Section 4: Using the AXIS 700
AXIS 700 User’s Manual 47
Tools for viewing,
OCR and archiving
Tools for viewing, OCR and archiving by and large support multipage
compressed TIFF, but often also JPEG. Document viewers are
optimized for presenting document data in a readable format on a
screen. Often suitable tools are bundled with desktop scanners. Today,
tools that combine viewing, OCR, and simple archiving are becoming
more and more popular. Such a tool is delivered with Windows 95
and Windows NT.
Recommendations
These are some general recommendations in relation to the predefined
scanning profiles:
• When using the “Text” profiles for scanning documents, ensure
that the viewing tool supports multipage CCITT G.4-compressed
TIFF; this format is the most common standard for imaging and
archiving of scanned documents.
• When scanning pictures, e.g. direct Web publishing, use “Color
low” or “Color high” that both create a JPEG file. The image files
generated by these profiles are supported by basically all existing
image editors and Web browsers.
Extensive testing of popular tools have been made to ensure that AXIS
700 is compatible with them. However, this does not guarantee
compatibility with all existing tools. If you find tools that AXIS 700
does not support, we would like to know about it. You find
information about how to contact us in “Appendix E - How To
Contact Axis” .
