Increasing memory resources
OmniPage Pro may run poorly under
◆Restart your computer.
◆Close other open applications to release memory.
◆Close unnecessary OmniPage Pro applications.
◆Defragment your hard disk to free up contiguous blocks of disk space. See Windows online Help for instructions.
◆Increase the amount of free hard disk space.
◆Increase your computer’s physical memory (RAM). More memory optimizes OCR performance. See “System requirements” on page 12.
Increasing disk space
Problems may occur if your system runs low on free disk space. Try these solutions for low disk space problems:
◆Empty the Windows Recycle Bin.
◆Close all open applications and delete the *.tmp files in the Temp folder. This folder is usually located in your Windows folder.
◆Run ScanDisk or Check Disk.
◆Back up unneeded files onto floppy disks or other media and delete them from your hard disk.
◆Remove Windows applications that you do not use.
◆Defragment your hard disk.
◆Clear the cache for your web browser and limit its size.
