I cannot get ocr with my F4180 Can you help please

There is no scanning of a word document - you are scanning an image. If that image is a page with words printed on it or a picture , it doesn't mater to the scanner, to it all are pictures. So in the end you have a picture of the scanned image - in your case a picture of the page. Since you can't edit a picture with word you must convert that picture into an word document. For that you use an OCR program http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_character_recognition This printer has an OCR program in it, but you must activate and guide it yourself, it won't do the job automatically. To learn how to use it launch the installed HP Solution Center from your pc, it's a part of the driver that should have been installed with it.

Hi

Please check that a small piece of paper is not stuck in the printer. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

hi SimpleOCR - Scanning, Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) SimpleOCR is great for converting small numbers of black & white documents with simple layouts. If you need a more powerful OCR solution, please try these OCR Applications and Imaging Toolkits from ScanStore.com you appear to have some of your progam missing either re-install or go to these addresses ive found.hope this helps.

Follow this link to the HP User Manual for the F4180. Turn to Chapter 9, page 55 and follow instructions for scanning. It should help!

Just try unplugging the power cord from back of the printer and than connect it back again, see if that works

Do you have MS Office 2003 or 2007? If so, there is a Microsoft Document Imaging tool that you can use to scan text documents. You can also search www.download.com for free OCR tools you can use for the same purpose.

Hello,
according to what I read on the C450 biz hub, in order to do OCR you need to use the option that scans to SMB, that sends the scanned documents to your computer on the network. You can then process the documents on your computer with the OCR software program so you can edit the finished documents. I did not see anything that indicated the Bizhub had OCR software capabilities built into the unit. Regards, rcampsr
