• OmniPage begins scanning if
Scan Image
or

is selected
under the Image button.
• OmniPage opens the Load Image dialog box if
Load Image
is
selected under the Image button.
• You cannot open Caere Documents (

Acquiring an Image When Another Image is Open
Unlike regular OmniPage mode, Direct Input only appends a newly
loaded or scanned document to the current open document if that
document has been recognized.
• If you scan or load an image but do not recognize it, and then click
the Image button, OmniPage warns that the image will be replaced.
The same is true for an image that has been zoned but not
recognized.
