how do I resolve issues with scanning documents or text?
The scanner uses Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to convert text on a page
to text that you can edit on your computer.
If you scan text but cannot edit it, make sure you make the following
selections during scanning:
What are you scanning?: Select Document.
Scan for editable text?: Select Yes.
Scanned text may not appear on your computer exactly as it appeared on
the page. For example, some characters may be incorrect or missing. As
you edit the text, verify the scanned text and make corrections as
necessary.
To change text scanning options, from the HP Director, click Settings, and
click Scan Document Settings.
Note: OCR is installed automatically when you install the scanning software
during scanner setup.
