In short, what you need is a scanner, or All-in-One with scan fundctionality. All HP Deskjet All-in-One, or PhotoSmart All-in-One, Officejet (they have a built in scanner) have OCR functionality. - Note, OCR is a software application, it takes the scanned image data and detects and recognizes the characters/words.

Maybe what I said was not clear? Any AiO/MFP (be it a desktop, photosmart or officejet) that has scan as part of the function supports OCR. A single function printer (without built in scanner) doesn't do OCR.
For example, this printer: Photosmart e-All-in-One (means it can print, scan, copy, email)

I have a B210 all-in-one printer. I would like to scan items, save them to a file, and then OCR them so i can compile them into a separate document that is text editable. A document such as a Word doc.
Will this B210 printer perform this function for me? Is there a software package I need to make this happen?
thank you ,

Hello DRNI3,
In the future, please start your own thread for help.
The All in One 8610 does have OCR intergrated into its system.
Pages 58-60 of the manual explain how to use it.

Thanks.
