Scanning Business Cards

You can scan business cards and convert them to editable text using the Presto! BizCard software that came with your scanner.

Load the entire stack of cards (up to 10 cards) into the input tray. See Loading Cards for instructions.

Do one of the following to start Presto! BizCard.

Windows: Select the start button or Start > Programs or All Programs > NewSoft > Presto! BizCard 5 SE > Presto! BizCard 5 SE.

Mac OS X: Select Applications > Presto! BizCard 5 SE, and double-click the Presto! BizCard 5 Us icon.

Presto! BizCard window appears.

Click the Scan icon at the top-left of the window. Epson Scan starts.

Select one of these settings as the Document Source setting.

Single-Sided: Select this setting when you scan only one side of your document page.

Double-Sided: Select this setting when you scan both sides of your document page.

Carrier Sheet (Single-Sided): Select this setting when you scan irregular shaped documents or documents with folds or wrinkles using the carrier sheet.

Carrier Sheet (Stitch Images): Select this setting when you scan A3, B4, or US B size documents using the carrier sheet. Epson Scan scans images with double-sided setting, then outputs a stitched image.

Select Card/Business Card as the Size setting.

Select Portrait (tall) as the Orientation setting.

Select Auto, Color, Grayscale, or Black & White as the Image Type setting.

Select 400 as the Resolution setting.

Click Scan. Your document is scanned, processed into editable text, and opened in the Presto! BizCard window.

Note:

If the characters in your text are not recognized very well, you can improve recognition by selecting the Text Enhancement check box or adjusting the Threshold setting. See Adjusting the Color and Other Image Settings for instructions.

Follow the instructions in Presto! BizCard Help to edit and save your document.
