2. On the File menu, click Scan New Document.
3. In the Scan New Document dialog box, select the options you want.
   • To select additional scanning options, click Preset options, and then click either Create new preset or Edit selected preset.
   • If you want to scan a double-sided page, select the Original is double sided check box.
4. Click Scan.

   If you selected the Original is double sided check box, the Scan New Document dialog box reappears as necessary.

5. If you selected the Original is double sided check box or the Prompt for additional pages check box, click Done to save the file after the last page is scanned.

Note  By default, OCR is performed automatically when you scan documents. To turn off this feature, click Scan New Document on the File menu, and then click either Create new preset or Edit selected preset. On the Processing tab of the Preset Options dialog box, clear the Use OCR to recognize the text of the scanned image check box.

1. On the File menu, click Scan New Document.
2. In the Scan New Document dialog box, do one or more of the following:
   • If your scanner is equipped with an automatic document feeder (ADF), click Scanner, and then select the Use automatic document feeder check box.
   • If your scanner is equipped with an ADF and you have double-sided originals, select the Original is double sided check box to scan both the front and back of multiple pages. Place the pages in the feeder so that the page fronts are scanned first.

     The Microsoft Office Document Scanning dialog box will appear after each scan, allowing you to turn the pages over and scan the page backs. Microsoft Office Document Imaging automatically collates the pages in the correct order after scanning is complete.

   • If you want to scan pages manually, select the Prompt for additional pages check box. Office Document Imaging will pause after each page is scanned, allowing you to place the next page in your scanner.

     If you are using an ADF, click this option to pause when the feeder is empty, allowing you to load more pages. You can also use this option when scanning documents that won't fit or are too long to load into the feeder. The Microsoft Office Document Scanning dialog box appears after each page is scanned, or after the ADF is empty.

3. Click Scan.

4. If you selected the Original is double sided check box or the Prompt for additional pages check box, click Done after the last page is scanned.

Note  If you have a true duplex ADF (one that automatically scans both sides of the page), do not use the Original is double sided option. Instead, in the Scan New Document dialog box, click Scanner, and then select the Show scanner driver dialog before scanning check box. When your scanner driver dialog box appears, select the proper duplex settings.
