Scanning with OCR Note Note To edit scanned text (Windows and Macintosh) You can use the OCR software to import scanned text into your preferred word processing application for editing. This allows you to edit faxes, letters, newspaper clippings, and many other documents. The HP LaserJet Director allows you to specify the word processing application you want to use for editing. OCR cannot recognize handwritten text. To change the OCR word processing application You can change the default word processing program that is used for OCR. 1 Open the HP LaserJet Director. 2 Click the Customize button. 3 Select the Button Customization tab. 4 Select OCR, then click the Options button. 5 Select the desired word processing application from the Select Application drop-down list. 6 Click Next and select the application's icon if it is not already selected. 7 Click Finish. 8 Click Apply or OK to save your selection. Due to the complexity of some word processing applications and their interaction with the product, it is sometimes preferable to scan to Wordpad (a Windows accessory) and then cut and paste the text into your preferred word processing application. To use HP LaserJet Director's OCR feature 1 Load the originals to be scanned face up in the ADF input tray, with the top of the document forward, and adjust the media guides. OR Lift the flatbed cover and load the original to be scanned face down on the flatbed scanner with the top left corner of the document located in the lower right corner of the glass. Gently close the lid. See Loading originals to copy or scan for more information. 2 Press start scan on the product's control panel.
