Scanning with Optical Character Recognition (OCR)

DocuMate 515 Scanner User's Guide
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) converts text and numbers on a
scanned page into editable text and numbers. You can then work with the
text and numbers to edit, spellcheck, change font or type size, sort,
calculate, and so forth.
NOTE: Xerox recommends that all OCR processing use the original
factory settings for OCR scanning that came with your scanner. When
scanning with other settings, use at least 200 dpi for the resolution. If
the original documents are of poor quality or have a small type font,
300 dpi can be used as the maximum resolution.
The One Touch OmniPage Module or the OmniPage Pro software must
be installed on your computer in order to use the OCR options with the
One Touch 4.0 software and your DocuMate 515 scanner. The
One Touch OmniPage Module was automatically installed when you
installed the scanner's driver. The One Touch OmniPage Mini-Guide is
available on the installation disc.
With the One Touch OmniPage Module or OmniPage Pro software
installed, the OCR process is automatic when the page format on the
One Touch Properties window is a text format, such as DOC, TEXT, XLS,
RTF and so forth.
To scan with OCR:
1. Open the One Touch Properties window.
2. Select a One Touch button to scan to a text editing application such
as Microsoft Word.
3. Click OK to save the changes and close the One Touch Properties
window.
4. Press or click the One Touch button your set to scan with OCR.
Your scanned pages appear in the Destination Application with their
text ready for editing and other text processing.
