Microtek ScanPotter Reference Manual 1
Introduction
ScanPotter is scanning software developed exclusively for Microtek scanners
running on a Mac system. ScanPotter has a unique and clean interface that
users will find productive and easy to use.
•
All-in-one and instinct control panel — ScanPotter’s single-page overall
control panel gives you the power to scan photos, slides, films or
documents without having to initiate a scanning session on the screen. It
provides a simple and straightforward control over the scanning process.
•
Supports online software updating — ScanPotter allows you directly to
check whether there is a newer version of the software for your scanner to
use directly from its user interface. Simply link your computer to the
Internet and choose the Check for Updates utility from the menu at the top
of the user interface, the software will handle the rest steps for updating.
•
Supports multiple scan frames — ScanPotter allows you to assign several
subframes on one scanned image and then save them under different files.
This feature simplifies repeated boring steps into one simple and instant
click action.
•
Supports the newest JPEG 2000 format — ScanPotter allows you to save
the scanned materials in the JPEG 2000 format. JPEG 2000 format files
have several distinguished advantages, such as superior compression
performance, multiple resolution representation, lossless and lossy
compression, and random code-stream access and processing.
•
Barcode Separator— With this feature, you can group your scanned files by
the use of the barcode on your scanned materials. ScanPotter can identify
the unique value of each barcode and use it to differentiate your scanned
materials in groups. It offers you a simply but effective way to manage and
organize piles of paper documents in a digital format.
•
Save multiple images as a single file — This advanced feature allows users
to save multiple scanned images as a single file, depending on the number of
the scanned images that are defined for document archival.
