Setup Scanner

Before using OmniPage for scanning, your scanner should be correctly installed with its own scanner driver software and tested for correct functionality. Scanner driver software is not included with OmniPage.

All files needed for scanner setup and support are copied automatically during the program's installation, but there is no scanner setup at installation time.
