W ith a computer with Autorun enabled, as soon as you insert the ImageReader PowerScan Installation CD-ROM disc in the computer , the installation program will start.
13 Note: If your scanner came as part of a scanner and camera package, some of the following information will be repeated in your Camera User ’ s Guide. If you have already installed the software applications (InfoCenter 32, PictureFun, and Adobe Acrobat Reader), you do not need to do so again as part of your scanner installation.
14 Installing files The scanner driver will take a few moments to write the appropriate files to your hard drive. PC Compatibility Information When the driver is installed you will be shown a reminder about the parallel port settings required for optimal perfor- mance of your scanner .
15 If you want to change the information that was pre-entered by your computer , you will have to clear the line (click your mouse on the line and either delete or backspace or highlight the exist- ing text and overwrite). If you have no company name or the Camera and software is for your personal use, type – none- in the company field.
16 your installation called Headliner . Headliner is a news and information retrieval service that is designed to display the news and information in an easy to read and access format. If you do not have an Internet connection or you do not want to install Headliner , click No .
17 Installing files Once you have completed filling in the required information, PictureFun will proceed to install on your computer . During the installation you will be asked if you want to install high-resolution templates for Paper .
18 As you go through the installation, there are some points where you will be asked to fill in information. Each section here is a separate installation screen. Many of the screen-shots below only show a portion of the screen (the portion that changes or has important information).
19 The default directory for InfoCenter Lite is C:InfoLite . There are two methods to change the destination directory if you want to install to a different location.
20 InfoCenter Lite Installation Complete When the InfoCenter Lite installation is finished copying files onto your hard drive and setting up the applications you chose, it will create two program groups, open them and put in the new icons which are links to launch the applications.

22 Scanner Operation The following directions specify using your scanner with InfoCenter 32 or InfoCenter Lite. How- ever , most TW AIN compliant applications have similar controls and menu choices with regard to TW AIN. For any application other than InfoCenter 32 or InfoCenter Lite, consult the software manual for specific information.
23 If there is nothing listed in the source selection window , the scanner driver is not installed. See the T r oubleshooting section for information on what may have interfered with the driver installation. Document Placement Y our original should be placed into the scanner face down against the glass.
24 The PowerScan TW AIN interface is divided into two windows: the Control W indow and the Preview W indow . The Control W indow is further divided into sections to help guide you through all the scanning settings.
25 B/W Line Art Line Art captures the image in black and white only (single-bit) with no intermediate shades of gray . Because there is very little image information that has to be stored, a LineArt scanned item takes up very storage space. Many OCR programs require an image be scanned in Line Art.
26 The ImageReader PowerScan is capable of a maximum resolution of 9600dpi (600x600 Optical). However , if you try to scan at 9600 dpi, be very aware the resulting file size will be astronomically Huge. Y ou should match your scanning resolution to the purpose of your image or scanning task.
27 Scale Y ou can resize your image before you scan it by setting the scale. If you set the scale to 25%, your image will be reduced to one quarter of its original size.
28 Color W izard Color Enhance will automatically make adjustments to the scanned output to achieve a closer match to the colors of your original in the scanned image. T ool Bar There are six buttons on the button bar at the top of the TW AIN interface window .
29 Histogram/T one Map W ith the Histogram/T one Map, you can make adjustments to color values: brightest, middle & darkest gray . Each item can be configured separately with its labeled slide bar . If you want to see how your changes will affect your image, click the Preview button.
30 Halftone Patterns: Halftone mimics grayscale by varying the size of the dots. Use this screen to choose how the dots will be varied to achieve the effect you desire. Sharpness: Some images can be improved with adjustments to the Sharpness, which governs how the dif ferences between color edges and shapes are handled.
31 Scan After you have made any necessary adjustments to the scanning control, this button will begin the actual scan. Note: The Scan button will remain grayed (unavailable) until you have marked a scanning area , see Pr eview above. Y our scanning progress will be noted at the bottom of the Preview W indow .
32 Included Applications and Reading the Softwar e Manuals This section of the manual is intended as a quick reference to the applications that came with your scanner .
33 In InfoCenter 32 and InfoCenter Lite you can scan documents, images, and anything you want to scan. InfoCenter 32 and InfoCenter Lite will display your completed scans as thumbnails on its desktop. Y ou can use the toolbar at the top of the desktop to do several different things to your image.
