Scanning documents into an editing application
An Optical Character Recognition (OCR) application allows you to edit an original text document that has been scanned.
In order for this to work, you must have an OCR application stored on a local or network computer and you must be
able to choose it from the list of applications when you set up the scan.
When selecting settings for the scan:
• Select to scan to the local computer or network computer where the OCR application is installed.
• Select to scan to the highest resolution.
