3. How to Use ScanSnap 

 

This chapter describes basic operation of ScanSnap. 

 

With “ScanSnap” you can turn paper office documents on 
your desk into digital files and save them just by pressing a 
single button. The scanned image can be viewed on the 
screen using the supplied applications (Adobe Acrobat, 
CardMinder). 
Two typical usages are: 

 Create digital backups of general office documents in PDF 

format. 
You can edit them later using Adobe Acrobat. Adobe 
Acrobat allows you to make full use of the scanned 
information by using the OCR (Recognize Text Using OCR) 
function to recognize the image of the text portion, the 
security function to set passwords, etc. 
(Note: For information on using Adobe Acrobat, please 
refer to [Adobe Acrobat Help].) 

 Scan and manage business cards. With “CardMinder”, scan, 

recognize and edit business cards, and export the data to a 
popular personal information manager application such as 
Outlook.
