Selecting an image type

Depending on the scanner you have, you will be able to scan different types of

images according to your needs. You can scan an image and output it in its

original form, or you can output it in another form and get some interesting

effects.

For instance, you can scan a grayscale photo and output it in its original form as

a grayscale photo, or you can output it as a halftone to create a new look.

Whatever you do, however, keep in mind that the quality of the original is very

important in determining the quality of the final scanned image. The next few

pages will give you more information on how to get top-quality scans.

Text Scanning

Aside from scanning images, your scanner can scan text and deliver it into your

word processor, eliminating the need for retyping. This is done through the use

of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software, which converts scans to text

and retains text formats through the software's ability to recognize the shapes,

shades and lines that make up individual characters.

Most Microtek flatbed scanners come with OCR software to provide you with

maximum value for your scanner.
