7.1. Usage Example

Here, we illustrate a common way to use ScanSharp® Scanning Mode. In this example, we scan the front

and back side of an insurance card and save the image in a location for image retrieval.

1. Attach a scanner to your computer, make sure that scanner’s driver has been installed, and Launch

ScanSharp®.

Tip: Make sure that the scanner is connected by checking the scanners listed in the dropdown menu

under File and Select Scanner. If your scanner is installed and connected you will see if listed in this drop

down menu. If not, you need to install and/or connect your desired scanner. Your scanner may also have

a little green LED light on top of it which will light up when the drivers are installed and the scanner is

connected properly.

2. Go to the configuration screen found under Options and Configurations and make sure that your

desired settings are selected.

3. Scan a card with your scanner. If auto scan is on (the scanner icon in the top left will be grayed out), the

scanner will start scanning automatically. Otherwise, click the scanner icon to start the scanning process.

If you have a simplex scanner, a second scan will be necessary to capture the back side of the card. After

scanning, you should see a list of new images in ScanSharp® as pictured below.

4. Ideally you are using all the automated features of ScanSharp® and the image is scanned, cropped,

merged, saved and named automatically for you. Your image is now created and is ready to be saved to

your selected target destination drive on your computer or server for your use such as importation into

your database software. ScanSharp® makes it fast and easy to scan images and documents.
