How do I use the scanner in R806?
The scanner is accessed in W2K (e.g. standalone mode). The basic
scanner driver is called Mirascan. Typically you want to:
- Scan an image and edit/save it. Inthis case use 'Ulead Photo Express'
- Put original face down on scanner with top towards you.
- Start/Programmes/ULead Photo Express
- In Photo Express, select scanner and specify Mirascan (if required on first use).
- Select 'acquire'
- When Mirascan starts, select preview.
- Adjust scanned region if required.
- Select scan.
- In Photo Express, edit or Save etc as required.
- Scan a text document and use OCR to convert to Word or ordinary text.
In this case, you use TextBridge:
- Put first page face down on scanner with top towards you.
- Start/Programmes/TextBridge Classic
- Select scanner and specify Mirascan (if required on first use).
- In TextBridge hit the left button (auto processing) then
select 'scanner' as page source.
- When Mirascan starts, select preview.
- Adjust scanned region if required.
- Select scan.
- When finished 'recognising text', select More or No More pages.
- Save as Word Rich Text File (*.rtf) if planning to use Word or ASCI
text if planning to use for TeX etc, or Excel or ...
