Current OCR Language Allows you to choose the language the OCR program uses to check words it is processing in the item. The Controls tab of the Preferences dialog box controls the control range readout to use for scanning. the control range sets the amount of tonal resolution per color available for correction in the Adjust Exposure command and Adjust Black & White Threshold command. Using a larger number of bits for the control range results in greater control of compensation for exposure or threshold correction. Choose one of these options: 8-bit readout (0-255) -- sets the controls to use 8 bits of tonal resolution per color 10-bit readout (0-1023) -- sets the controls to use 10 bits of tonal resolution per color 12-bit readout (0-4095) -- sets the controls to use 12 bits of tonal resolution per color 16-bit readout (0-65535) -- sets the controls to use 16 bits of tonal resolution per color Scanning from HP PrecisionScan Pro To scan from other programs You can bring an image directly into an open file in one of your programs if the program supports TWAIN or the HP ScanJet Plug-in. generally , the program is compliant if it has a command such as "Acquire , " "Scan , " or "Import New Object. " If you are unsure if the program is compliant or what the command is called, see the documentation for the program. When scanning from within a program that supports TWAIN or the HP ScanJet Plug-in, the HP PrecisionScan Pro software may start if the program allows it. If the HP PrecisionScan Pro software starts, you can make changes to the image as you normally would. Start a scan from within the other program by choosing the Acquire (or similar) command. if the HP PrecisionScan Pro software opens and displays the preview image , create a selection area. You can crop the scan (if necessary), select the output type, and make optional adjustments as you normally would. When finished making changes to the scanned image, do one of the following to perform a final scan and place it in the program from which you started scanning: If your program does not support TWAIN or the HP ScanJet Plug-in, you can try to copy and paste or dragand-drop the image into the program. If the image does not appear, the program might not accept the resolution or output type you selected. The scanner supports using the HP ScanJet Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) and the HP ScanJet Transparency Adapter (XPA) for slides, negatives, and other transparent items. These accessories are included with some scanner models or can be ordered. Slide the stack into the ADF until the stack does not move any farther. When you use the ADF, you can scan to the HP PrecisionScan Pro software or other destinations. Place a stack of similarly sized originals in the document input tray, face up and with the first page on top. [. . . ] If you are using a program that supports TWAIN, you can start the HP PrecisionScan Pro software directly from that program. The horizontal dimension of your scan as it is sent to its destination. The ability to enlarge, or magnify, the image in the Preview area so that finer adjustments can be made to the image. This action does not enlarge the picture that is saved, printed, copied to the Clipboard, or dragged into another program. [. . . ]
