3. How to Use ScanSnap
This chapter describes basic operation of ScanSnap.
3.1. Scanning Documents
With "ScanSnap", you can turn paper office documents on
your desk into digital files, save them, attach them to
e-mail, print them, and convert them into Word/Excel/
PowerPoint data just by pressing a single button. The
scanned image can be viewed on the screen using the
supplied applications (Adobe Acrobat, ScanSnap Organizer,
CardMinder).
Three typical usages are:
●
Create digital backups of general office documents in PDF
format.
You can edit them later using Adobe Acrobat. Adobe
Acrobat allows you to make full use of the scanned
information by using the OCR (Optical Character
Recognition) function to recognize the image of the text
portion, the security function to set passwords, etc.
(Note: For information on using Adobe Acrobat, please
refer to [Adobe Acrobat Help].)
● With the "Action List", attach the scanned documents to
e-mail, print them out with a printer, share them over the
network, as well as convert them into Word/Excel/
PowerPoint files by using the OCR function.
