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, and so on) are read from the sample files, therefore scan settings (paper size, resolution, and so on) inside the simulator may not take effect.
To replace sample simulator images, complete the following steps:
- Install ShareScan.
- Browse to the ShareScan installation directory.
- Locate the <Common application data folder>\Kofax\ShareScan\Tomcat\Config (e.g. C:\ProgramData\Kofax\ShareScan\Tomcat\Config) subfolder.
- Replace the images with your own samples. All samples must be of the same format. Follow the naming convention Image<n>.<ext>, where 'n' is a sequential number and <ext> is TIF or JPG.
