information about scanning text.
• If you scan text but cannot edit it, make sure you choose the following
selections during scanning:
– What are you scanning? Select Document.
– Scan for editable text? (OCR) Select Yes.
• Scanned text may not appear on your computer exactly as it appeared on
the original, especially if the original contains faint or smudged text. 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
then click Scan Document Settings.
