Scanning
Your scanner needs to be driven by certain type of software program. Since all
documents or images (whether text or pictures) that are acquired from the scan-
ner are treated by your computer as images, most scanning will probably be
done from an image-editing program where you can view, edit, save and output
the scanned images. An image-editing program has been bundled for your
scanner on the included Setup/Application CD-ROM. It will allow you to alter
and correct any scanned images by using a variety of filters, tools and effects.
What about scanning text documents and editing them in a word processor?
This is the role of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software. OCR software
converts the image files that are created from scanning text documents into text
files that can be viewed, edited and saved by word processors. An OCR pro-
gram has also been bundled on the included Setup/Application CD-ROM, and
if you wish to use the scanner in this way you should install the OCR software
that is included.
DI Capture, as its name suggests, is a specialized document image capture
program that allows you to conveniently digitize your paper documents and
automatically save their electronic files in the designated folder. If you are not
familiar with scanning, the Scan Wizard will guide you through each scanning
task.
The DocAction program, seamlessly integrating the operation of your scanner
with your computer and other peripherals, provides a quick and convenient way
to perform various scanning functions. With DocAction, you don’t need to adjust
settings every time you scan. Simply press any button on the scanner’s front
panel or click any scanning menu item of DocAction on the screen. The scanner
starts to scan your paper documents and transfer them to your assigned desti-
nation. The destination can be a printer, your e-mail program, files on your disk
drives, an image-editing program, etc.
Please refer to the online help of each program to guide you through any ques-
tions you may have while scanning within that program.
