Defining the source of page images

There are two possible image sources: from image files and from a
scanner. There are two main types of scanners: flatbed or sheetfed. A
scanner may have a built-in or added Automatic Document Feeder
(ADF), which makes it easier to scan multi-page documents. The images
from scanned documents can be input directly into OmniPage or may be
saved with the scanner's own software to an image file, which OmniPage
can later open.
Input from image files
You can create image files from your own scanner, or receive them by
e-mail or as fax files. OmniPage 15 can open a wide range of image file
types. Select Load Files in the Get Pages drop-down list. Files are specified
in the Load Files dialog box. This appears when you start automatic
processing. In manual processing, click the Get Page button or use the
Process menu. The lower part of the dialog box provides advanced
settings, and can be shown or hidden.
The minimum width or height for an image file is 16 by 16 pixels; the
maximum is 8400 pixels (71cm; 28 inches at the resolution 201 to 600
dpi). See online Help for pixel limits.
