Characters are not Recognized During Conversion to Editable Text (OCR) If characters in your scanned images are not recognized during OCR conversion, try these solutions: • Make sure your original is loaded straight on your product. • Use an original with clear text. • Adjust these Epson Scan 2 settings (if available) and try scanning again: • Select the correct Image Type setting. • Select or adjust the Text Enhancement setting. • If the Image Type is set to Black & White, adjust the Threshold setting. • Set the Image Type to Grayscale. • Set the scanning resolution between 200 and 600 dpi. • If the original document is in landscape mode, set the Rotate setting to Auto in Epson Scan 2. • If you are using OCR software, check the manual for any additional adjustments. • Scan thermal paper receipts as soon as possible. They may deteriorate due to age or friction. • When saving to Microsoft Office or Searchable PDF files, check that the correct languages are selected. Check the language in each save setting window. Parent topic: Solving Scanned Image Quality Problems Related tasks Scanning a Document in Epson ScanSmart Changing the Scan Settings Ripple Patterns Appear in an Image You may see a ripple pattern (called a moiré) in scanned images of printed documents. This is caused by interference from differing pitches in the scanner's screen and your original's halftone screen. To reduce this effect, adjust these Epson Scan settings (if available) and try scanning again: • Select the Descreening setting. • Select a lower Resolution setting.
