Setting Up Your Scanner With Omnipage Pro - ScanSoft OMNIPAGE PRO 14 Manual

14 Installation and setup

Setting up your scanner with OmniPage Pro

All files needed for scanner setup and support are copied automatically
during the program's installation, but no scanner setup occurs at
installation time. Before using OmniPage Pro 14 for scanning, your
scanner should be installed with its own scanner driver software and
tested for correct functionality. Scanner driver software is not included
with OmniPage Pro.
Scanner setup is done through the Scanner Setup Wizard. You can start
this yourself, as described below. Otherwise, it appears when you first
attempt to perform scanning. Proceed as follows:
Choose Start!All Programs!ScanSoft OmniPage Pro 14.0!
Scanner Wizard
or click the Setup button in the Scanner panel of the Options
dialog box.
or choose Scan in the Get Page drop-down list in the OmniPage
Toolbox and click the Get Page button.
The Scanner Setup Wizard starts. If you have a web connection,
the first panel invites you to update the scanner database supplied
with the wizard. Choose Yes or No and click on Next.
Choose 'Select and test scanner or digital camera', then click
Next. If you have a single installed scanner, it appears, along with
any scanners previously set up with OmniPage Pro. If the
required scanner is not listed, click Add Scanner... .
You see a list of all detected scanner drivers in the checkmarked
categories. This can include network devices. Select one and click
OK. To install a second device, you must run the Scanner Wizard
again.
The wizard reports whether the chosen scanner model already
has settings in the scanner database. If it does, you do not need to
test it. If it does not, you should test it. Click on Next.
If you chose not to test, click Finish. If you chose testing, click
Next to have the scanner connection tested. If the connection is
in order, you see a menu of further tests. Choose which testing
steps you want to run. The Basic test scan is recommended.
