Automatic Processing
You can use the AUTO button to process a new document from start to
finish or finish processing an open document. The operations that occur
when you click AUTO depend on the currently set Image, Zone, OCR,
and Export commands.
For example, OmniPage Pro can scan a stack of pages in a scanner’s
automatic document feeder (ADF), create zones on all pages, recognize
the pages, and then save them as a file.
To do so (assuming that you have checked Scan until empty in the
Settings Panel and have a scanner with an ADF), you would set Scan
Image
, Multi-column, OCR & Proof, and Save As... as the commands. After
clicking AUTO, you would first be prompted to select save options for
the document. Then, each page would be automatically scanned, zoned,
recognized, and saved.
Large documents take longer to save, especially if they contain color.
You can also click AUTO (again, assuming that you have checked Scan
until empty
in the Settings Panel) to finish processing pages in an open
document. OmniPage Pro processes each unfinished page in the
document according to the current commands. For example, if all pages
already have zones but have not been recognized, OmniPage Pro will
immediately begin processing according to the selected OCR command.
To process a document automatically:
1
Set the desired Image, Zone, OCR, and Export commands in
the AutoOCR Toolbar.
See “Selecting Process Commands” on page 25.
2
Choose Settings Panel... in the Settings menu and make sure
that the settings are appropriate for your document.
See Chapter 4, OmniPage Pro Settings, for more information.
3
Click AUTO or choose Auto in the Process menu.
• If no document is open, each page of a new document is
processed in order.
