Hi! @rgkneip,
I have checked the specifications of the printer and it does not have a built in OCR feature.
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software converts the letters in a graphic file to editable text (TST or RTF files).
OCR software is required to use this feature. Open HP Scan software on the computer, and then look for a Save as Editable Text (OCR) shortcut.
-
If the shortcut displays, select it to scan the item as a document that you can edit.
-
If the shortcut does not display, your printer did not ship with HP OCR software. Purchase and install OCR software, such as OmniPage, FineReader, or Readiris.
However, I found a third party applications that support OCR. You can download the rediris pro using this link. Click Here
Depending on your printer, you have to activate the product after installation and you need to pay for the software to use it.
Hope this answers your query!
Have a great day! 🙂
