the cursor in the Printer Text dropdown. You can also set the Printer Text  from the scanner configuration screen  which you can open by clicking the configure button.  You will not have the options for adding the batch fields from the scanner configuration screen. You only have the option of adding the date to the Printer Text from there by typing in the following macro {DATE}.  It will be replaced by the current date when printing.  

 

NOTE: From the scanner configuration screen, you must check the 'Application supplies Printer Text' check box to use the printer text and dynamic fields from the EZ-Scan options screen.

 

NOTE: Using the dynamic 'Batch' field printing will slow down the performance of the  scanner. For maximum speed you must use the printer text from the scanners configuration screen. If you want to use the Printer Text from the scanner configuration screen, make sure to uncheck the 'Application supplies Printer Text' check box and clear any text from the EZ-Scan Printer Text.
