Guidelines for scanning documents as editable text
To ensure that the software can convert your documents successfully, do the following:
• Make sure the scanner glass or ADF window is clean.
When the printer scans the document, smudges or dust on the scanner glass or ADF
window can be scanned, as well, and can prevent the software from converting the
document to editable text.
• Make sure the document is loaded correctly.
When scanning documents as editable text from the ADF, the original must be loaded
into the ADF with the top forward and face up. When scanning from the scanner glass,
the original must be loaded with the top facing the right edge of the scanner glass.
Also, make sure the document is not skewed. For more information, see
Load an
original on the scanner glass or Load an original in the automatic document feeder
(ADF).
