Using the Scanners
When scanning books, the software automatically corrects page curvature and processes the two facing pages as separate pages. It can also be used to scan individual sheets and documents.
The text of scanned documents can be recognised using OCR (Optical Character Recognition). The resulting files can be saved in several formats, including PDF, Word, Excel, and TXT, and searchable PDFs can also be created. The OCR technology supports recognition in more than 180 languages.
To scan documents, users must log in with their PTE ID on the computer connected to the scanner, then start the scan in the CZUR SCANNER software.
For scanning books, the Facing Pages processing mode is available. This mode automatically corrects page curvature and separates the image into individual pages. For scanning individual sheets and documents, use the Flat Single Page mode.
Scanned pages can be reviewed in the software and then saved in the desired format using the Export function.
A tutorial video on using the scanners is available here.
