The following flow diagram summarizes the processing steps:
Here is an overview of the processing methods you can use. You will find 
step-by-step guidance for each of them in the following pages.
Automatic
A fast and easy way to process documents is to let OmniPage Pro do it 
automatically for you. Select settings in the Options dialog box and in the 
OmniPage Toolbox drop-down lists and then click Start. It will take each 
page through the whole process from beginning to end, when possible 
running in parallel. It will typically auto-zone the pages.
Manual
Manual processing gives you more precise control over the way your 
pages are handled. You can process the document page-by-page with 
different settings for each page. The program also stops between each

start each step by clicking the three buttons on the OmniPage Toolbox.
