Installing Grooper Desktop

Grooper Desktop is a lightweight application required to scan paper documents into Grooper. Furthermore:

• Grooper Desktop runs in the background and must be on in order to scan.
• Grooper Desktop must be installed on any desktop computer connected to a document scanner used for scanning.
• Once installed, users will use the Review activity's "Scan Viewer" to scan documents into Grooper.
• Grooper Desktop "listens" for users operating the Scan Viewer, drives the scanner, and sends all images coming from the scanner to the Grooper Repository via web calls.

Using the Scan Viewer

Selecting and configuring a scanner

If the Scan Viewer is not set up with a default Scanner Profile, you will be able to choose and configure a scan device from the Scan Viewer.

• This is the default Scan Viewer configuration.
• For Grooper designers wanting more info on how to set up a Scan Viewer in this way, see below.

Selecting a saved Scanner Profile

If the Scan Viewer is configured with a "Scanner Profiles Folder", users will be able to select from a list of preconfigured Scanner Profiles. This allows users to select a pre-saved scanner configuration instead of manually configuring the settings.

• For Grooper designers wanting more info on how to set up a Scan Viewer in this way, see below.
