Input buttons are configured to scan documents by default. However, you can configure the input button to automatically scan using a specific device (the default scanner or TOPAZ device or another scanner or TOPAZ device) and/or to use specific scanner settings.

To associate a specific scanner or TOPAZ device with an input button:

  1. In the Front Office Scanning configuration file, locate the DocTypes element.
  2. Identify the DocType sub-element associated with the input button you are configuring.
  3. Within the DocType sub-element, locate the Scanner setting. If this setting is not present, add it to the DocType sub-element.
  4. Depending on the device you wish to specify as the default scanner or TOPAZ device:
    • Set the scanner setting to name of the scanner you wish to set as the Document Type button's default scanner.

      For example: scanner="Panasonic KV-S1025C"

    • To specify the workstation's default TWAIN scanner as the Document Type button's default scanner, set the scanner setting to default.

    • To specify a TOPAZ device as the Document Type button's default device, set the scanner setting to TOPAZ.

      Tip:

      For more information on the Front Office Scanning configuration file's DocTypes element and its DocType sub-elements' settings, including the scanner setting, see The DocTypes Element.

  5. Save and close the configuration file.

If no specific scanner or TOPAZ device is associated with the input button, then, depending on your configuration, the user is prompted to select a device or the Front Office Scanning client's is automatically selected.

If the user is not prompted to select a device and no default scanner or TOPAZ device is specified for the Front Office Scanning client, then the workstation's default scanner is selected.

Tip:

For information on how to configure the Front Office Scanning client to prompt a user to select a scanner or TOPAZ device or to specify a default scanner or TOPAZ device for the Front Office Scanning client, see Specifying Scanners, TOPAZ Devices, or Touchscreen Devices.
