Defining the source of page images
There are two possible image sources: from image files and from a
scanner. There are two main types of scanners: flatbed or sheetfed. A
scanner may have a built-in or added Automatic Document Feeder
(ADF), which makes it easier to scan multi-page documents. The images
from scanned documents can be input directly into OmniPage Pro or
may be saved with the scanner’s own software to an image file, which
OmniPage Pro can later open.
Input from image files
You can create image files from your own scanner, or receive them by
e-mail or as fax files. OmniPage Pro can open a wide range of image file
types. See “File types for opening and saving images” on page 94. Select
Load Image File in the Get Pages drop-down list. Files are specified in the
Load Image File dialog box. This appears when you start automatic
processing. In manual processing, click the Get Page button or use the
Process menu. The lower part of the dialog box provides advanced
settings, and can be shown or hidden. Here, it is displayed.
