Setting up your scanner with OmniPage Pro

All files needed for scanner setup and support are copied automatically during the program’s installation. Before using OmniPage Pro 12 for scanning, your scanner should be installed with its own scanner driver software and tested for correct functionality. Scanner driver software is not included with OmniPage Pro.

Scanner installation and setup are done through the Scanner Wizard. You can start this yourself, as described below. Otherwise, the Scanner Wizard appears when you first attempt to perform scanning.

Please follow these steps to use the Scanner Wizard to setup your scanner with OmniPage Pro 12:

XChoose Start￿Programs￿ScanSoft OmniPage Pro 12.0￿ Scanner Wizard

or click the Setup button in the Scanner panel of the Options dialog box.

or choose a scan setting in the Get Page drop-down list in the OmniPage Toolbox and click the Get Page button.

The Scanner Setup Wizard starts. The first panel appears only on first setup when called from inside OmniPage Pro.

XChoose ‘Select scanner or digital camera’, then click Next. You see a list of all detected TWAIN scanner drivers, with the system default scanner selected.

XClick once to select the driver of the scanner you want to use. Click ‘Other drivers...’ if you need to browse for a driver. Select ‘Configure Advanced Settings’ for an extra panel if you want your scanner’s own interface to be hidden during scanning or to modify the image transfer method. Click on Next.

XChoose Yes to test your scanner configuration, then click Next. The wizard will now test the connection from the computer to your scanner. When completed, click on Next.

XInsert a test page into your scanner. The wizard is now prepared to do a basic scan using your scanner manufacturer’s software. Click on Next. Your scanner’s native user-interface will appear.
