To configure an input button to acquire still images from a webcam:

  1. In the Front Office Scanning configuration file, locate the DocTypes element and identify the DocType sub-element associated with the input button you are configuring.
  2. Within the DocType sub-element, locate the camera setting. If this value is not present, add it to the DocType sub-element.
  3. Set the camera setting to true.

    For example: camera="true"

    Tip:

    For more information on the DocType sub-element and its settings, including the camera setting, see The DocTypes Element.

  4. If you wish to use a webcam that is not set as your workstation's default streaming video device, specify the webcam by name using the cameradevice setting:
    • Within the DocType sub-element, locate the cameradevice setting. If this value is not present, add it to the DocType sub-element.

    • Set the cameradevice setting to the name of the webcam.

      For example: cameradevice="Logitech WebCam C525"

  5. If you wish to adjust the number of seconds the Front Office Scanning client waits before capturing a still image from a webcam, specify this delay interval using the shutterdelay setting:
    • Within the DocType sub-element, locate the shutterdelay setting. If this value is not present, add it to the DocType sub-element.

    • Set the shutterdelay setting to the desired interval, between one and ten seconds.

      For example: shutterdelay="5"

    Note:

    The default delay interval is two seconds.

  6. Save and close the configuration file.
