5. Launch OmniPage Pro and try performing OCR on an image. Use a 

known image file such as one of the supplied sample files.

You can also run OmniPage Pro from a command line in its own safe mode. 

Choose Start !Run, browse for the file 

OmniPage.exe

 

and add the command 

line option  

/safe

. This starts the program, but ignores previously stored settings 

and does not try to recover a document from an abnormal termination.

OmniPage Pro may run poorly under low-memory conditions. This may 
be indicated by various error messages or if OmniPage Pro works slowly 
and accesses the hard drive often. Try these solutions for low memory 
conditions:

◆

Restart your computer.

◆

Close other open applications to release memory.

◆

Close unnecessary OmniPage Pro applications.

◆

Defragment your hard disk to free up contiguous blocks of disk 
space. See Windows online Help for instructions. 

◆

Increase the amount of free hard disk space. 

◆

Increase your computer’s physical memory (RAM). More 
memory optimizes OCR performance. See “System 
requirements” on page 12.

Problems may occur if your system runs low on free disk space. Try these 
solutions for low disk space problems:

◆

Empty the Windows Recycle Bin. 

◆

Close all open applications and delete the 

*.tmp

 files in the Temp 

folder. This folder is usually located in your Windows folder.

◆

Run ScanDisk or Check Disk. 

◆

Back up unneeded files onto floppy disks or other media and 
delete them from your hard disk.
