Color forms generally use more memory than black-and-white forms.
If you are scanning a color form and are concerned about the amount
of memory you might use, do not save your color form image with the
file. Choose
Save As...
in the file menu, name your file, and deselect
Save original form(s) with form file
. Click
Save
to save your file.
If you have selected
Show Proofreader after recognition

Importing an Image File
This section describes how to use the
Scan Form...
command to import an
image file as a recognized OmniForm form. You can also use the Form
Assistant dialog box to import a form. See “Using Form Assistant” on
page 14.
OmniForm can import and recognize black-and-white and 24-bit color
forms in either PCX or TIFF format. Image resolution must be 200, 300,
or 400 dots per inch (dpi) for black-and-white forms, and 300 dpi for
color forms. If you have a fax modem, for example, you can receive a
faxed form and use the fax program’s software to save the file in PCX or
TIFF format. OmniForm offers the same import options for image files
as it does for scanned forms.
OmniForm automatically detects color/black-and-white forms when
processing an image file.
