To specify a default scanner, TOPAZ device, or touchscreen to be used each time a user scans/creates a document:

  1. In the Front Office Scanning configuration file, locate the ScanOptions element.
  2. Within the ScanOptions element, ensure that the promptForFirstDevice setting is set to false.
  3. Within the ScanOptions element, locate the scanner setting. If this value is not present, add it to the ScanOptions element.
  4. Depending on the device you wish to specify as the default scanner, TOPAZ device, or touchscreen device:
    • Set the scanner setting to name of the scanner you wish to set as the Front Office Scanning client's default scanner.

      For example: scanner="Panasonic KV-S1025C"

    • To specify the workstation's default TWAIN scanner as the Front Office Scanning client's default scanner, set the scanner setting to default.

    • To specify a TOPAZ device as the Front Office Scanning client default device, set the scanner setting to TOPAZ.

    • To specify a touchscreen device (for example, a tablet) as the Front Office Scanning client default device, set the scanner setting to touchscreen.

      Tip:

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

  5. Save and close the configuration file.
