Back to TOC Scanning from HP Precisionscan Pro 73
Text tab options
The Text tab of the Preferences dialog box controls the following
preferences related to text output from the OCR program.
Text Output (format)
● Framed text places the text from the page into frames and
attempts to recreate the page formatting as closely as possible to
the original. The program into which the text is placed must support
this type of option.
● Flowed text eliminates columns and inserts any images in the text
as closely as possible to where they were in the original. Flowed
text is easier to edit.
Current OCR Language
Allows you to choose the language the OCR program uses to check
words it is processing in the item.
Image Output
Allows you to choose the output type the software uses for scanning
images that appear on pages that include both images and text. This
option is only available if you’ve selected Image and Text in the Edit
Text tab on the Buttons tab of the HP Scanjet Controls dialog box.
● True Color. Scans images that appear on the page using the True
Color output type. This option creates high-quality images.
However, this option can increase the scanning time and can
create final scans with large file sizes.
● Optimized Palette. Scans images that appear on the page using
the Optimized Palette output type. This option decreases the time it
takes the scanner to complete the scan and creates final scans
with smaller file sizes. However, the quality of scanned images is
lower.
See "Selecting output type" on page 43 for more information the output
types available in the scanning software.
Controls tab options
The Controls tab of the Preferences dialog box controls the control
range readout to use for scanning.
The control range sets the amount of tonal resolution per color
available for correction in the Adjust Exposure command and Adjust
Black & White command. Using a larger number of bits for the control
range results in greater control of compensation for exposure or
threshold correction.
Choose one of these options:
● 8-bit readout (0-255) — sets the controls to use 8 bits of tonal
resolution per color
● 10-bit readout (0-1023) — sets the controls to use 10 bits of tonal
resolution per color
● 12-bit readout (0-4095) — sets the controls to use 12 bits of tonal
resolution per color
● 16-bit readout (0-65535) — sets the controls to use 16 bits of tonal
resolution per color
