Overview
(Windows operating
systems only)
Smart Touch allows you to quickly and easily perform common
scanning tasks. Nine different functions can be assigned and
performed. Predefined tasks are assigned to the functions so you can
immediately use the functions after installation. However, you can
easily configure each function to handle the tasks that are most
important to you.
Starting Smart Touch After the scanner's driver has been installed, the scanner is properly
connected to the host PC and the Smart Touch application has been
installed, a scanner icon will appear in the system tray.
Smart Touch
runs from the system tray.
Launching from the scanner:
• Press the Scroll button to go through the function numbers and
select the desired function, then press the Start button. The task
associated with the selected function number will be run.

A-62001 1 August 2022 11
File name prefix: if you want to add a prefix to the file name, it will be
attached to the beginning of each file name. This prefix, along with the
date, sequence number and appropriate file extension (e.g., .pdf, .tif)
will be appended to it. For example, if you want the word Invoice before
the file name, enter “Invoice” in the File name prefix field. The files will
be named: Invoice2013-08-27(1).pdf; Invoice2013-08-27(2).pdf, etc.
Name file prior to saving/sending: if selected, the Save As dialog box
will be displayed after the documents are scanned, allowing you to
specify the name of the file and the location where it will be stored. The
Save As dialog box will be displayed each time the function is run.
NOTE: When Name file prior to saving and Separate by barcode are
checked, only the first barcode read in the batch will be used as
the file name. If you want to use the barcode for file naming,
uncheck Name file prior to saving.
Scan Options The following Scan Options are available:
Edit images prior to saving/sending — if selected, the scanned
images will be displayed in an Edit window to allow for editing. See the
section entitled, “Smart Touch Edit window”.
Wait for more pages when feeder empty — if selected, the scanner
will pause when the feeder is empty and prompt you to add more
sheets to the document feeder for scanning.
Add keyword to document file — allows you to add a word to the
document file properties to aid in searching for a file at a later time.
NOTE: Keywords cannot be saved with bitmap or .png files.
Separate after blank sheet — if selected, allows you to put multiple
documents in the feeder with blank sheets between documents. Smart
Touch then creates separate document files for the set of scanned
images after each blank sheet.
NOTE: Blank Image Detection must be set to None in your scanning
application, in order for this feature to work.
Separate by barcode — allows you to configure the scanner to search
your images for a barcode. The scanner will search each image and
decode the first barcode it finds. If selected, allows you to put multiple
barcoded documents in the feeder. Smart Touch then creates separate
document files for the set of scanned images after each barcode.
12 A-62001 1 August 2022
The following barcodes can be detected:
- Interleaved 2 of 5
- Code 3 of 9
- Code 128
- Codabar
- UPC-A
- UPC-E
- EAN-13
- EAN-8
- PDF417
NOTES:
• For optimal barcode detection use a resolution of 300 dpi or higher.
(This note does not apply for i4x50 scanners.)
• When Name file prior to saving and Separate by barcode are
checked, only the first barcode read in the batch will be used as the
file name. If you want to use the barcode for file naming, uncheck
Name file prior to saving.
• Some scanners can read multiple barcodes. If separation by barcode
seems not to be detecting the right barcode for separation, see the
“TWAIN Setup Guide” for your scanner. The setup guide explains
how to configure barcode reading.
Setting — displays the Blank Image Size dialog box. This option allows
you to select the maximum image size that the scanner will consider to
be blank. Any image that is larger than this value will be considered
non-blank and saved as part of the document file.
You can adjust the threshold value for determining blank pages from
Low to High.
NOTES:
• For Smart Touch to determine blank pages the following selections
should be made:
- File Type should not
be .bmp.
- In the Scan as: Scanner window settings:
Blank Image Detection = none
Compression type = JPEG or Group-4
Compression Quality = Draft, Good or Better for Color
• If Smart Touch is not detecting the blank pages on Black and White
documents, go to the Scan as settings. On the Adjustments tab, set
Conversion Quality to either Normal (ATP) or Draft (Fixed).