34 If you are scanning pictures or objects, you can scan directly into any of the PictureFun suite (except for the Setup and informational ones) or , in InfoCenter 32, you can drag your thumbnail onto the Application Bar icon for the application. See below for a description of what each of the PictureFun applications can do.
35 Pictur eMall is not directly af filiated with Info. Y ou will need to contact PictureMall for any questions about orders or pricing for items ordered through the PictureMall or PictureFun applications. InfoCenter Lite Applications (W indows 3.1 or 3.

49 printers require margins & most will shrink the image to fit within those mar gins). 5. When scanning documents with the Copier function, it will be processed as an image not a text document.
50 document with a background image (like a printed watermark). 6. Most error messages while doing OCR are the result of one of the above not being as it should be (ie. too high of a resolution or an incorrect scan mode). 7. Most OCR applications cannot retain your page layout, but will only convert the word present.
51 Glossary of Imaging T erms Some of the terms here are not used in the scanner or camera driver or application software included with your scanner or camera. The information here is for your information only and does not imply support for any imaging task or application.
52 8-bit grayscale Grayscale, in contrast, is scanned in 8 or 10 bits (output of 8 bits), a single channel of color , providing for 256 shades of gray . 1-bit black and white Line-Art, Error Diffusion and Half-tone modes scan in single bit (either on or of f) which is only black and white, no shades or gradations of color .
53 Bitmap The representation of a digital image in the computer ’ s memory . BPP Bi-directional Parallel Port mode. This less advanced port mode allows communication to pass in both directions between the computer and parallel port devices. Brightness The balances of dark and light shades determine the intensity of an image.
54 Compression Compression means the reduction of data needed to save information, especially image and sound data. There are lossless methods, which only remove redundant data, and lossy methods, which achieve extremely high compression rates at acceptable loss of information (such as JPEG and MPEG).
55 Dir ect Color Generic term for T rueColor , RealColor and HiColor . In these modes, the color information saved in the display memory is not translated by a look-up table, but passed directly to the D/A converter . This means that the full color information has to be saved for each pixel.
56 EPP Enhanced Parallel Port mode. On some computers, you will have an EPP emulation, which is denoted by a version number in the BIOS (ie. EPP 1.7). This mode will allow the computer to send an advanced parallel port signal to installed parallel port device(s).
57 Hue Hue provides the contrast between colors, what distinguishes one color from another . HSV Hue Saturation V alue. The characteristics of the image’ s color based on the hue, saturation and brightness (value).
58 multiplied (for example, a block of four equally colored pixels represents the original pixel), aliasing effects (“blocks” and “stairs”) will occur . This can be avoided by interpolation procedures (using average colors for inserted pixels).
59 manager , Memmaker , which can be run from a DOS-prompt (but not within W indows). Running a memory manager can free up conventional (the first 640K) memory for use by programs.
60 OpenGL 3-D software interface (3-D API). Implemented, for example, in W indows NT and later releases of W indows 95. Based on Iris GL from Silicon Graphics and licensed by Microsoft. Optical Resolution The true resolution of the scanner determined by its hardware optics.
61 installing support for the device. Only devices or interface cards that W indows 95 has direct support for can be Plug and Play . Scanner , digital camera and other imaging device support is not built into W indows 95; therefore, no scanner , digital camera or other imaging device can be truly Plug and Play .
62 ROM Read Only Memory . Chip memory that cannot be written to, such as the BIOS of a computer or the firmware of an expansion board. Rotate Change the perspective of an image with respect to the original. Rotate will turn the image to one direction or the other , ¼ turn or even completely upside down.
63 Serial Device A device that is designed to be connected to the serial port. Examples include external modems, digital cameras, mice, digital notepads, etc. Serial Port Also called a Comport. This connection is often 9-pin or 25-pin and generally a male connector .
64 YCbCr format: Y contains the luminance (brightness) signal, Cb and Cr contain the chrominance (color) information. See also YUV and RGB. YCbCr and YUV are linked via the following equations: Y = 0.3 R + 0.59 G + 0.1 1 B Cb = (U/2) + 0.5 Cr = (V/1.6) + 0.
65 folders in W indows and other operating systems. An icon file from one operating system may not work on another . JPG , JPEG This compressed format is commonly used to pass images from one person to another across the Internet. All of the imaging programs packaged with your scanner support this format.
66 Info Limited W arranty Info warrants this scanner to be free of manufacturing defects, both materials and workmanship, for a period of one year from the date of original purchase.
