If Hardware Options is not gray, check your scanner's documentation for 
how to determine your scanner's port address and other parameters. 
These parameters are usually included at the end of the 

DEVICE=YOUR_SCANNER

 entry in your config.sys file. 

Choose this to select a user dictionary, set spell-checking options, and 
toggle the Language Analyst on and off.

Select this if the application you want to register deals mostly with 
numbers in columns.

Direct is designed to automatically work with Windows applications 
installed on your hard disk when you install Direct. As you install new 
applications, you can set them up to work with Direct by registering the

dialog box, click the Direct icon once and then click Settings.

indicates that OCR will always stay loaded.

Once loaded, OCR normally stays in memory until you close the program. 
However, this setting lets you clear OCR from memory without closing 
the Direct program.

Select this to use the Language Analyst during recognition. The Language
