Problem

Solutions: This is a quick and dirty training memo on using the HP Scanjet scanner to bring in scanned images into WordPerfect. A scanner is a device that can "scan" images from a screen (just like a copier) and create a file with the scanned image. This file can then be brought into WordPerfect using the graphics feature and used accordingly. The Scanjet uses both software and a card to operate correctly. Once an image is scanned, you then can use the Scanjet software to edit the scanned image. You can change halftones, dithering and gray scaling. Scanning an image in WP usually uses the grayscale. The regular ScanJet cannot do true OCR scanning. (OCR -- Optical Character Recognition); that is, straight text which can be retrieved as normal and edited. However, the newer model, the ScanJet+ does have that capability. Using the ScanJet takes just a few simple steps: 1. Use the software "Scanning Gallery" (letter "S" in the shell) and go into the main menu to select the "Scanner" menu. 2. Scan the image using "Preview Scan". 3. The next menu will ask if you want various options such as gray scaling, lighter or darker. WP uses gray scaling. Select "OK" when you're ready. 4. Once the image is scanned, you can crop the image, change options and size of the image and other items on the menu. 5. Then select Scanner again and select "Final Scan" to create the actual TIFF file. You can either give the file a name or just use the default name of IMAGE.TIF. Once the file is created, you retrieve the file into WordPerfect just as a normal graphics file. The main thing to remember is that the user should be made to understand that THEY are responsible for using the scanning software correctly. We are not responsible or trained in the use of this scanner. We can only support them in bringing the file into WP.
