66 DocuMate 272 Scanner User’s Guide

Scanning with Optical Character Recognition (OCR)

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is like a printer in reverse.

Instead of printing what’s on the screen onto paper, 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.

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 272

scanner. One Touch 4.0 and OmniPage Pro work together to

combine scanning with OCR processing into one integrated step.

The One Touch OmniPage Module was automatically installed

when you installed your driver, the OmniPage Pro software is on

the Disc 2 CD that you received with your scanner. The One Touch

OmniPage Module and the OmniPage Software can both be

installed on your computer at the same time, however, the features

in the One Touch OmniPage Module will take precedence over the

OmniPage software features when using One Touch 4.0. The “One

Touch OmniPage Mini-Guide” is available on the Disc 1 installation

CD.

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.

NOTE: For all OCR processing, use the original factory settings

for OCR scanning that came with your scanner. When scanning

with other settings, use at least 300 dpi for the resolution. If the

original documents are of poor quality and have small type, 400

dpi can be used as the maximum resolution.

NOTE: If you have uninstalled the One Touch OmniPage

Module or the OmniPage Pro software from your computer,

items scanned as a text format are still converted with the OCR

process, however, the options available with the process are

then limited.
