Creating Address Labels by Scanning Business Cards
07SE-23S
By scanning with the OCR (Text Searchable) function, you can convert business cards into text searchable PDF or XPS files. The Searchable PDF mode is useful in various situations. This section explains how to create address labels using the [Mail Merge] function of Microsoft Word 2003.
Benefits of the Searchable PDF or XPS mode
The searchable PDF or XPS mode enables you to perform OCR (optical character recognition) to extract data that can be recognized as text from the scanned image, and add it as a transparent layer of text to create a PDF or XPS file that is searchable. This mode enables you to search necessary information quickly from PDF or XPS files.
The scanned business cards can be stored in a desired location, from the Advanced Box of the another machine on the network, to memory media.
This section uses the procedure for storing the scanned data in memory media as an example.
The appearance of the screens may differ from the ones you actually see, depending on the model of the machine you are using and the optional products available for use.
Required Condition
Network settings are set.
The Send function can be used on this machine.
IMPORTANT
Text may not be detected correctly, depending on the background color, style and size of the characters in the image.
