Once the PaperPort Deluxe software is installed, use the supplied calibration page to automatically adjust for the best possible image quality. Insert the wider edge of the calibration page into the scanner. When the calibration is complete in about a minute, withdraw the page and click OK. Calibration should take only about a minute.
Notice the button on the scanner. Pressing this opens the scanner's preferences dialog box. Eclipse uses the Faxing, Filing, or Copying scan settings and defaults. The PaperPort scanner has no on/off switch; simply insert a sheet of paper, facing up, to begin scanning. Paper sizes from 2" wide to 30" long may be used in the scanner.
Follow these guidelines when setting scanning option settings for Image Indexing:
For scans of most business documents, set your scanning software for binary black & white (1 bit) scans at a resolution of 200 dots-per-inch (dpi).
For scans of barcodes, set your scanner software for binary black and white (1 bit) scans at 600 dots-per-inch (dpi) resolution.
Scanning at a higher bit-depth or resolution than necessary wastes storage space, and the increased memory demands slow your computer's performance.
Save images using *tif (TIFF, or Tagged Image File Format) with CCITT Group 4 (Consultative Committee for International Telegraph and Telephone) compression settings if you can specify these settings for the scanner. This format can be faxed.
Set the default format for new item title to any date format without a comma (Edit > Preferences > Item Names tab). For example, 11-19-2002.
