Hi @TM12,

 

Welcome to the HP Forums! 

 

I noticed that you are wanting to scan as a document, with your HP Deskjet 1510, on Windows 10. And, I am happy to look into this for you! 

 

To scan a text document that you can edit, Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software from HP or a third-party vendor must be installed on your computer.
 
Open HP Scan, then look for a Save as Editable Text (OCR) shortcut.
 
If the shortcut displays, load the document on the scanner glass or into the ADF, then click  Scan. The printer scans the item as an editable Text (TXT) or Rich Text file (RTF) that you can then edit.
 
If the shortcut does not display, your printer did not ship with HP OCR software. To scan as editable text, you can install software from a third-party vendor such as OmniPage, FineReader, or Readiris. HP recommends that you contact the vendor to see if your printer is compatible, and for steps to use the software.

Thanks for reply. I am surprised that i would need to buy proportionally expensive additional software. My previous Lexmark printer included in lower purchase price.  Salesman did not advise. Probably best to ditch this  printer and buy more useful item.

Regards,

Tony
