Scanner and the Bat
Hello Batters, I have recently bought a Visioneer 8700 scanner with one touch e-mail control. Only thing is, it doesn't see the bat as the e-mail client. Not a major problem as there are workarounds, but it would be nice if possible. Any ideas? -- Best regards, Jim mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

In reply to Jim's message 'Scanner and the Bat' on Sun, 8 Dec 2002 11:31:43 + from [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Jim, JL I have recently bought a Visioneer 8700 scanner with one touch JL e-mail control. Only thing is, it doesn't see the bat as the JL e-mail client. Not a major problem as there are workarounds, but JL it would be nice if possible. Any ideas? Can i suggest... You throw the sucker into Photoshop first, and do every damn thing possible to get that scan as small and as quick to download as possible... The more recent versions of Photoshop have a fantastic little tool for this called 'Save to Web' - its under the file menu, just below the standard save options - use it, learn to love and caress it, and give it a nice big hug when you are finished with a nice bite (byte ;-) sized image. I just say this all through frustration in receiving many a 'one touch scan' in my email and having to wait considerable time for the 2mb image to download through the trusty 'ol 28.8k. But I'm sure an email such as this doesn't need to be sent to TBUDL, because no bat user would do such a stupid thing in the first place, so I'll just go off and hide my head for suggesting this email reply in the first place :-) -- dan. e [EMAIL PROTECTED] w http://www.danhirning.com Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I have photoshop and would indeed reduce the image size to suit an E-mail, incidently, it dosen't see photoshop 7 either!!! Good buy huh! However, I take your point about attachment sizes, even if they are documents. -- Best regards, Jimmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

You can get scanners with better resolution for the price, but the overall setup is something I find very nice--and worth the trade-off. Anyway, try setting up the PaperPort program that came with the scanner to recognize TB. I think the scanner takes its options from there. Open up PaperPort and click on FileLinksCreate a New Link. Follow the prompts to set up a link to The Bat! (or Photoshop 7, or whatever). Close PaperPort. Then open up the Visioneer Configure screen and select the Email tab. Then select the Preferences tab (at the top on the far right) and check the Show all Destinations box. Click OK and go back the email screen. TB should show up in the list of options for you to choose. -- Using The Bat!
