Welcome to the HP English Community --

 

In newer printers, OCR / Scan to Searchable File is a feature reserved to printers that have been accepted and added into the HP+ service agreement.

 

A few non-HP+ printers support the feature using the HP Smart Advance features in HP Smart.

 

Your "6455e" printer is not included in the non-HP+ list - only the non-e printers in the 6400 series are listed.

 

HP printers - Using advanced scanning features (HP Smart app)

 For example, read sections

"Which non-HP+ printers are eligible for HP Smart Advance?"

and, Next:

Save scans as searchable or editable text files”.

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------

 

To access the HP Smart Advance features on this printer,

Accept and enable your printer as part of the HP+ service.

 

If you cannot use the HP Smart Advance features,

and

If you are interested in learning more about the HP+ service,

Then,

Requirements for HP+ printers

 

This topic describes the requirements for HP+ printers.


Keep the printer connected to the Internet


HP+ printers are cloud-connected devices that must remain connected to the Internet in order to function. The
Internet connection enables the printer to deliver HP+ specific app features and firmware updates.


During setup, you must connect the printer to the Internet using a supported network connection. After setup,
you can print using a USB cable connection, if desired, but the printer must still be connected to the Internet.


Use Original HP cartridges


Original HP cartridges are cartridges manufactured and sold by HP in official HP packaging. If non-Original HP
supplies or refilled cartridges are installed, HP+ printers will not operate as expected.


Have an HP account


Create or sign into an HP account to manage your printer.
