Installation and Setup Setting up Your Scanner with OmniPage
9
•
The wizard reports whether the chosen scanner model already has settings in the scanner
database. If it does, you do not need to test it. If it does not, you should test it. Click on
Next.
•
If you chose not to test, click Finish. If you chose testing, click Next to have the scanner
connection tested. If the connection is in order, you see a menu of further tests. Choose
which testing steps you want to run. The Basic test scan is recommended.
•
By default OmniPage uses its own scanning interface, located in the Scanner panel of
the Options dialog box. If you want to use your scanner’s own interface instead, choose
Advanced settings... and select this. Click Hint editor... and choose Edit hints... only if
you are experienced in configuring scanners or have been advised by Technical Support
to do so.
•
Click Next to start the tests. For the Basic scan test, insert a test page into your scanner.
The wizard will scan using your scanner manufacturer’s software. Click on Next. Your
scanner’s native user-interface will appear.
•
Click on Scan to begin the sample scan.
•
If necessary, click on Missing Image… or Improper Orientation... and make the
appropriate selections.
•
Once the image appears correctly in the window, click on Next.
•
Move through the remaining requested tests, following the instructions on the screen.
•
When all the requested tests have been completed successfully, the Scanner Wizard
reports and invites you to click on Finish.
•
You have successfully configured your scanner to work with OmniPage Ultimate!
To change the scanner settings at a later time, or to setup or remove a scanner, reopen the
Scanner Setup Wizard from the Windows Start menu or from the Scanner panel of the Options
dialog box.
To test and repair an improperly functioning scanner, open the wizard and select ‘Test the
current scanner or digital camera’ in the second panel, then work through the procedure
described above, maybe using advice received from Technical Support.
To specify a different default scanner, open the wizard to reach the list of setup scanners. Move
the highlight to the desired scanner and be sure to close the wizard with Finish.
To get updated settings for your current scanner, open the wizard, request a fresh database
download in the first screen, then choose ‘Use current settings with current device’, click Next
and then Finish.
