Accessing the Scanner Interface
Every scanning application will access the scanner using a different method. Below is a brief list of 
common applications and how to initiate a scan from within that application, including some of the 
applications which may have been provided with your scanner. Please refer to the application’s user 
guide for instructions on using the application and accessing the scanner.
•
Visioneer OneTouch: Open the Visioneer OneTouch properties window and under the configuration 
list select 
Configure Before Scan. Click on OK to save the changes and close Visioneer OneTouch. 
The next time you scan using that button, the scanner interface will open for you to set the scan 
options and start scanning.
•
Nuance PaperPort: On the toolbar click on the scanner icon to open the scan pane on the left side 
of the PaperPort desktop. Click on the 
Select... button to open the scanner selection window. Select 
either the TWAIN or WIA driver for your scanner model and then click 
OK. If you get a message 
that the scanner is not in the PaperPort database, follow the instruction on-screen to run the 
Scanner Setup Wizard.
•
Nuance OmniPage: Go to To o l s, then select Options.... Click on the Scanner tab, then click on Setup. 
Follow the instructions on-screen to setup OmniPage to work with the scanner. 
Choosing TWAIN or WIA
A note about your scanner and the TWAIN standard:
TWAIN is a widely recognized standard that computers use to receive images from scanners and 
digital cameras. The TWAIN scanning interface can be accessed from any TWAIN scanning application 
you have installed on the computer. The driver interface described herein is the TWAIN driver that has 
been developed for your scanner. However, there are some applications that have their own TWAIN 
interface. If you are scanning from a software application, and see the interface shown in this section, 
you can use these instructions to scan with the TWAIN interface. If you do not see this TWAIN 
interface, please refer to your scanning application’s user guide for instructions.
A note about your scanner and Microsoft WIA (Windows Image Acquisition):
The WIA platform has been developed to enable image transfer from devices using standard Windows 
applications, such as Paint or Windows Fax and Scan, without the need to install additional scanning 
software. Microsoft has developed its own interface for using the scanner with the Windows 
applications, as well as any other WIA compatible applications you may have installed. However, when 
using a WIA 2.0 compatible application, the default behavior will display the TWAIN interface as 
described in this document. You can change the driver behavior to show the Windows interface instead 
of the custom interface described herein. Please refer to Driver Settings for the Hardware Properties 
and Interface Behavior on page 186 for more information. 
Please refer to your Windows documentation for WIA scanning instructions if you do not see the 
interface described below, or if you have any questions regarding Windows scanning applications.

Scanning
Some features described herein may not be available for the current scanner. Please disregard any 
information about features that you do not see in the interface for your scanner.
NOTE: Visioneer Acuity must be installed for the image processing options, described in this document, 
to be available in the interface for your scanner. Only features that are appropriate for your scanner will 
be enabled after Visioneer Acuity is installed. Visioneer Acuity is automatically installed when you 
install the scanner driver from the installation disc. If you downloaded the scanner driver from our 
website, make sure you also download and install Visioneer Acuity.
1. Load the document(s) in the scanner.
2. Adjust the settings in the interface for the item you are scanning.
3. Click on the 
Scan button.

Using the Preview Window
Clicking the Preview button will display the preview window for the scanner interface. Use the preview 
option if you want to scan and display a sample image that reflects the current settings in the main 
interface. After the preview is displayed, you can then adjust the settings in the main interface until 
you are happy with how the sample image looks. The preview window is also where you can define 
custom scan regions. Please refer to Scan Regions for instructions on creating and scanning custom 
regions.
To use the preview window:
1. Select the initial scan settings you want to use for the preview image and scanning.
If you want to modify the settings for a particular preset, make sure you select that preset before 
continuing. 
2. Click the 
Preview button to open the preview window.
If there is a page in the scanner, the scanner will scan and display a sample image in the preview 
window.  If you do not have a page in the scanner when you click Preview, the preview window will 
open and display an empty scan area.  You will need to place a page in the scanner and click Get 
preview to scan and display a sample image.
3. The preview window displays the scan area and the current scan region. This scan region reflects 
the paper size currently selected in the main interface. When you pass the mouse cursor over the 
scan region it will highlight for you to move or resize it. If you move, resize, or add scan regions the 
main interface will display 
User defined for the page size. Please refer to Scan Regions for 
instructions on creating, resizing and deleting regions.
Click the zoom in or zoom out button to zoom in or out on the preview image in 15% steps.  Click 
the up or down arrows for the Zoom level box to zoom in or out on the preview image in 5% steps.  
Click the zoom to fit button to fit the entire preview area within the preview window.

4. Click Show main UI to bring the main scanner interface in front of the preview window for you to 
adjust the scan settings. 
There are some settings in the main interface, such as brightness and contrast, which will 
immediately update the preview image after you adjust the setting. Other settings, such as 
changing from color scanning to black and white scanning, will not automatically update the 
sample image.
If you select any of the document image adjustment options, such as an option to automatically 
crop, straighten or rotate an image, it will not show in the sample image preview. The preview 
window displays an unaltered view of the item size and position in the scanner. Any document 
image adjustment options will be used while scanning and saving images.
5. After you adjust the scan settings, click 
Refresh preview to get a new sample image that reflects 
the most current settings in the main interface.
6. When you are happy with the sample image, you can click 
Scan in the preview window or in the 
main interface to scan and save the image with the current scan settings. 
						

							Xerox® DocuMate® 3115
User’s Guide149
When you scan, any settings you adjusted are automatically saved to the Last used settings preset.  
These settings are not retained in a preset until you click 
Save in the main interface to save the settings 
to the current preset, or save them to a new preset using the 
Save as dialogue.  If you select a different 
preset from the 
Presets list before scanning, the changes you made will be discarded.
Scan Regions
You can use the preview window to create custom scan regions for the scanner to use for scanning. For 
example, if you want to scan only a specific area of the image, you can move and resize a scan region 
to focus only on the area you want to scan. The final image will be only the size of the region you set.
Important: do not change the page size for the scanned image after you create custom regions. When 
you have set a custom region in the preview window, the page size field will display “user defined” 
indicating you have specified one or more custom regions for scanning. Changing the page size after 
you create a custom region discards the custom regions and sets a single scan region to the size you 
selected in the page size list.
Creating custom scan regions:
1. Select the preset you want to use for scanning.
2. In the main interface click 
Preview to open the preview window.
If no previous custom scan regions have been created for the preset you selected, the preview 
window will have a single scan region that is the page size for the current preset. This region will be 
labeled number 1 and be displayed as an outline in the preview area.
3. Place an item in the scanner and then click 
Get preview.
4. The scanner scans and displays a sample image.

5. Move or resize region 1 until the sample image area you want is within the scan region. 
Resize the region by clicking on one edge of the region outline and dragging the mouse. Move the 
region by clicking in the region then dragging the mouse. Please refer to Move, Resize, or Delete 
Regions for detailed instructions.
6. Create additional scan regions as needed by clicking anywhere in the sample image, hold your 
mouse button down, and then drag your mouse to create a scan region. Release the mouse button 
when the area you want is within the rectangle.
If you want to create a region that overlaps another region, hold the 
Ctrl (control) key on the 
keyboard while you click and drag the mouse to create the region. You can release the 
Ctrl key 
after you start creating the overlapping region. You only need to hold down the Ctrl key if the 
starting point of the overlapping region is over another region. If you do not hold down the Ctrl 
key, when you click on the area that has already been set as a region you will move the existing 
region.
7. Click 
Close when you are done creating scan regions.
