Nuance scansoft omnipage pro 14 User Manual

14

All files needed for scanner setup and support are copied automatically 
during the program’s installation, but no scanner setup occurs at 
installation time. Before using OmniPage Pro 14 for scanning, your 
scanner should be installed with its own scanner driver software and 
tested for correct functionality. Scanner driver software is not included 
with OmniPage Pro.

Scanner setup is done through the Scanner Setup Wizard. You can start 
this yourself, as described below. Otherwise, it appears when you first 
attempt to perform scanning. Proceed as follows:

◆

Choose Start!All Programs!ScanSoft OmniPage Pro 14.0! 

Scanner Wizard

or click the Setup button in the Scanner panel of the Options 
dialog box.

or choose Scan in the Get Page drop-down list in the OmniPage 
Toolbox and click the Get Page button.

◆

The Scanner Setup Wizard starts. If you have a web connection, 

the first panel invites you to update the scanner database supplied 
with the wizard. Choose Yes or No and click on Next.

◆

Choose ‘Select and test scanner or digital camera’, then click 

Next. If you have a single installed scanner, it appears, along with 
any scanners previously set up with OmniPage Pro. If the 
required scanner is not listed, click Add Scanner... .

◆

You see a list of all detected scanner drivers in the checkmarked 

categories. This can include network devices. Select one and click 
OK. To install a second device, you must run the Scanner Wizard 
again.

◆

The wizard reports whether the chosen scanner model already 

has settings in the scanner database. If it does, you do not need to 
test it. If it does not, you should test it. Click on Next.

◆

If you chose not to test, click Finish. If you chose testing, click 

Next to have the scanner connection tested. If the connection is 
in order, you see a menu of further tests. Choose which testing 
steps you want to run. The Basic test scan is recommended.
