Getting Documents

Getting Pages From a Scanner

You can use a scanner to get one page at time by using the Get Page button, or use a

scanner with Auto OCR to get multiple pages automatically. This section tells you

how to:

■ Set scanning options

■ Get one page using Get Page

■ Get pages with Auto OCR

Setting Scanning Options

To set scanner settings for your scanner, such as the resolution, brightness, and page

orientation, see the documentation that came with your scanner. You can set the

following processing options in Pro OCR by choosing Options from the Tools menu:

■ Straightening Skewed Images. Automatically straightens type that is skewed

(crooked) on a page. When text on a page is badly skewed, Pro OCR may

have trouble correctly locating paragraph boundaries. Recognition may also

be affected, resulting in many illegible characters.

NOTE: Processing with the Straighten Skewed Images option selected takes

longer than processing the same page with this option not selected. However,

recognition is usually much better on skewed type if the page image has been

straightened. You may want to experiment on skewed pages to see when to

use the Straighten Skewed Images option. Pro OCR is preset to not straighten

skewed images.

■ Splitting one A3 page. For scanners that scan two, 11 by 17 inch pages, you

can scan bound material and Pro OCR will automatically split the image into

two pages.

■ Auto Orientation. Automatically selects Portrait or Landscape orientation for

the page.

By default, Pro OCR does not select these settings for you.
