Setting Up Art-Copy: Setting up the Default Application

In order to setup the “Scan to Application” one button scan function from Art-Copy’s main interface you will be prompted to choose the application you wish the image files to be transferred into. This does not mean that each application you choose will support the image formats being transferred. In order to setup the “Scan to Application” function you will need to follow the instructions below.

NOTE: These are instructional steps detailing how to setup applications to handle transferred images. These steps may not work for every situation. Attempting to scan an image file without an OCR operation to be transferred to a text editable program will not automatically allow you to edit the text of the document after scanning.

1.) Open Art-Copy

2.) Click on the File menu then select “Setup”

3.) Click on the “Application” tab to display the application settings

4.) Scroll the application listing then click on the program you plan to use

When the application is selected the supported file type area will populate with the supported formats already assigned to the program. If you know that the application should be able to handle say a Tiff file, but the format is not shown. Click the “Add new” file type button. This will display a list of Art-Copy supported files that you can assign to the specified application. Art-Copy will see these formats, but just because Art-Copy is programmed to send the specified file format to the application that the application will support the file type.

Always Send to Default Application Option

If you want to assign a program to automatically accept the “Scan to application” button function so that you will not need to specify what program to send the created files to each time. Set the default application by scrolling the listing of applications, select the program you wish to use, and select either the default application setting “Image (Single Page)”, “Image (Multiple Page)”, or “Text (OCR)” (Enterprise Only). Once you’ve decided what the default application type will be you simply need to click the “Always send to default application” button located on the bottom of the Application tab. If you do not select the “Always send to default application” option you will be prompted with the dialog window below upon each use of the “Scan to Application” button from the main interface.
