In addition to the previously mentioned applications, you can scan items
directly to other supported applications on your Macintosh computer.
Many of your applications automatically appear in the ScanDirect To
menu and the Scan Settings dialog box. The PaperPort software selects
logical default scan settings for each application, such as selecting a word
processor file format for a target word processing application. You can
change the settings for a target application in the Scan Settings dialog
box, if you want.
NOTE: If an application name does not appear in the ScanDirect To
menu and Scan Settings dialog box, and it is supported by the
PaperPort software, you can add it as an application link. After adding
it as a link, its name appears in the ScanDirect To menu and Scan
Settings dialog box. For more information, see Chapter 9, "Using the
Link Bar."

ORKING WITH
The scan mode helps to define each target application's scan settings.
Usually, you do not need to change the scan mode associated with a target
application. But at times, you may want to select a different mode or
create a new mode. For example, assume you want to make a photocopy
of a color document. The mode associated with Photocopy scans in black
and white. To scan a color page and then print it on a color printer, you
should select Storing Photos for the Photocopy target application.
From the Scan Settings dialog box, you can select predefined scan modes,
customize predefined scan modes, and create new scan modes. The scan
mode determines the sharpness of the image and the number of possible
shades of gray or color. These selections affect the speed of the scan and
the file size. The following table describes the different predefined scan
modes.
