Embedding Text Information in Scanned Data

You can use the OCR function to embed the text information in the scanned document without processing the data on your computer.

Important

  • For details about the optional units required for this function, see "Functions Requiring Optional Configurations", Getting Started.

  • This function supports the following file types: [PDF], [High Compression PDF], and [PDF/A].

If OCR accuracy has a higher priority than the image quality, select [Black & White: Text] in [Original Type] when scanning the original.

  • You cannot use the OCR function in the following cases:

    • [TIFF / JPEG] or [TIFF] is selected as the file type.
