•If you select When the number of images reaches, and input a number in the control box,
any blank pages will be discarded first, and then the number of images scanned will be
counted. For example, if you scan 12 pages and 3 are blank, the total number of images
counted for the job separation will be 9 not 12.
Scanning with Optical Character
Recognition (OCR)
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) converts text and numbers on a scanned page into
editable text and numbers. You can then work with the text and numbers to edit, spell check,
change font or type size, sort, calculate, and so forth.
The One Touch OmniPage Module must be installed on your computer in order to use the OCR
options with the One Touch software and your Xerox scanner. The One Touch OmniPage
Module was automatically installed when you installed your driver from the installation disc.
To scan with OCR:
1. Open the One Touch Properties window.
2. Select a text editing program in the Select Destination list, then select a text file format in
the Select format panel.
For example, if you want to edit your document in Microsoft’s WordPad, select that
application then choose a file format such as TEXT or RTF.
Note: Xerox recommends that all OCR processing use the original factory settings for OCR
scanning that came with your scanner. When scanning with other settings, use at least 300
dpi for the resolution. If the original documents are of poor quality or have a small type font,
400 dpi can be used as the maximum resolution.
Note: Some of the illustrations in this section may not look exactly as they appear on your
computer’s screen. The differences are minor and do not affect the steps to use the new
features.
