Getting Started Guide
OCR (Optical Character Recognition)
The Compaq S200 scanner includes software to perform OCR (Optical Character
Recognition). The OCR software converts a scanned document into a file you can
edit with a word processor. You can use the OCR software directly, or you can
configure the image editor scanner button.
Using the Button Manager, reprogram the image editor button to a program like
WordPad. Now place your document on the scanner and press the button. Your
document will be scanned, converted to text using the OCR software, and loaded
into your selected word processing program.
Additional software
The Compaq S200 includes additional scanning and image editing software.
This software was selected to help you maximize the use of your scanner.
Use the software to explore the many capabilities of your new scanner.
Getting more from your scanner
Large scan areas and/or resolutions above 300 DPI require additional memory
and disk space, and will take longer to process. To minimize this, use the Preview
button first. Then select only the area you need to scan, and don't use a
resolution above 300 DPI unless you know you require it.
Your scanner is ideally suited for many types of projects. Scanning photos,
documents, and making copies are just some of the things you can do.
With scanning and printing software, you can create greeting cards, iron-on
transfers, and many other projects. Check the Compaq website periodically
for activities and ideas.
From the Start menu, simply click Programs Compaq S200 Compaq Online.
