Convert scanned documents to editable text

Your All-In-One has an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software feature which converts scanned documents into editable text that you can open in a word processing application.

To convert scanned documents into editable text:

  1. Load originals on the scanner glass.
  2. Open the Lexmark 2200 Series Center.
  3. From the Device: pop-up menu, choose Lexmark 2200 Series. The Device: pop-up menu is available only when several All-In-Ones are installed on your computer.
  4. Click the Scan tab.
  5. From the What is being scanned? area, choose the type of document you are scanning. The OCR function is not available if Photo is selected.
  6. From the How will the scan be used? pop-up menu, choose To edit text (OCR).
  7. From the Send scanned images to: pop-up menu, choose the application in which you want to open the scanned text.
  8. Click Scan. Your scanned image is converted to editable text.
