By default when you scan an item, the PaperPort software places an image
of the item on the PaperPort Desktop and automatically saves a copy of
the item to your hard disk. By using ScanDirect, you can send scanned
items directly to a different target application, such as:
• The Page Viewer. Immediately see a close-up view of the scanned item.
You can modify the image in the Page Viewer, and then save the
changes.
• Photocopy. Make a copy of the scanned image on your printer.
• Electronic fax or e-mail software. Send a fax or attach an item to an
e-mail message.
• Word processor. Display editable text automatically converted by the
PaperPort OCR software.
• Image editor. Fine-tune and enhance a photograph or other art work.
• Other third-party applications that display the “PaperPort Ready”
logo.
• Any supported application installed on your computer.
There are several ways to select a ScanDirect target application:
• Don’t do anything. If you don’t select a different target application, the
PaperPort Desktop is the default target application.
• Choose an application from the ScanDirect To menu located under the
Visioneer menu.
• Choose an application from the Scan Settings dialog box.
• Press a ScanDirect function key. The function key you press selects the
target application.
• On the Link Bar, drag the link icon representing the target application
into the area that says “ScanDirect To.”
