Apple 627, 1230 user manual What you can scan, Preparing originals

What you can scan

You can scan almost anything you can put on the scanner glass:

mphotographs and flat art

mdrawings and calligraphy

mline art

mbound documents such as magazines and books

You should be aware of a few limitations:

mYou cannot completely scan an item that is larger than 8.5 by 11.7 inches. The optional Automatic Document Feeder extends the scanning area to 8.5 by 14 inches.

mYou cannot scan items that weigh more than 4.4 lb. (2 kg). Heavier items may damage the scanner glass.

mIt is illegal to scan certain official and copyrighted documents. Please see “Copyright Regulations (USA)” at the end of this chapter for a summary of restrictions in the United States.

Text and optical character recognition: You can scan printed text and convert the image to text that can be read by a computer. To do this, you need special optical character recognition (OCR) software. Xerox TextBridge 3.0H OCR software comes with the Apple Color OneScanner. For an introduction to TextBridge, see Chapter 6, “Scanning Text,” in this manual. For information about using TextBridge, see the TextBridge user’s manual.

Preparing originals

Follow these guidelines to prepare originals for scanning.

mFlatten out curled or wrinkled originals before you place them on the scanner glass.

mWhen you scan large, bound documents, you may find it helpful to remove the scanner top cover. For information, see “Removing and Replacing the Scanner Cover,” later in this chapter.
