Chapter II. Usage and
Maintenance
Operating the Scanner
Your scanner accepts documents as small as business cards and as large as
letter-sized documents. However, some software programs have limitations as to the
information they can handle. The capacity of the computer’s memory and free space
on your hard drive can also limit the physical size of the document that you scan.
There are two different ways to operate the scanner:
1. From within an image-editing program that can acquire images from the
scanner.
2. By using the Action Manager 32 program that is automatically installed as
your scanner software.
Your scanner needs to be driven by some type of software program. Since all
documents or images (whether text or pictures) that are acquired from the scanner are
treated by your computer as images, most scanning will probably be done from an
image-editing program where you can view, edit, save and output the scanned images.
What about scanning text documents and editing them in a word processor? This
is the role of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software. OCR software converts
the image files that are created from scanning text documents into text files that can
be viewed, edited and saved by word processors. An OCR program has also been
bundled on the included Setup/Application CD-ROM, and if you wish to use the
scanner in this way you should install the OCR software that is included.
Action Manager 32 is a program that allows you to conveniently scan images
and text without the need to work directly within any image-editing application.
Action Manager 32 also includes features to allow you to use your scanner as fax4
and copy machines5.
Please refer to the Action Manager 32 section of the Software User’s Guide or
the Action Manager 32 on-line Help (accessible by right-clicking on the Action
Manager 32 window and choosing Help) for more information about these functions.
4 A fax/modem and fax software is required to send faxes.
5 A printer is required for the copy utility.
