To automatically scan in and convert your paper to editable text:

You may get an error prompt. Simply click the OK button and the scanning will continue.

When you’re all done setting the settings, click the AUTO button. The image will be scanned, converted to text and a prompt will ask you if you wish to Stop Scanning Pages or Scan More Pages. Each page you scan will be placed into the same document.

If you accidentally hit Stop Scanning Pages and wanted to Scan More Pages, simply hit cancel on the Save As box and click on the AUTO button to continue scanning.

Once you are done scanning, click on the Stop Scanning Pages and save your document in the format that you would like.
