Your machine has the following emulation modes. You can change the setting by using the control panel.
„ HP LaserJet Mode
The HP LaserJet mode (or HP mode) is the emulation mode in which this printer supports the PCL6

three times larger than a file created with 256 Colour. It requires the most memory and has the longest
transfer time.

You can set the Brightness level by dragging the slide bar to the right or left to lighten or darken the image.
You can also enter a value in the box to set the level.
If the scanned image is too light, set a lower Brightness level and scan the document again. If the image is
too dark, set a higher Brightness level and scan the document again.
Note
The Brightness setting is only available when Black & White Grey or True Grey is chosen.
Contrast
2
You can increase or decrease the Contrast level by moving the slide bar to the left or right. An increase
emphasizes dark and light areas of the image, while a decrease reveals more detail in grey areas. You can

Using ScanSoft® PaperPort® SE with OCR

®
®
®
ScanSoft PaperPort SE for Brother is a document management application. You can use PaperPort SE
to view scanned documents.
®
PaperPort SE has a sophisticated, yet easy-to-use, filing system that will help you organize your graphics
and text documents. It allows you to mix or ‘stack’ documents of different formats for printing, faxing or filing.
®
®
®
®
You can access ScanSoft PaperPort SE through the ScanSoft PaperPort SE program group.
®
®
See Documents for ScanSoft PaperPort SE on the CD-ROM.
®
®
The complete ScanSoft PaperPort SE User’s Guide, including OCR, is in Documents on the CD-ROM.
This chapter is only an introduction to the basic operations.

Viewing items
2
®
®
ScanSoft PaperPort SE gives several ways to view items:
Desktop View displays a thumbnail (a small graphic that shows each item in a desktop or folder).
®
®
Items in the chosen folder appear on the PaperPort SE Desktop. You can see PaperPort SE items (MAX
®
files) and non-PaperPort SE items (files created using other applications).
®
Non-PaperPort SE items include an icon that indicates the application that was used to create the item; a
®
non-PaperPort SE item is indicated by a small rectangular thumbnail and not an actual image.
®
Page View displays a close-up of a single page and you can open a PaperPort SE item by double-clicking it.
As long as you have the proper application on your PC to display it, you can also double-click a non-
®
PaperPort SE item to open it.

Organizing your items in folders
2
®
PaperPort SE has an easy-to-use filing system for organizing your items. The filing system consists of
®
folders and items that you choose to view in Desktop View. An item can be a PaperPort SE item or a non-
®
PaperPort SE item:
„ Folders are arranged in a ‘tree’ structure in the Folder View. You use this section to choose folders and
view their items in Desktop View.
„ You can simply drag and drop an item onto a folder. When the folder is highlighted, release the mouse
button and the item is stored in that folder.
„ Folders can be ‘nested’—that is, stored in other folders.
®
®
„ When you double-click a folder, its contents (both PaperPort SE MAX files and non PaperPort SE files)
appear on the Desktop.
®
„ You can also use Windows Explorer to manage the folders and items shown in Desktop View.
Quick links to other applications
2
®
®
ScanSoft PaperPort SE automatically recognizes many other applications on your PC and creates a
‘working link’ to them.
The Send To Bar at the bottom of the Desktop view shows icons for those linked applications.
To use a link, drag an item onto one of the icons to start that application. A typical use of the Send To Bar is
to choose an item and then fax it.
®
This sample Send To Bar shows several applications with links to PaperPort SE.
®
If PaperPort SE does not automatically recognize one of the applications on your PC, you can manually
®
create a link using the New Program Link... command. (See PaperPort SE in the Documents section on
the CD-ROM for more information about creating new links.)
ScanSoft® PaperPort® OCR lets you convert image text into text you can edit
2
®
®
ScanSoft PaperPort SE can quickly convert a text document image into text that you can edit with a word
processing application.
®
®
PaperPort SE uses the optical character recognition application OCR, which comes with PaperPort SE.
®
PaperPort SE can use your preferred OCR application if it is already on your PC. You can convert the entire
item, or by using the Copy Text command, you can choose only a portion of the text to convert.
®
Dragging an item onto a word-processing link icon starts PaperPort ’s built-in OCR application, or you can
use your own OCR application.

„ Import files saved in other file formats, such as Windows Bitmap (BMP) or Tagged Image File Format (TIFF).
You can export items into other formats
2
®
You can export or save PaperPort SE items in several popular file formats, such as BMP, JPEG, TIFF, PDF
or self-viewing.
For example, to create a file for an Internet Web site, export it as a JPEG file. Web pages often use JPEG
files for displaying images.

Use for photographic images or graphics. (Error Diffusion is a method for creating simulated grey images
without using true grey dots. Black dots are put in a specific pattern to give the appearance of grey.)
„ True Grey
Use for photographic images or graphics. This mode is more exact because it uses up to 256 shades of
grey.
„ 8 Bit Color
Uses up to 256 colours to scan the image.
„ 24 Bit Color
Uses up to 16.8 million colours to scan the image.
Although using 24 Bit Color creates an image with the most accurate colours, the image file will be about
three times larger than a file created with 8 Bit Color. It requires the most memory and has the longest
