SELECTING A TARGET APPLICATION AND SCAN SETTINGS

By default, when you scan an item, the PaperPort software places an

image of the item on the PaperPort Desktop. However, by using

PaperPort scan settings before you scan an item, you can scan an item to a

different target application, such as your word processing, image editing,

or electronic fax software, or any other PaperPort-supported application

installed on your computer. Each target application has different scan

settings. For example, the E-Mail settings let you select the format for the

scanned item that is attached to your e-mail message.

Each target application also has a scan mode. The PaperPort software

provides several scan modes for different types of scanning. For example,

if you want to scan an item to your fax software, you usually use the

Faxing Documents mode. If you want to scan a color item, use the

Storing Photos mode. The scan mode determines the quality of the

image, the size of the ﬁle, and the speed of the scan. For some scanned

items, you may want to choose a different scan setting or change a scan

mode.

To select a target application and scan settings:

1. From the Visioneer menu (located below the Visioneer icon on the

Macintosh desktop menu bar), choose Scan Settings. The Scan

Settings dialog box appears.

▼ TIP: You can also use the ScanDirect function keys (F5–F10) to send

a scanned item directly to a target application. The PaperPort software

automatically selects appropriate scan settings for the application. For

more information, see the PaperPort User’s Guide and PaperPort Help.
