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.
- If the
Image Type is set to Black & White, select Text Enhancement. If the Image Type is set to
Color or Grayscale, change the Text Enhancement setting to High.
- 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.
