HP C4599, C4580 manual Text is incorrect or missing, Text format is incorrect

Chapter 13

If you scanned an original that has graphics or artwork surrounding the text, the scanner might not have recognized the text.

Text format is incorrect

Solution: Some applications cannot handle framed text formatting. Framed text is one of the scan document settings in the software. It maintains complex layouts, such as multiple columns from a newsletter, by putting the text in different frames (boxes) in the destination application. In the software, select the correct format so that the scanned text layout and formatting are retained.

Cause: The scan document settings were incorrect.
