On the left side of the simulator you can choose from the following settings.
The simulator is designed to be a generic presentation of a device display. The actual display on your MFP depends on its capabilities and may differ from the simulator. Using MFP device emulator programs inside the Administration Console is not supported.
Since the presence of an actual device is not required to use this tool, no actual scanning is performed during simulator use. The simulator uses sample TIF or JPEG images stored in the file system. Image parameters (size, color mode, etc.) are read from the sample files, therefore scan settings (paper size, resolution, etc.) inside the simulator may not take effect.
To replace sample simulator images, complete the following steps:
<Common application data folder>\Kofax\ShareScan\Tomcat\Config
(e.g. C:\ProgramData\Kofax\ShareScan\Tomcat\Config) subfolder.Image<n>.<ext>
, where 'n
' is a sequential number and <ext>
is TIF or JPG.Note:
Scanner settings (like paper size, resolution etc.) on the Simulator main screen have no effects on the images streamlined to the Manager for processing, as these images are coming from the folder described above.
