VRS Installation Guide

Creating a Scan Source

During the VRS installation process, you are presented with a list of certified scanners. 
If your scanner does not appear on the list and a VRS Component Installer is not 
available for your scanner, you should use the procedure in this section to create a 
source that provides the drivers required to use the non-certified, “compatible” 
scanner with VRS. For more information, refer to 

VRS Scanners: Certified vs. Non-

Certified

 on page 4 or 

VRS Component Installers

 on page 5. 

Note  

To determine if a VRS Component Installer is available for your scanner, refer to 

the Downloads Library link from the Support pages on the Kofax Web site.

You should also use the procedure in this section if you are using an Adrenaline SCSI 
scanner controller 

without

 VRS, and you require a scan source other than “XYZ Scanner 

without SVRS,” which is created automatically during the Adrenaline installation 
process.

X

To create a scan source

1

From the Windows Control Panel, launch the Kofax Source Manager (KSM) 
and click Next when the KSM dialog box displays.
