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.
NOTE: To scan in OmniPage Pro, you must set up your scanner to work with OmniPage Pro. You can do this either during OmniPage Pro installation, or at a later time using Caere Scan Manager, located in the Windows Control Panel. See Setting Up Your Scanner for more information.
Place your page in your scanner.
You can scan a stack of pages if you have an ADF.
Set Scan B&W, Scan Grayscale, or Scan Color as the command in the Document Source drop-down list.
Choose Options Scanner...
in the Tools menu to make sure the appropriate settings are selected.
See Settings Guidelines for
more information.
Select Automatically scan pages and enter the amount of time you want OmniPage Pro to wait between scanning each page if you want to scan a multiple page document without an ADF.
OmniPage Pro will scan one page and then pause for the specified amount of time before scanning the next page. During this pause, place the next page you want to scan in your scanner.
NOTE: If you do not select Automatically scan pages, you will need to click the Additional button on the AutoOCR toolbar, or the Document Source button on the Manual toolbar to scan each page of your multiple page document.
For automatic processing, click the Start button on the AutoOCR toolbar or choose Start in the Process menu.
For step-by-step processing, click the Document Source button on the Manual toolbar or choose Scan B&W, Scan Grayscale, or Scan Color in the Process menu.
Pages are scanned in order and combined into one working document.
