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.
