Q:    How do I sort the thumbnails? 

A:    Follow these steps to sort by Name, Type, Size, Date, Author or Keyword: 

1. Click 

View

 and then select 

Sort

2. 

Select the preferred sort type. 

Q:    How can I improve unsatisfactory results after converting a document? 

A:    Unsatisfactory results may be caused by the following: 

  Low scanning resolution. Scan the document at a minimum of 300 dpi and black & white 

(line-art). 

  The original document was not clear or it was a faxed page. 

  Multiple columns or tables were included.   

  Ensure the OCR language is correct in 

Preferences

Q:    What is the Search function used for? 

A:    You can search for folders or files by the properties you specify, including title, author, 

keywords, memo and annotations. Searching the backup files is also available. 

Q:    What is the easiest method for attaching multiple documents in a single email? 

A:    This function assumes Microsoft Outlook is your email client. 

Follow these steps: 

1. 

In the Tree View window, select the desired multiple documents.   

2. 

(Optional)

 You can stack the group of selected documents by right-clicking the group and 

selecting 

Stack

3. 

Drag and drop the selected documents on the 

Outlook

 icon in the Application bar. 

4. 

Outlook opens a new email message window with the selected documents automatically 
attached. 

Q:    How can I save images as multi-page TIFF files? 

A:    Follow these steps: 

1. 

In the Tree view window, select the desired multiple documents. 

2. Click 

the   

Save As

 button. 

3. Select 

TIFF-multi page (*.TIF) 

under the 

Save as type

 option. 

4. 

Enter the desired 

File name

5. 

Please note that some programs can’t read multiple-page TIFF files correctly (i.e., Adobe 
Photoshop). 

PageManager

ACDSee

 and 

Windows Imaging

 can read multiple-page 

TIFF files correctly. 

Q:    How can I back up files containing annotations when moving them to a different 

computer? 

A:   Normally, you select 

Backup

 from the 

File

 menu or export all files to a Wrapper file. However, 

if you want to restore the files with annotations to another computer, you can only use a 
Wrapper file based on the PageManager original design. Follow these steps: 

1. 

Stack the scanned images. 

2. Export 

to 

Presto! Wrapper file

 (xxxx.exe). 

3. Use 

the 

Import

 option from the Presto! Wrapper function under the 

File

 menu to open 

on another computer. 

Q:    How do I use the basic Backup function? 

A:    You can back up or restore important files, which are compressed as PMF files. 

Follow the instructions in the 

“Back up Files”

 section on page 29.
