Check the following to increase the recognition rate of OCR
(Optical Character Recognition).
- Check that
the original is placed straight.
- Use an
original with clear text. Text recognition may decline for the
following types of originals:
- Originals
that have been copied several times.
- Originals
received by fax (low resolution).
- Originals
where the letter spacing or line spacing is too small.
- Originals with ruled lines or underlined text.
- Originals with handwritten text.
- Originals with creases or wrinkles.
- Paper types made of thermal paper, such as receipts, may
deteriorate due to age or friction. Scan them as soon as
possible.
- When saving
as Searchable PDF files, check that
the correct languages are selected. Check the Language in each Save Setting window.
Note: You need the
Epson Scan OCR Component to save as a Searchable PDF. When you set
up the scanner using the installer, this is installed
automatically.
