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
