- | ====== Copier Scanning and Formatting for Optical Character Recognition ====== | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Copier Scanning Instructions ===== | ||
- | |||
- | You can scan documents at both copiers in IRM. Here's how: | ||
- | |||
- | * Press the “Features” button | ||
- | |||
- | * Select “All Services” on the keypad | ||
- | |||
- | * Select “Network Scanning” on the keypad | ||
- | |||
- | * Close the message about templates | ||
- | |||
- | * Place your documents in the copier | ||
- | |||
- | * Hit “Start”, the keypad will show “Processing”, then “Transferring” | ||
- | |||
- | To scan a document with Optical Character Recognition (OCR) (Xerox model 5865): | ||
- | |||
- | * Select "Workflow Scanning" | ||
- | |||
- | * Select "Advanced Settings" | ||
- | |||
- | * Select "Scan Presets" | ||
- | |||
- | * Select "OCR" | ||
- | |||
- | Two files will appear in your coll_management - R|S:\scans folder, one with a .pdf file extension and another with an .xst file extension. The one with the .xst extension is useless and you can delete it. The .pdf will have a very generic name; best to match your scan with your filename by date and time. | ||
- | |||
- | Open the file with the .pdf file extension, and save the file with a name and folder location that makes sense to you. Then, **please** go back to the coll_management - R|S:\scans folder and delete the generic .pdf of your file. This will prevent bloat and mayhem in the \scans folder. | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Converting PDFs to Optical Character Recognition (OCR) Enabled or Text Searchable ===== | ||
- | |||
- | * Open Adobe Acrobat | ||
- | |||
- | * Select "Tools" from the menu | ||
- | |||
- | * Select "Enhance Scans" | ||
- | |||
- | * Select "Recognize Text" | ||
- | |||
- | * Select either “in this file” or “in multiple files” | ||
- | |||
- | * Select "recognize text" again | ||
- | |||
- | Doing large batches takes a while, over an hour for 514 files for example. If several files of docs are selected - remove docs that are not PDFs and any PDFs that have problems (they will be marked). |
