Registry values can be created in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE or the HKEY_CURRENT_USER subtree, depending on whether settings should be applied at a workstation level or a user level.
By default, the Scan Acquisition Server looks for and stores certain configuration settings in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE in the system registry. When settings are stored in this location, they default to the settings last used on the workstation. As an alternative, you can store settings at the user account level ( HKEY_CURRENT_USER in the system registry) to allow different settings for each user account. When settings are stored in HKEY_CURRENT_USER , they must be configured for each user account under which the Scan Acquisition Server will be used.
Configuration settings fall into two categories: general settings and scan settings. General settings are the current thumbnail settings. Scan settings include the following:
-
Current scan system
-
Current Kofax device
-
Kofax Disk Source name
-
Kofax Scan Source name
-
Default scan from disk folder
-
Current ISIS device
-
Sweep file extension filtering
-
Default sweep path
-
Default sweep file
-
Current TWAIN device
-
Last used scan format
Note: The last used scan format setting does not respect the ScanHKCU setting in the EpicIntegrations.config file. The ScanFormat value must be stored in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry store (and not in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry store). -
Last used Single File Import path
To specify where general and scan settings are stored, the following settings exist in the <Init> element of the EpicIntegrations.config file:
-
GeneralHKCU —Specifies where general settings are stored. See GeneralHKCU.
-
ScanHKCU —Specifies where scan settings are stored. See ScanHKCU.
