Before you scan an item with Pro OCR, make sure the scanner software is installed,
and the scanner can scan images into your computer. Pro OCR works with many
TWAIN-compliant devices. You can select the TWAIN device in the Pro OCR
software.
NOTE: If you are using Pro OCR with Visioneer's PaperPort software or scanners,
see the Working with PaperPort document that came with Pro OCR, instead of the
following procedure. If you are using a scanner that is not TWAIN-compliant, you
cannot scan directly to Pro OCR. Instead, use your scanner's software to save the
scanned file in a TIF format, and then use the Pro OCR Get File command. For more
information, see "Getting Pages from an Image File"
