NeatWorks Quick Scan Tutorial

Welcome to NeatWorks User Quick Scan Video Tutorial. The NeatWorks Quick Scan Center enables rapid batch scanning of documents, receipts and business cards. It can be opened separately from the NeatWorks application, which means you can quickly and easily scan your paper whenever the need arises. Ready? Let’s get started. 
 
To access the Neat Quick Scan Center, go to Start > All Programs > NeatWorks >Neat Quick Scan Center. 
 
The NeatWorks icon will display in your system tray at the bottom of your screen. Once the NeatWorks Quick Scan Center is started, you can scan documents one after other, without opening NeatWorks.
 
Items are processed in the background, so there is no interruption to your workflow.  As items finish processing they are automatically sent to the Inbox for editing and filing. This means that you can continue working with your data while the scanning process continues. 
 
Scan settings can be accessed from Quick Scan Center.  To edit your settings at any time, just double click on the NeatWorks icon located in the system tray.
 
NeatWorks has the ability to automatically classify the type of paper you have scanned into three types – a receipt, business card, or document -- and place it in the appropriate bin in the Inbox. 
 
Selecting Auto-detect turns on this feature.  If you do not wish NeatWorks to auto-detect and sort your scans, select the default document type of receipt, business card or document.  If you select Document, every item you scan will be classified as a document and placed in the Document section of the Inbox.
 
You can always drag items from one section to another in the inbox, so do not worry if something has been mis-classified.

You can choose to scan in Black and White or Color. Select the radio button next to the desired option. Please note that color scanning decreases speed of scanning.  Therefore, if you do not need color scans or wish to scan quickly, select the Black & White option.

Single and double-sided scan options are only available if you are using the high-speed Neat ADF scanner.  If you are using a mobile scanner, this option will be grayed out.  
 
With NeatWorks, you can create PDFs simply by pressing the PDF button on your scanner or in the application. 
 
If you want the PDF to automatically open in Acrobat Reader when scanning is complete, check the Open when done radio button in the PDF Options box.

All scanned items are processed in the Quick Scan Center before being sent to the NeatWorks inbox.

If you wish to cancel a scan, simply click the X on the item in the queue.  To cancel all items being processed, click Cancel All. 
 
At the bottom of the Quick Scan Center, you’ll notice the Scanner Maintenance section. Here, you have the option to calibrate and clean your scanner.
 
Calibration ensures high quality images and results.  You must calibrate before using your scanner for the first time.
 
Calibration is then recommended only if you see a decline in image quality.
 
Select the clean option to clean your Neat Mobile scanner.  The clean option will not be available if you are using the Neat ADF scanner.  To clean the ADF scanner, please use the cleaning cloth and instructions that were provided with your purchase.  Cleaning the NeatReceipts scanner will remove flecks of dust or small pieces of paper that have been caught in the scanner.
