Scanning Tips
OCR results will be poor if an image is not scanned properly. Remember
the following tips when you scan:
• Take the color and quality of your document into account when
scanning.
High-quality documents return better recognition results than
low-quality documents. Shaded, colored, or low-quality
documents may result in poor recognition accuracy unless
adjustments are made before scanning.
• Always try to scan an original document instead of a photocopy.
• If you are going to use FAX copies to OCR, ask your FAX sender
to send them to you using their machine’s Best or Fine mode.
• Make sure the page is properly aligned in the scanner.
Select
Automatically straighten page image
in the
Accuracy
tab of the
Options dialog box to automatically straighten a page image by
up to 10 degrees if necessary.
• Check the glass, mirrors, and lenses on your scanner for dust,
smudges, or scratches. Clean if necessary.
• Make sure the proper settings are selected in the
Scanner
tab of
the Options dialog box before scanning.
See “Scanner Settings” on page 53 for more information.
