You can print files from other applications onto the PaperPort Desktop.
This is how to get spreadsheets, pictures, database files, word-processing
files, and other files onto the PaperPort Desktop.

NOTE: Color images are converted to grayscale when printed to the
PaperPort Desktop. To retain the color, use the PaperPort Import
command to import the image file into PaperPort.
To print from other applications to the PaperPort Desktop:
1. Start the application from which you want to print, and open the file

dialog box. If you have questions, refer to the user manual.
You will see a dialog box similar to the following (this dialog box is
from Microsoft Excel).
3. In the printer list, select PaperPort on Desktop.
4. Click the appropriate button to set PaperPort as the current printer.

Desktop as the printer.
