CAPTURE TOOL OVERVIEW

USING THE CAPTURE TOOL

By default, there is no Capture Tool shortcut. In order to open the application.

1. Open the Windows Start Menu and search for “Capture Tool”. Click on it to open it.
2. Upon startup, the application will prompt you for the driver type (generally TWAIN) and scanner to use. In this case, select the 7800 and click OK.

Main Menu

Setup
Opens the Scanner Properties menu, allowing you to control what settings are used when scanning.

Scan
Begins a scan using the currently selected settings.

Software User Guide

Save
If selected, will save the document automatically once the scan is complete. If not selected, will not save the scanned image

File Format
Allows you to select the output file type. This dropdown is only available when Save is selected.

Output File Formats

BMP
A simple image format, with little to no compression. This format is good for if you want to edit the image in a different application afterwards.File Format

JPEG
A common image format with a normal amount of compression. Good for file transfers.

GIF
A common image format used for images on websites and servers, with a high level of compression. Can result in lower image quality.

PDF/MPDF
A standard image format used to create images of text pages, with a good compression/quality ratio when scanning multiple page files in color.

• MPDF – MPDF stands for Multi-page PDF. This allows multiple pages to be scanned into a single document. For the 7800 to work with this, you will need to set up Timeout options in the settings.

TIFF/MTIFF
A common image format that has little compression, similar to BMP, but produces the smallest file size of all image types when using Black and White.

• MTIFF – also allows for multiple-page Tiff files. Like MPDF, for the 7800 to work with this, you will need to set up Timeout options in the settings.

Destination and View Options

Scanning Destination
This is the folder the output file will be automatically created in once the scan is complete.

• You can type in the path, or click the folder icon on the right to open a browse window.

• The left button will ensure the scanned image fits entirely on the screen.
• The right button will keep the page at its original size.
