Recognition is faster with this option turned off. If you scan high-quality
documents with crisp, black letters printed on white paper, deselect
Auto
Intensity
and use the manual Brightness control.
Upgrading to OmniPage Professional
Chooser extensions for a few scanners supported by this version of Direct
are not yet included with OmniPage Professional. Your Chooser Extension
is already installed on your system. When you subsequently install
OmniPage Professional, a scanner installation dialog will appear: if your
scanner is not listed, select
None
and then click
Install
.
If No Text Appears...
If text does not appear in your document after recognition, choose
Paste
in
your application's Edit menu. You may have accidentally clicked on the
desktop before you scanned; Direct places text in the Clipboard if your
application was not active immediately before you scanned.
Scanning Long Documents
If you scan more than 15-20 pages at a time, you may need to allocate more
memory to your word-processing application. You'll know that memory is a
problem if, after scanning many pages, no text transfers to your application.
To solve this problem, increase your application's memory size. Highlight
your application's icon and choose
Get info...
in the Macintosh File menu.
In the
Memory
box at the bottom, increase the number to 4000 (4000K). If
you don't have enough RAM to increase the memory allocation, you may
be unable to scan long documents all at once; try scanning five or six pages
at a time into your application. Or, use the
Save Text to File
feature.
Scanning Text into Graphics Applications
You can scan one page at a time into a graphics application such as Adobe
Illustrator, MacDraw, SuperPaint, etc.
MacPaint 2.0
Direct will not automatically paste text into this application. After you
scan and recognition is complete, select the MacPaint text tool, place the
cursor, and choose
Paste
in the MacPaint Edit menu.
Excel 3.0
Direct will replace any highlighted data in your spreadsheet. To prevent
this, click outside a highlighted area, deselecting the data, before you scan
text in with Direct.
