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 document feeder window is clean.
When the printer scans the document, smudges or dust on the scanner glass or document
feeder 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.
Make sure the original is properly loaded and that the document is not skewed. For more
information, see
Load an original on the scanner glass or Load an original in the document
feeder.
