Microtek ADF-700 Installing and Getting Started
Scanning with the ADF-700
Scanning for Archiving / Scanning to File
The ADF-700 can be used to scan material for archiving. For instance, an image
“record” can be kept of a multiple-page legal document, or image files can be kept of
important documents such as birth certificates and tax records. Scanning for
archiving (also known as scanning to file) is different from scanning for OCR, which
is explained in the next section
1. Place the material to be scanned on the Document Feed Tray. The material could
consist of either a single sheet of paper or a stack of paper.
2. Launch ScanWizard 5 in stand-alone mode or from your image-editing software. If
you are not sure how to do this, refer to your ScanWizard documentation.
3. Specify your own scan settings by
clicking on the Tool buttons in the
Standard Control Panel; or by selecting
the appropriate setup items from the
Settings window in the Advanced
Control Panel.
4. Click and hold the Scan to button to start
multiple, automatic scanning.
After the scan, the scanned and
processed image can be saved as a file,
opened in an image-editing program, sent
to print, attached to an e-mail, or
uploaded to a website.
Before you use the ADF-700 extensively, you may wish to use the “preview” feature
Previewing can be useful to see if the physical mechanism in your ADF-700 is working
properly in conjunction with the ScanWizard 5 scanning software. Previewing requires only
the use of a single sheet of paper (with some text or material on it). Once the paper-scanning
mechanism is established and verified, you can then proceed to use the ADF-700
extensively and with assurance.
To do the preview, follow the steps below:
1. Load a piece of paper from the paper stack into the ADF’s Document Feed Tray.
2. Click the Preview button to perform a preliminary view of the entire image. When done,
a preview image appears in the preview window.
At this moment, the previewed page is delivered to the document tray from the ADF's
Document Feed Tray. Load the previewed page, along with the paper stack, on the
ADF's Document Feed Tray. You are now ready to scan.
