Optical Character Recognition: Scanning Non-standard Size Pages and Large Items

Instructions Flash Video Demo OCR Scan to editable text with OmniPage   (02:57) If you are scanning an item with non-standard sized pages, there are a few steps necessary before you begin to scan in OmniPage Pro, the OCR program. 1. Reduce the page size of your item to standard size (8 ½" x 11") . This is often most easily and quickly done by using a photocopier. Or, if you are comfortable using Photoshop, scanning your oversize item on the UMAX, reducing its actual size in Photoshop to fit on standard-size paper, and printing it, is another option. 2. Create a PDF of your item using the Fujitsu, following the instructions on page 55. 3. Open OmniPage Pro 14. 4. Leave the 1-2-3 pull-down menu set at 1-2-3. 5.
