Page 9: Chapter 1: Quick Guide
C H A P T E R 1 Quick Guide “Learn by doing.” Welcome to the PaperPort 3.6 Software User’s Guide. This ﬁrst chapter —Anonymous (Proverb) is a quick guide that explains how to use the PaperPort software. The quick guide has two major sections: •...
Page 10: Starting The Paperport Software
TARTING THE APER OFTWARE The easiest way to start the PaperPort software is to simply scan an item. When scanning is complete, the PaperPort software starts automatically and the PaperPort Desktop, or Desktop View, appears. A thumbnail—a small image representing the item you scanned— appears on the PaperPort Desktop.
Page 11: The Practice Example
RACTICE XAMPLE The practice exercises in “Learning the Basics” use two scanned pages consisting of a cover letter and resumé as shown in the following ﬁgure. Thumbnails—images of scanned items. The Link Bar contains icons for printing, sending a fax or an e-mail message, reading text into your word-processing application, sending...
Page 12: Selecting And Deselecting Items
ELECTING AND ESELECTING TEMS After you scan an item, it is automatically highlighted, or selected, on the PaperPort Desktop. A selected item has a red (or dark) line around it. To work with a scanned item—for example, to move an item, to drag an item to a link, or to display an item in Page View—you must select it.
Page 13 TACKING AGES When you scan individual pages, you can combine the thumbnails for those pages into a stack. For example, if you have scanned a 10-page report, 10 individual thumbnails appear on the PaperPort Desktop. By stacking the thumbnails, you can work with the report as a single item. In this section, you will practice using the drag-and-drop method to create a stack.
Page 14 For this exercise, drag and drop the cover letter on top of the resumé. You now have the stack Untitled-3 on the PaperPort Desktop. PaperPort creates a new, untitled item. 3. Assign a title to the stack with the cover letter and resumé. Select the item and Type a new title and The item now has...
Page 15: Displaying An Item In
ISPLAYING AN TEM IN Page View displays the details of the current page so that you can get a close-up of a page’s information or add comments to a page. To view a stack in Page View: 1. On the PaperPort Desktop, double-click the stack, or select the stack and click the Page icon on the Command Bar.
Page 16: Organizing And Finding Scanned Items

ETTING THE OST FROM APER Now that you know the basics of using the PaperPort software, you are...
Page 21: Sending A Fax With Paperport
ENDING A AX WITH APER To send a fax with PaperPort, your computer must have: • A fax modem. • Fax software for your fax modem. If you have fax software that PaperPort recognizes, it automatically displays a Fax link icon on the Link Bar, and no special setup is needed.
Page 22: Printing A Spreadsheet To The Paperport Desktop
3. Release the mouse button when the Fax icon is highlighted. The fax application starts. 4. Send the fax as you normally would. NOTE: You can also send a fax from Page View. Choose Links from the File menu, and then choose the name of your fax application from the submenu.
Page 23 3. From Excel’s File menu, choose Page Setup. In the Page Setup dialog box, click Print, and then click the Printer Setup button. Other applications have different steps for selecting a printer; for example, in Microsoft Word, choose Print from the File menu, and then click Printer to select PaperPort on Desktop as the current printer.
Page 24: Letting Paperport Do Your Typing (With Ocr)
The PaperPort Desktop appears and displays the spreadsheet as a PaperPort image. The PaperPort Desktop displays the form that you scanned and the spreadsheet that was printed to the PaperPort Desktop from Excel. If you want to fax the form and the spreadsheet, ﬁrst stack the items and then drag and drop the stack onto the Fax icon on the Link Bar.
Page 25 NOTE: The OCR software may not always convert all text with 100 percent accuracy; therefore, check the document for spelling errors while editing it. To convert a PaperPort item to text: 1. Scan the item if you have not already done so. 2.
Page 26: Scanning Photos
You can also drag and drop a spreadsheet onto a Spreadsheet icon. In that case, the OCR software converts the numbers and text, then opens the spreadsheet application. In most cases, the column-by-column structure of the original spreadsheet is maintained with the converted numbers and text.

Page 32 Use the Scan Settings and PaperPort commands for improving the images if the items that you want to scan are dirty or are too light or too dark. The following are some samples along with suggestions for getting a better image. This letter was scanned too dark.
Page 33: Changing Brightness
HANGING RIGHTNESS Sometimes an image is scanned with the brightness too light or too dark. For example, a note written with a light pencil may need to be scanned darker to improve legibility. Lightening or darkening the scan brightness can improve the quality of an image and make it easier to read. Changing the brightness is similar to changing the setting on a photocopy machine to make the image lighter or darker.
Page 34: Improving The Image Quality
MPROVING THE MAGE UALITY If you inadvertently insert an item at an angle into the scanner, the PaperPort software can automatically straighten the image as it is scanned. When you scan an item that is narrower than 8 wide 1/2 inches (21.6 cm) or that has torn edges, PaperPort can trim the ragged black edges.
Page 35 Option Description Straighten Straightens a page that has been inserted at an Automatically angle. Works with items that have crisp, square corners, which includes most business documents. If you insert the page at a very sharp angle, or if the corners are dog-eared or bent, this option may not be able to straighten the image.
Page 36 To manually straighten a skewed page after it has been scanned: 1. Display the page in Page View. 2. Click the Straighten button on the Annotation Tool Bar. A message box explains how to draw a reference line for straightening the page.
Page 37: Cleaning
The following ﬁgure shows a sample of a page with a reference line drawn on it prior to being straightened. The black edges on a page indicate that the item was scanned at an angle. Draw a line along the edge of a paragraph or other feature on the page.
Page 38 To clean a scanned page: 1. Display the page in Page View. 2. From the Page menu, choose Clean Page. If the cleaning removes portions of the image that you want to keep, choose Undo right away from the Edit menu. The original image will reappear.

Page 91: Exporting Files With Compression
XPORTING ILES WITH OMPRESSION Color images and grayscale images, when exported as ﬁles, can become large ﬁles requiring large portions of hard disk space. To overcome this problem, PaperPort has a built-in compression feature that uses the JPEG ﬁle format to compress ﬁles. The more that a ﬁle is compressed, the less disk space it requires.
Page 92: Printing From Other Applications
NOTE: Use compression only for color or grayscale images. Text items and black-and-white items should not be compressed. RINTING FROM THER PPLICATIONS You can print ﬁles from other applications onto the PaperPort Desktop. This is how to get spreadsheets, pictures, database ﬁles, word-processing ﬁles, and other ﬁles onto the PaperPort Desktop.
