Can I add a option to scan to an OCR file to my HP OfficeJet Pro 9015 and how is it done?

[MCS2]

The printer currently does not have the option to scan a document to an OCR file, and the HP Smart app installed on my computer does not offer the option either.

The Full Feature Software should include the OCR feature.

===================================================================

If you have not done so, download-save-install the Full Feature Software / Full Driver for the printer

Full Driver / Full Feature Software does not require a sign-in to use the software.

Download - save - run

 HP Easy Start

• Download-and-Save the printer software (Full Feature Software / HP Smart / Easy Start)
• Right-Click on the downloaded package and "Run as Administrator" to start the installation
• Reminder:  If using Easy Start, select the Full Driver

Easy Start... The Journey

About 2/3 of the way through the setup, you will be given the opportunity to select the software - select the "Full Driver" set (as opposed to the basic driver).

You can Skip any suggestion that you add the HP Account – you’ll need the account at some point, but you can skip this suggestion (as many times as it insists it’s a good idea) during the full driver software installation.

Side Bar: HP Smart requires that HP Account sign-in > HP Smart is NOT the same thing as the Full Feature Software / Full Driver.

If you see it, you can skip any suggestion regarding Instant Ink subscription.

Any...

If using USB:  Connect the cable when instructed to do so (near the last part of the driver installation)

After the software is installed, Restart the computer and log in.

Full driver provides print and scan functions supported by your printer.
