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 or the OmniPage Pro software must be installed on your computer

in order to use the OCR options with the One Touch software and your Xerox DocuMate 3640. The

One Touch OmniPage Module was automatically installed when you installed your driver from the

installation disc. The One Touch OmniPage Mini-Guide is available on the installation disc. Please refer

to that mini-guide for detailed instructions.

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 Word, select that application then

choose a file format such as TEXT, RTF or DOC.

3. Click on OK to save the changes and close the One Touch Properties window.

4. Press or click the One Touch button you set to scan with OCR.

Your scanned pages appear in the Destination Application with the text ready for editing and other

text processing.

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.
