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 document to be scanned on the scanner glass surface.
2. Launch ScanWizard DI in stand-alone mode by clicking the program icon on
the desktop.
3. Follow the procedures (steps 3 through 7) for “Scanning a Single-sheet
Document” to specify your scanning requirements.
a) In step 3d, the recommended resolution is 300 dpi or above for OCR.
b) In step 6, 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. Save the files as
RTF and TXT, which
enables the “Save multiple
pages as a single file”
option in the next step.
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.
