Solution1: Close all the other applications that are running in the background.
Cause 2: You are scanning at a high resolution (DPI).

Symptom: The scanned document comes out as strange characters on the
screen after the OCR process is completed.
Cause 1: Text page was scanned upside down.
Solution 1: Reverse the page and scan again.
Cause 2: The OCR software is limited to certain types of documents, fonts and
formats. You might be trying to scan a form, spread sheet, a hand
written letter or a document with color text or color page.
Solution 2: Scan a clean document that contains, preferably, one column and has
black text on a white page.
Symptom: The scanner is not in the list of supported scanners in other
commercial software.
Solution: Select TWAIN as the scanner.
Symptom: Unable to scan from other software other than the one that came
with the scanner.
Solution: Enter the Scanner Setup within the program, Select TWAIN and you will
see your scanner listed (e.g., Your Scanner Model Name).
Symptom: Unable to save to a floppy diskette.
Cause 1: The floppy disk might be writing protected.
Solution 1: Move the write protection tab, located in the back of the diskette, to the
closed position.
Cause 2: Your disk might not be formatted.

Cause 3: There is not enough space available in the disk to save the document.
Solution 3: Delete any files that you do not need from the floppy disk.
Cause 4: You might be scanning your document at a high resolution. Documents
scanned using higher resolution modes will take a considerable amount
of disk space.
Solution 4: Reduce the resolution.
Symptom: The image looks good in the software that came with the scanner
but it does not look good when I export the image to another
program.
