PaperPort Getting Started Guide 58
Using ScanDirect
ScanDirect
TM
is a PaperPort program that enables you to scan items and
send them directly to PaperPort or other programs on your computer
without first running PaperPort.
ScanDirect runs as a separate program from the Windows
Start Menu and
displays the ScanDirect bar.

Using ScanDirect, you can scan an item and immediately send it to either:
• A program on the ScanDirect Send To bar – Icons on the
ScanDirect bar represent the programs that are linked to PaperPort
and to ScanDirect. To scan and then send an item to a certain
program, click the program icon, and then scan the item. ScanDirect
will automatically start that program when the scan is complete.
• The PaperPort desktop – To scan and then work with the item in
PaperPort, click the PaperPort icon, and then scan the item. When
the scan is complete, PaperPort starts and displays the item in
PaperPort. You can then use all of PaperPort's features on the item.
When ScanDirect is used to scan to other programs it always works
through the scanner’s own user interface; the scan profiles in PaperPort are
not used. When ScanDirect is used to scan items to the PaperPort desktop,
the output is determined by the output setting for the previous scan: if it
created an image item, the current scan will also do this, and if it created a
text-type document (such as DOC, XLS, WPD, TXT or CSV) the current
scan will create a PDF Image, which you can make searchable, as already
described. In PaperPort Professional, you can scan items directly to
Microsoft SharePoint.
