Bringing Document Images into OmniPage Pro
You can bring document images into OmniPage Pro by scanning pages
or loading image files.
Scanning Pages
You can scan paper documents to convert them to electronic images in
OmniPage Pro. If a document is already open, scanned pages are
inserted as new pages.
To scan in OmniPage Pro, you must install the Scan Manager and select
your default scanner. See “Scan Manager is Needed with OmniPage
Pro” on page 92 for more information.
To scan pages into OmniPage Pro:
1 Place your page in your scanner.
You can scan a stack of pages if you have an automatic
document feeder (ADF).
2Set
Scan Image
as the command in the Image button’s drop-
down list.
3 Choose
Options...
in the Tools menu and click the
Scanner
tab to
make sure the appropriate settings are selected.
Select
Scan until empty
in the
Scanner
tab if you want to scan all
pages in an ADF at once. Otherwise, you must click the Image
button to scan each subsequent page.
4 Click the Image button or choose
Scan Image
in the Process
menu.
Pages are scanned in order and combined into one working
document.
Loading Image Files
You can load image files into OmniPage Pro. An image file is an
electronic picture of text, such as a scanned paper document or an
electronic fax, that is saved in an image file format such as PCX or TIFF.
If a document is already open, loaded image files are inserted as new
pages.
The following procedure is for loading image files only. To open an
OmniPage Document (*.met), use the
Open...
command in the File
menu.
