Scanning for OCR
The OCR (Optical Character Recognition) function allows the scanner to convert a
scanned document into text that can be edited from any word processing
application.
1. Place the documents with text to be scanned on the ADF's Document Feed
Tray.
2. Launch ScanWizard DI in stand-alone mode by clicking the program icon on
the desktop.
3. Follow the procedures (steps 3 through 6) for “Scanning a Stack of
Documents” to specify your scanning requirements
a) In step 4d, the recommended resolution is 300 dpi or above for OCR.
b) In step 5, from the Attribute options menu, choose Line Art as your
image type to obtain best OCR results. When Black & White is your
chosen mode in the Scan Type options, Line Art should be the selected
image type.
4. Click the Scan To button and hold down the mouse until the options menu
appears, then select OCR to open the “OCR” dialog box.
In the “OCR: Save As” dialog box, specify the following settings:
a) Key in your preferred file name in the
“File prefix” edit box, or use the
default “Document” as a root file
name.
b) Select your required export file
format.
c) Check the “Save multiple pages as a
single file” option to store all the
scanned images as a single file if
desired.
d) Select your preferred language from
the “OCR Language” options. The
available options are English,
German, French, Italian, Spanish,
and Chinese.
e) Check the “Send document to
application after saving” option, then choose your word processing
application from the options.
5. Click the Save button.
The originals are sequentially scanned until the stack of documents is
depleted; when finished, all the scanned images are saved as a single file.
The saved file can now be opened from your chosen application and is ready
to be edited.
