PaperPort
®
is a program that allows you to organize, find and share all your paper and digital documents, and is
supplied with your printer.
NOTE: PaperPort may not be supported depending on the operating systems.
NOTE: PaperPort application is available only on the
PaperPort 14
disc provided with the printer. The licensed software
application is not available for download from www.dell.com/support.
The resolution setting to use when you scan an item depends on the item type and how you plan to use the image or
document after you scan it in to your computer. For the best results, use these recommended settings.
Scanning beyond these recommended resolutions may exceed the capabilities of the application. If you require a
resolution above those recommended in the above table, you should reduce the size of the image by previewing (or
pre-scan) and cropping before scanning the image.
NOTE: You can use PaperPort's built-in Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to copy text from scanned documents so
that you can use and edit the text in any text editing, word processing, or spreadsheet program. The OCR process requires
textual images scanned at 150–600 dpi and 300 dpi or 600 dpi is recommended for graphics.
Dell ScanCenter is a PaperPort application that allows you to scan items and send them directly to PaperPort or
other programs on your computer without first running PaperPort. Dell ScanCenter runs as a separate application
from the Microsoft
®
Windows
®
start menu and displays the Dell ScanCenter bar. For more information about
using Dell ScanCenter, refer to the PaperPort's Help menu.
