Chapter 1 Setting up your scanner with OmniPage 13
OmniPage Professional is supplied with a complimentary copy of the Nuance PaperPort
®
document management product. This must be installed separately and has its own system
requirements.
Setting up your scanner with OmniPage
All files needed for scanner setup and support are copied automatically during the program’s
installation, but no scanner setup occurs at installation time. Before using OmniPage for
scanning, your scanner should be installed with its own scanner driver software and tested for
correct functionality. Scanner driver software is not included with OmniPage.
Scanner setup is done through the Scanner Setup Wizard. You can start this yourself, as
described below. Otherwise, it appears when you first attempt to perform scanning.
Proceed as follows:
• Choose Start > All Programs > Nuance > OmniPage 18 > Scanner Setup Wizard
or click the Setup button in the Scanner panel of the Options dialog box.
or choose Scan in the Get Page drop-down list in the OmniPage Toolbox and click the
Get Page button.
• The Scanner Setup Wizard starts. If you have a web connection, the first panel invites
you to update the scanner database supplied with the wizard. Choose Yes or No and
click on Next.
• Choose ‘Select and test scanner or digital camera’, then click Next. If you have a single
installed scanner, it appears, along with any scanners previously set up with OmniPage.
If the required scanner is not listed, click Add Scanner... .
• You see a list of all detected scanner drivers in the checkmarked categories. This can
include network devices. Select one and click OK. To install a second device, you must
run the Scanner Wizard again.
• The wizard reports whether the chosen scanner model already has settings in the scanner
database. If it does, you do not need to test it. If it does not, you should test it. Click on
Next.
• If you chose not to test, click Finish. If you chose testing, click Next to have the scanner
connection tested. If the connection is in order, you see a menu of further tests. Choose
which testing steps you want to run. The Basic test scan is recommended.