Setting up Smart
Touch to scan to a
Microsoft Office
SharePoint server
SharePoint is a collaboration and document library tool. Similar to a
conventional network file server, SharePoint provides a centrally-
accessible library where you can collaborate and save documents that
others need shared access to.
Better than a network file server, SharePoint also provides advanced
built-in document management functionality and is accessible anytime
by anyone who is authorized to access scanned documents.
The SharePoint server is typically setup on a central networked server
which is separate from Smart Touch.
Smart Touch provides a way to scan documents that you want to share
and send to the SharePoint server. question
Once the electronic file is uploaded to SharePoint, you can use the
capabilities of SharePoint to manage your scanned documents.
You may need to contact your System Adminstrator to get the correct
URL for the SharePoint server.
Your System Administrator will also give you access to the SharePoint
site and a valid user login and password.
A-62001 1 August 2022 19
You must have contributor-level access to upload the electronic files to
SharePoint.
1. Select the New icon and then SharePoint.
The Scan-to SharePoint Setup dialog box will be displayed.
2. Enter a name in the Destination name field as you want it to appear
in the Destination drop-down list.
20 A-62001 1 August 2022
3. Select a login option. Contact your System Administrator for
authorization to send documents to the site.
• Select Use Windows login if you want to access the SharePoint
server by using the same user login and password that you use
to login into Windows on your PC.
• Select Use SharePoint account if you want to access the
SharePoint server with a unique user login and password. If you
check this option, you must make an entry in the User login and
Password fields.
The User login name may include a domain name. If a domain
name is included, the format that is required by the user would
be: domain\username (domain name followed by a backslash
then the user login name).
4. Enter a Host name URL. The format of the URL is
http://yourhostname/yoursite. This consists of the following:
• Scheme — either http or https.
• Host name — the name of the server. This may include a port
number.
• Site — (optional; may also be entered in the Site field.)
5. Enter or Browse for a Site (name). Browsing may not work if the
user is not allowed access to the top level site (the one entered
under Host name).
6. Enter or Browse for a Library Folder/name. Any Document or
Picture Library can be entered here. To view only a list of Document
Libraries when browsing, select the Show only document libraries
checkbox in the Browse window.
NOTES:
• All file types supported by Smart Touch can be scanned and
uploaded to a SharePoint server. However, the BMP file type creates
larger files and therefore, will take longer to upload.
• Smart Touch automatically generates the file names using the date
and a sequence number. It is recommended that you check the
Name file prior to saving option.
If this option is checked, you will be prompted to enter a filename,
thus making it easier to find the scanned document on the
SharePoint site. You could also use the File name prefix field on the
Configuration window to add a prefix to your files for easy
identification.
• If you frequently scan to different SharePoint sites or folders, you
may want to set up a shortcut for each SharePoint destination.
• The standard SharePoint limits for maximum file size and maximum
length of the file name will apply to any electronic files uploaded to
SharePoint.
A-62001 1 August 2022 21
Smart Touch Upload
status for a SharePoint
destination
Upload Status allows you to check the status of scanned files being
uploaded to the SharePoint server by Smart Touch. Smart Touch
maintains a log file (.txt) that has the status of all SharePoint jobs.
The Upload Status tool is available in the system tray once you have
initiated a job to the cloud. The tool icon is available in the system tray
until you exit the tool.
NOTE: If you are scanning many files to SharePoint, you may want to
leave the Status window open so you can easily monitor the
status of the files as they are being uploaded.
• Click the Smart Touch SharePoint tool icon to display the options.

NOTES:
• For Microsoft Vista and Windows operating systems, you must log in
as a super administrator to configure your system for which
application to launch.
• If you are typically logged on as an administrator when using KODAK
Capture Pro Software and Smart Touch, then the last application
launched will be the one that is used when the Scanner button is
pressed.
How can I restore the task shortcut definitions to the ones that come
with Smart Touch?
Smart Touch does not provide a function to restore the defaults.
However, this can be done by exiting Smart Touch, going to the
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Smart Touch\[model#] directory and deleting
the Settings folder and its contents, and then re-launching Smart Touch
from the Start > Programs menu.
Web Mail
Which Web Mail applications can I use with Smart Touch?
Smart Touch is designed to work with any Web Mail system that uses
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol). For example, Gmail, Hotmail,
AOL and Yahoo Mail use SMTP. You will need to check the Web Mail
providers on-line help to find out the settings required for that Web Mail
system.
What is the difference between the destinations for Email and Web
Mail?
Email should be used as a destination when scanning to an email
system that is MAPI (Messaging Application Programming Interface)
compliant, such as Microsoft Outlook or IBM Lotus Notes. Web Mail
should be used for SMTP based services, such as Gmail and Yahoo
Mail.
