14     ArtixScanDI 2020 Supplement

The OCR (Optical Character Recognition) function allows the scanner to convert a
scanned document into text that can be edited from any word processing application.

1. Place the documents with text to be scanned on the ADF's Document Feed Tray.

2. Launch ScanWizardDI in stand-alone mode by clicking the program icon on

the desktop.

3. Follow the procedures (steps 3 through 5) for “Scanning a Stack of Documents”

to specify your scanning requirements

In step 3d, the recommended resolution is 300 dpi or above for OCR.

In step 4, choose Line Art as your image type to obtain best OCR results. When
Black & White is your chosen mode in the Scan Type options, Line Art should be
the selected image type.

4. Click the Scan To button and hold down the mouse until the options menu

appears, then select OCR to open the “OCR” dialog box.

In the “OCR: Save As” dialog box, specify the following settings:

a) Key in your preferred file name

in the “File prefix” edit box, or
use the default “Document” as
a root file name.

b) Select your required export file

format. Save the files as RTF and
TXT, which enables the “Save
multiple pages as a single file”
option in the next step.

c) Check the “Save multiple pages

as a single file” option to store
all the scanned images as a
single file if desired.

d) Select your preferred language

from the “OCR Language”
options. The available options
are English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, and Chinese.

e) Check the “Send document to application after saving” option, then choose

your word processing application from the options.

5. Click the Save button.

The originals are sequentially scanned until the stack of documents is depleted;
when finished, all the scanned images are saved as a single file. The saved file can
now be opened from your chosen application and is ready to be edited.
