How To

Installing Grooper Desktop

Installing Grooper Desktop

Grooper Desktop can be installed on any desktop computer used to scan documentation. The Grooper thick client does not have to be installed on the computer for Grooper Desktop to operate.

  1. Open up File Explorer and navigate to your extracted folders.
  2. Open the extracted folder "GrooperDesktop_23.00.xxxx" to reveal the installation files.

  2. Double-click "setup.exe" to start the Grooper Installer.

  2. After reviewing the Welcome page to the InstallShield Wizard, click "Next" to continue.

  2. Read through the End User License Agreement and click the radial button next to "I accept the terms in the license agreement".
  3. Click "Next" to continue.

  2. Now you can choose the location where you want the Grooper Application to be installed. It is recommended to use the default file path.
FYI

Notice that this application is being installed in Program Files (x86). We are installing a 32-bit application because it interfaces with scanners.

  2. Click "Next".

  2. Click the "Install" button to begin installation.

  2. Installation should only take a few minutes. When finished, a window should pop up saying that the installation is complete. Click "Finish" to finalize your installation.

There is one more thing we need to do to finish the installation of Grooper Desktop. We need to reserve a URL for Grooper Desktop to use. See the next tab for instructions on how to do this.


Reserve URL for Grooper Desktop

The first time you run Grooper Desktop, you might notice a notification pop up above your system tray that says Grooper Desktop is "Not Configured".

This is because you need to reserve the URL as the listening location that the service will use to pull from the scanner. We will run a short command line code to reserve this URL.

  1. right click on the Grooper "G" logo in your system tray and click on "Configure..."

  2. When the window pops up, Web Scanning is set to "Disabled".
  3. Click the drop-down arrow and select "Enabled".

  2. Click the down arrow to the left of "Web Scanning" to expand properties.
  3. Down at the bottom, you will see a property called "URL Reservation". It is populated with a netsh command. Select the contents of this property and copy it to your clipboard.

  2. Open a Command Prompt (as an administrator) in Windows and paste the previously copied netsh command. Hit Enter.
  3. The command prompt should return with "URL reservation successfully added".

Now you should be finished with the installation of Grooper Desktop!

Add Your Scanner

Before scanning documentation into Grooper, we need to make sure the correct scanner is selected to run with Grooper Desktop.

  1. In your system task bar, there should be a "G" icon. Right-click and click "Configure".
    • If you do not see the "G" icon in your system task bar, Grooper Desktop may not be running. In that case, just run Grooper Desktop from your start menu.
  2. When the Grooper Desktop window pops up, check to see if Web Scanning has been enabled. If Web Scanning is listed as Disabled, click the drop down menu to switch it to Enabled.
  3. Click the arrow next to Web Scanning to open up the sub properties.
  4. Next to Device, click the drop down menu and select the type of scanner you are using.
  5. Now click the arrow next to Device to access the sub-properties.
  6. Click the drop down menu next to Device Name and select the device you will be using to scan.
  7. With the proper device selected, you can click the ellipsis button next to Device Settings to update scanner properties.
  8. In this example, we have changed the Color mode to 24-bit Color and the Scanning Side to Duplex. Feel free to look through the properties and customize based on your business needs.
