Organizing Your Items In Folders - Brother MFC-590 Owner's Manual

Viewing Items in ScanSoft
®
PaperPort provides several ways to view items:
Desktop View displays a thumbnail, a small
graphic that represents each item in a Desktop or
folder. Items in the selected folder appear on the
®
PaperPort Desktop. You can see PaperPort
items (MAX files) and non-PaperPort
(files created using other applications). Non-
®
PaperPort items include an icon that indicates
the application that was used to create the item; a
®
non-PaperPort item is represented by a small
rectangular thumbnail and not an actual image.
Page View displays a close-up of a single page
and you can open a PaperPort
clicking on it. As long as you have the appropriate
application on your computer to display it, you
can also double-click a non-PaperPort
open it.
