|---|---|
| Select source | Sets the scanner driver for ABBYY FineReader to work with. The name of the driver you select will be displayed in the driver line. |
| Use FineReader interface | Specifies that FineReader Scanner Settings dialog will be used to set scanning options. |
| Display options dialog before scanning | This option is useful if you want to check the scanning parameters before scanning. Available only if the Use FineReader interface option is set. |
| Scanner Settings (button) | Opens the Scanner Settings dialog so you may set the scanning parameters. Available only if the Use FineReader interface option is set. |

| Image Preprocessing group | |
| Invert image |
Some scanners invert images (turning black color into white and
vice versa) during scanning. |
| Despeckle image | Use this option to have FineReader remove the excess dots from the image before analyzing and recognizing the page. |
| Split dual pages | Use this option to split the images of book pages into two separate batch pages. The recognition quality will increase, and you'll be able to save each page to a separate file in this case. |
| Detect image orientation (during recognition) | Detects the page orientation and, if necessary, restores the
page's standard orientation (the page text should be read top-down
and text lines should be horizontal). Note: Page orientation is detected during recognition. |
| Convert color and gray images to black and white | Use this option to reduce the disk space occupied by your batch; useful if there are no color pictures/color font/color background on your image or if you don't want to retain the color in the recognized text. |
| New Page group | |
| Ask for page number before adding page to the batch | If you set this option, FineReader will ask you to specify the page number before it adds it to the batch; useful if, say, you're scanning many double-sided pages sorted by their numbers or if you are scanning all even pages first, and then the odd pages. |
| Open image during scanning | Use this option to control the scanning quality more directly. When the scanner is finished scanning a page, it will be displayed in the Image window. |
