Model MFC-7420 Scanner problem (by 4 users)

posted by Dragonfly702 on Oct 30, 2007


I am having a problem with the scanner. The error message says that I dont have an OCR program installed. I have word perfect installed on the PC with the Windows XP operationg system. What do I need to do to make the scanner work and allow me to scan documents into the PC and make changes to the document?

Initially OCR did not launce. Reinstalled the software from the internet - did steps 100% but now get message OCR is not installed. Went to systems -dxata execution ptevention tab and ensures controlcentre2.0 main program was mared - but still did not help. Having the same problem with my 9180 MFC, have not taken any steps to fx it yet.

Control Center 2.0

MFC-7420 usb cannot be found

Please make sure your device is ON and interface cable is properly connected to your computer.

I have a desktop in the office and can scan on that. But I mostly use my laptop which is wi fi in the office. Although I can print from my laptop I am unable to scan? Can you help?

OCR program, a program that reconises what characters you have scanned from a original... I do beleive that the brother software package that comes with these printers has one included, go to brother web site and download full driver and software package for your machine

The ocr program that comes with your machine is called

ControlCenter2.0

You need to install scanner software as well as print drivers, wordperfect or XP have Ocr software but your printer does it is called control certer, you need to download and install it and set it up to use wordperfect as wordprocesser, it wont happen by itself.

Your not being helpfull in solving your own problem, maybe I should charge you like I do at work so you appriciate the info supplied. p.s. I'm a Brother Warranty repair agent

When scanning to OCR from Brother Control Center 2.0, the OCR application doesn't launch. I have Windows® XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) installed. What should I do?

Here is a link that tells us that your model comes with OCR software, looks like it is called paper port
