CardScan User’s Guide

 Chapter 3 Creating Your Address Book

CardScan’s features (see 

“CardScan Features” on page 1-1)

 represent all 

essential attributes of an electronic address book, where information is 
accurate, manageable, safe, and can be utilized with a few clicks of the mouse 
(for example, the ability to email your contacts or display the 
MapQuest-generated map of an address, or dial phone and FAX numbers). If 
you keep your contacts in several files, CardScan’s ability consistently to 
organize files allows you to use any number of files simply as specific sections 
of the same address book. 

Use informative names for your CardScan files, to simplify the use of 

your CardScan address book and make it more efficient. 

There are several ways to create and expand your address book. These 
include:

• Scanning business cards (in this chapter)
• Importing files from other applications (in this chapter)
• Creating new files and contacts manually (in this chapter)
• Dragging and dropping text from emails and electronic documents (in this 

chapter)

• Dragging and dropping vCards into CardScan (

 Keywords: 

“drag”

)

• Saving a file

 Scanning Business Cards

Scanning is the quickest way to create a file in your address book.

The following describes how to scan business cards with a CardScan 

600c scanner, using the default settings (color scanning and automatic 
detection of cards). If you are using a different scanner, see your scanner 
documentation. Also, you can change the scan preferences.
