Using Batch Scan

Batch scanning is an easy way to multi-scan any part of your document using different scan modes and resolutions. In batch scanning, you can specify up to a maximum of 10 scan regions, or you can scan a single region several times using different combinations of scan modes and resolutions.

To activate batch scanning, click on the Batch Scan button. This will bring up the Batch Scan dialog box (ImageAcquire does not support the Batch Scan).

•

Check if the document is written in lead pencil or wet ink.

•

Make sure to clean the Scanner’s Flatbed Glass frequently.

Scanning speed is very slow.

•

Scanning takes longer than usual when you scan at high resolution and large size.

•

Set a lower resolution in the settings to prioritize the scanning speed.

•

Scanning with multiple image processing can slow down the scanning speed.

Cannot acquire the Scanner from Photoshop.

•

You need to install the Photoshop TWAIN plug-in prior to use. Refer to "Using TWAIN in Photoshop CS4-CC version.pdf" in the Installation DVD.

Scanned image edges are cropped.

•

Make sure your original is placed correctly for scanning.

•

When scanning darker originals (i.e. night scenery photos), over-cropping may occur.

Text created by the OCR software is incorrect.

•

Select a resolution of minimum 300 dpi in the software settings. The OCR software may not always convert all text correctly. Please check the document for any errors that the OCR may have missed.

•

The OCR recognition result is generally more accurate with the text-based digital images. Images with mixed content (text, images, and graphics all in the one page) may result less accurate.

•

Set the Scanner color settings to “B/W” if the text is black against a white background.

•

Check if the quality of the original document is poor through the OCR recognition process.

The preview image appears blurry or fuzzy

•

The preview image appears in the Preview Area is a scaled down lower resolution image, meant to quickly display the preview image.
