If you're looking to improve the accuracy and functionality of your scanner's OCR (Optical Character Recognition) feature, you've come to the right place. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you locate and configure the OCR settings on your scanner:


1. Locate the OCR Settings:


To begin, navigate to the scanner's home screen and select "Send Settings". Under "File Type", choose "PDF" to enable OCR functionality.

  





 File Types Supported:

It's important to note that OCR is supported for PDF, High Compression PDF, and PDF/A file types. This means you can enjoy the benefits of OCR across a variety of file formats.


2. Access OCR Configuration:


Next, select "OCR Settings" and then switch the OCR feature to "On". This will allow you to customize the OCR process according to your preferences.


3. Configure OCR Options:


Once you've accessed the OCR settings, you can customize various options such as:

- Cognitive Language: Select the language of the document to be scanned for better OCR accuracy.

- Delete Blank Page: Choose to remove blank pages from the scanned document to streamline the OCR process.

- Add Extracted Text to File Name: Automatically add a text string from the scanned document to the file name for easier organization.




4. Finalize and Send:


After configuring the OCR settings, press "OK" twice to save your changes. Then, configure the destination and other settings (e.g., email address) as needed. Finally, press "Start" to initiate the scan with OCR.


By following these simple steps, you can optimize the OCR functionality of your scanner and enhance the accuracy and efficiency of your document scanning process. If you have any further questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out to our customer support team for additional guidance.
