Section 4: Using the AXIS 700
46 AXIS 700 User’s Manual
Double-sided
If supported by the attached scanner, you can select Double-sided to
scan both sides of a page simultaneously. This option is also known as
Duplex and may be referred to by that term in the scanner
documentation.
Check whether there is print on both sides. There is no point scanning
in double-sided mode if not required.
❏ By default double-sided is off.
Viewing the Scanned Images
AXIS 700 generates standard TIFF and JPEG images that are
supported by most image-related applications. AXIS 700 does not rely
on any product-specific software installed on each client. Still, to be
able to use the images created, you need tools for viewing and
manipulating the images.
If you associate applications to the supported image file formats,
double-clicking on an image icon launches the application. There are
several image-archive tools available that create thumbnail pictures of
the scanned information.
There are basically two different types of imaging tools:
• Tools optimized for image/picture editing
• Tools optimized for handling scanned documents
Tools for
Image/Picture Editing
Tools for image/picture editing normally supports JPEG and single-
image uncompressed TIFF. They are optimized for handling color and
grayscale images. Some tools are delivered with the desktop scanners.
Most tools will work fine, as long as JPEG and/or TIFF are supported.
