is valid for all Scanners
SIMPLY SCAN THE PAGE AS AN IMAGE WITH HIGH RESOLUTION. SAVE IT IN JPEG FORMAT. RUN AN OCR SOFT LIKE ABBYY FINE READER. TRANSFER THE IMAGE INTO TEXT.

OCR (optical character recognition) software, used with your scanner, converts a printed page into an editable computer text file almost as accurately as if you typed it. The specifics of these instructions will vary from one OCR program to another.
1. Place the printed page on scanner with the text facing the glass. Make sure it's straight.
2. Open your OCR program.
3. Select Acquire (or something similar) from the File menu.
4. Choose your scanner as the source.
5. Set resolution to between 200 and 400 dpi (dots per inch).
6. Select Line Art as image type or scan mode.
7. Click Prescan.
8. Evaluate the text quality on screen. If it looks too jagged, increase the resolution.
9. Drag the frame in the pre-scan window to select desired blocks of text.
10. Click Scan.
11. Repeat the process for additional pages of the same document.
12. If the OCR program does not automatically convert document to text, click Recognize or Convert.
13. Save the text file.
14. Open the file in a word-processing application.
15. Immediately run the spell checker.
16. Check the text for other errors.

All scanners copy what you put into them. Then you can program where you want it to be placed whether in wordpad, notepad,microsoft office, acrobat, or many other places according to the software you may have loaded on your computer.
