the OneTouch destination list. You can only delete an application that you have added, the destinations that 
are linked when OneTouch is installed cannot be deleted.
General OCR settings—click in the OCR settings boxes for the options you want. The options will apply to all the 
applications in the group. 
•Always send a file, even when no text was found—the scanned file is sent to the application even if the 
image does not appear to contain text. This could occur if you scanned a photograph with a scanner button 
set for text applications.
•Show message if text recognition failed—a message will open on the screen if the OCR reader does not 
detect text in the image.
Adding Text Editor Applications to OneTouch
1. To add another application to the list, click the Add application button. The Add Text Based Link dialog box 
opens.
2. Click Browse to find the application you want to add to the list.
When you select the application using the Browse button, Steps 1 and 2 on the dialog box are automatically 
filled in, and the application icon appears in Step 3.
3. Select the icon in Step 3 of the dialog box. That is the icon that will appear in the OneTouch Destination List.
4. In Step 4 of the dialog box, select the file formats that the application will accept. 
–HTML Formatted file—select this option when you want to scan to your web browser for posting HTML 
pages to a website. Even though word processing applications, such as Notepad and Word can open 
*.htm files, you cannot scan as *.htm to word processing text editors. Scanning as HTML creates a 
directory with the *.htm file and linked images for website use. Word processing applications cannot 
accept a directory structure for image and text transfer.
–Rich Text Format—select this option if your application can open *.rtf files, which are plain text 
documents that contain formatting. Microsoft’s WordPad application is a compatible application for the 
*.rtf file formation.

User’s Guide 6-74–Standard ASCII text file—select this option if you want to have plain text, without formatting, sent to 
your text editing application. Most text editing applications will accept plain text (*.txt) files.
–Adobe PDF format—select this option if you are adding a PDF viewing or editing application to the list. 
This PDF format is an image format only, it will not recognize the document using OCR, and you will not 
be able to search or edit the text in the final file. The application you are adding must be able to open 
*.pdf files.
–Adobe searchable PDF—this is the PDF image format with a hidden searchable text layer. You will not 
be able to edit the text the file. The application you are adding must be able to open *.pdf files.
The options you select at Step 4 determine the page format icons in the OneTouch Properties window 
for that group of applications. Refer to the documentation you received with the application to see 
which text formats the application accepts. 
5. When you are done making changes in this window, click the Add button to accept the changes and close 
the window. 
6. Click OK on the Link Properties window.
7. Click Refresh on the OneTouch Properties window and the new application should now be available.
Creating an HTML Web Page from Your Scanned Documents
1. Open the OneTouch Properties window. 
2. Select your web browser as the Destination Application and choose HTML as the Format.
3. Choose a Scan Configuration that has the settings for how you want any images, on the pages you are 
scanning, to be displayed. For example, choose a color or grayscale scan configuration if your documents 
contain images that you want posted to your website with the HTML text. 
4. Click OK.
5. Start scanning using the button you selected for scanning with the HTML format.
When scanning is finished, the document is first converted to editable text using the OCR process, then 
converted into an HTML format. Any images detected by the OCR engine are isolated and linked as *.gif files.
6. Microsoft Internet Explorer, or other web browser you scanned to, then opens showing your converted page. 
The application’s URL field shows the location where OneTouch saved the HTML files for you to locate and 
post to your website.

Image Editors
Image editors include Microsoft Paint and other drawing and graphics applications. 
Supported file formats—the available file formats are based on the selected destination application. For 
example, you can scan to Microsoft’s Paint application as a BMP, GIF, PNG, or JPG, but not as TIFF. Please refer to 
Image Formats on page 44 for more information on which image formats OneTouch supports.
Destination type—this destination type is classified as a “Simple Image Link”. To make it available in the 
destination list, you must select Image editors (i.e. Paint) on the Options tab in the OneTouch Properties window. 
If the image editing application you are using does not appear in the Select destination list, you can add the 
application using the Image Documents OneTouch Link Properties window. 
1. In the OneTouch Properties window select one of the default image editors such as Microsoft Paint.
2. Click on the Properties button to open the Image Documents OneTouch Link Properties window.
From this window you can add an application and set additional document handling options.
Note that if you recently installed an application, click the Refresh button to see if OneTouch will 
automatically configure the link before you try adding it manually.

Image Documents Properties
These properties apply to Microsoft Paint and other image processing applications.
•Add application—click this button to open the Add Simple Image Link dialogue so you can add other image 
editing applications to OneTouch. 
•Delete application—select an application in the list then click this button to remove the application from 
the OneTouch destination list. You can only delete an application that you have added, the destinations that 
are linked when OneTouch is installed cannot be deleted.
Color document handling—click in the Color document handling settings boxes for the options you want. These 
options will apply to all the applications in the group.
•Convert Bitmaps using Screen Resolution—use this option to ensure that an image will fit on the 
computer’s screen. When a computer screen is set to a lower resolution, bitmap images with a higher 
resolution may be too big to fit on the screen. Converting the bitmap image to match the screen resolution 
ensures that the image fits on the screen.
•Convert Bitmaps to JPEG—JPEG files can be compressed to produce smaller file sizes and, therefore, shorter 
transmission times. Use this option to provide that compression capability to image files.

PDF Applications
PDF destinations are applications that can open and/or edit the Adobe PDF file format. 
Supported file types—applications in the PDF destination group support the *.pdf file format. When the 
OmniPage module or software is installed, OneTouch includes an option to scan as sPDF or nPDF. Selecting either 
of these two formats still creates a *.pdf file, but the “s” and “n” letters indicate that OCR will process the image 
before sending the file to the PDF application. 
•sPDF—this format creates a *.pdf file that contains the original image of the scanned page, with a hidden 
text layer that allows you to search for text in the file.
•nPDF—this format creates a *.pdf file that can be edited in a PDF application. Any pictures in the scanned 
image are isolated from the text, the text on the page is recognized and turned into editable text, and the 
pictures are placed back into the document in the same flow as the original document. 
Destination type—this destination type is classified as “PDF Link”. To make it available in the destination list, 
you must select PDF applications on the Options tab in the OneTouch Properties window.
If the PDF application you are using does not appear in the Select destination list, you can add the application 
using the Text Documents OneTouch Link Properties window. 
1. Click on the Options tab in the OneTouch Properties window.
2. Make sure PDF applications and Text editing applications are selected then click back on the button tab.
Please note that any PDF application you add manually to OneTouch will be classified as a “Text Based Link.” 
These applications will only show in the destination list when Text editing applications are enabled.
