Components of effective scanning

The scanner is only one part of the scanning system. In addition to
the scanner, you need these other components:
• A SCSI cable to connect your scanner and computer
• Scanning software that controls how the scanner works
• Image-editing software (such as Adobe Photoshop, Ulead
PhotoImpact SE, Image Pals GO! or Microtek ImageStar II) to
integrate scanned images into your work; or an OCR software
(such as Caere OmniPage Limited Edition) to integrate scanned
text into your work
• A suitable monitor to display color and grayscale images
• A device for outputting your work, such as a black and white or
color laser printer, dye sublimation printer, imagesetter or other
color proofing device.
In addition to the basic components, you can use these scanner
accessories to make your scanning even more effective:
• Transparent Media Adapter: For scanning slides, filmstrips,
and transparencies.
• Auto Document Feeder: Helps with text scanning by allowing
continuous scanning of up to 50 pages of text.
