The following procedure provides the basic steps for scanning an item.
You can scan many types of items, from small business cards to A4-sized
pages. The PaperPort software also has special settings for scanning color
photos and fine print (like the fine print on a contract). For more
information about scan settings, see “Adjusting Scan Settings in
PaperPort” on page 23.
To scan an item:
1. Open the scanner cover, place the item face down onto the upper
left edge of the scanner glass, and close the cover.
2. If PaperPort isn’t running, double-click the PaperPort icon on the
Windows Desktop to start it. The PaperPort Desktop appears.
3. Click the Twain icon on the Command Bar,
or choose Acquire
from the
File
menu.
4. The PaperPort Scan Manager dialog box appears.
5. Click the Preview button on the Scan Manager dialog box.
The scanner scans the item and displays a preview. You use the
Preview feature to make sure the image is correct before scanning
the item as a final image.
The following figure is a sample of the Scan Manager dialog box.
