Source text print type
As a rule source text print type is determined automatically. To ensure that this is the case,
select
Autodetect in the Print Type group (Tools>Options menu, Recognition tab).
When recognizing draft mode dot matrix printouts or typewritten texts, recognition quality
can sometimes be increased by selecting another
print type:
z Select the
Typewriter item if you wish to recognize typewritten texts
z Select the
Dot Matrix Printer item if you wish to recognize dot matrix
printouts.
An example of draft mode dot matrix text. Character lines are
made up of individual dots.
An example of typewritten text. All letters are of equal width
(compare, for example, “w” and “a").
To change print type:
z Select the print type of your choice on the Recognition tab in the
Options dialog (Tools>Options menu).
Note: Once you have completed recognition of typewritten texts or dot matrix printouts,
remember to reenable the
Autodetect item to recognize normal texts once again.
Other recognition options

(
Tools>Options menu).

If the application recognizes blocks containing vertical text incorrectly (a text block or a
table cell):
z rightclick the block containing the vertical text and select the
Properties
