18. WINDOWS XP AND PANEL CONTROL OF THE SCANNER
The XP Windows Image Acquisition Device Driver Interface (WIADDI) supports custom scanner interfaces allowing
SmartLF Gx/GxT hardware to start key program operations. The SmartLF Gx/GxT scanner SCAN and COPY buttons
can be used to start and stop these primary software functions from the scanner control panel instead of, or in
conjunction with the software. They operate with the standard SmartLF, ScanWorks and CopySmart software but only
with the Windows XP operating system. To set up the panel buttons go to the Windows XP Control Panel and set the
properties for ‘Scanners and Cameras’ to TAKE NO ACTION as below.
IMPORTANT : TO START SCANNING OR COPYING FROM THE SCANNER PANEL WHILST USING SMARTLF
S/W, THE RELEVANT BUTTON ON THE SCANNER MUST BE PRESSED FOR AT LEAST 0.5 SECONDS
19. TESTING AND SCANNING USING ONLY THE DRIVER (WIA)
After the SmartLF driver has been installed Explorer should
show the scanner (must be powered and connected) under
Scanners and Cameras. If it is not visible click Scanners and
Cameras in the Control Panel.
By right-clicking the Explorer entry then clicking Scan or Get
picture using Scanner Wizard the user can force the scanner
to scan to file.
Alternatively using the Select TWAIN source and Acquire
options from the File pull-down of most Microsoft scanner-
friendly applications the SmartLF user can scan directly into the
application (no file necessary). See screenshot.
NOTE: The scanner WIA driver (Jan 2007) is not yet compatible
with Twain/ WIA acquire software expecting automatic switching
to WIA.
