Note:

This setting can be applied globally (i.e., to all documents scanned via the Front Office Scanning client) or at the Document Type level. The following information applies to setting this setting globally; for more information on specifying this setting at the Document Type level, see Configuring Scanning Options at the Document Type Level.

Depending on the needs of your scanner, data can be transmitted between the scanner using buffered transfer mode or native transfer mode.

Tip:

Buffered transfer mode is the preferred method of transferring data from the scanner to the Front Office Scanning client. Native transfer mode is required for some older TWAIN devices.

By default, data is transferred to the Front Office Scanning client using buffered transfer mode. To configure the Front Office Scanning client to use native transfer mode:

  1. In the Front Office Scanning configuration file, locate the ScanOptions element.
  2. Within the ScanOptions element, locate the NativeMode setting. If this value is not present, add it to the ScanOptions element.
  3. Set the NativeMode setting to true. For example:
    NativeMode="True"
    Tip:

    For more information on the Front Office Scanning configuration file's ScanOptions element and its settings, including the NativeMode setting, see The ScanOptions Element.

  4. Save and close the configuration file.

To configure the Front Office Scanning client to use buffered transfer mode, set the NativeMode setting to false (i.e., NativeMode="False").
