Note:

E-Forms cannot be viewed in Full Screen View.

Monitor cloning is initiated and exited by the Front Office Scanning user; however, monitor cloning can only be initiated while a document is being viewed in Full Screen View.

Tip:

For information on how to display a document in Full Screen View, see Full Screen View.

In order to use monitor cloning, the Front Office Scanning workstation must meet the following requirements:

  • The video card must support cloning and allow a hotkey combination to initiate and exit clone mode.

  • The hotkey combination specified for the CloneStart and CloneStop settings in the Front Office Scanning configuration file must be configured for the video card to switch between the display modes.

    See the video card's documentation for further information.

  • The video card's software needs to be running in order to detect when the user presses the hotkey combination to enter/exit monitor cloning.

Tip:

For optimal operation, use monitors with the same resolution.

Some video cards require two different hotkey combinations to enter and exit monitor cloning, whereas some require only one to toggle monitor cloning on/off. For video cards that use one hotkey combination to toggle monitor cloning on/off, the same hotkey sequence should be specified for both the CloneStart and CloneStop settings.

To enable cloning:

  1. In the Front Office Scanning configuration file, locate the Display element.
  2. Within the Display element, locate the CloneStart setting. If this value is not present, add it to the Display element.
  3. Set the CloneStart setting to the hotkey combination used to initiate monitor cloning. For example:
    CloneStart="CTRL+ALT+F7"

    The keys are case-insensitive and a maximum combination of 4 keys can be specified per hotkey sequence. The individual keys need to be separated by a plus sign (+) sign. For a list of supported keys for hotkey combinations, see Supported Hot Keys.

    Note:

    Front Office Scanning does not support multiple hot key sequences (i.e., where a sequence of keys are pressed and released and then another set of keys are pressed and released).

  4. Set the CloneStop setting to the hotkey combination used to exit monitor cloning. For example:
    CloneStop="CTRL+ALT+F8"

    The keys are case-insensitive and a maximum combination of 4 keys can be specified per hotkey sequence. The individual keys need to be separated by a plus sign (+) sign. For a list of supported keys for hotkey combinations, see Supported Hot Keys.

    Note:

    Front Office Scanning does not support multiple hot key sequences (i.e., where a sequence of keys are pressed and released and then another set of keys are pressed and released).

    Tip:

    For more information on the Front Office Scanning configuration file's Display element and the CloneStart and CloneStop settings, see The Display Element.

  5. Save and close the configuration file.
