Scanning to a text editing application, such as Microsoft's Notepad or WordPad, automatically converts
the text in the scanned image into editable text using Optical Character Recognition (OCR).
Supported file types—The text file formats and destination applications are only available if an OCR
module or application is installed. Please refer to "Text Formats" on page 22 to see a list of text file formats
that are available when OCR is installed. Additionally, the available file formats are application specific,
for example Microsoft's WordPad can open *.txt and *.rtf files, so only those two file types will be available
when scanning to WordPad.
Note that when there is no OCR module or application installed, the format panel will not contain a text
icon and there will be no text editor applications in the Select destination list.
Destination type—This destination type is classified as a "Text Based Link". To make it available in the
destination list, you must select Text editing applications on the Options tab in the OneTouch Properties
window. If the text editing application you are using does not appear in the Select destination list, you can
add the application using the Text Documents OneTouch Link Properties window.
1. In the OneTouch Properties window select one of the default text editors such as WordPad.
2. Click on the Properties button to open the Text Document OneTouch Link Properties window.
From this window you can select what OneTouch should do when text is not detected or recognition
fails, and add other applications to OneTouch.
Note that if you recently installed an application, click the Refresh button to see if OneTouch will
automatically configure the link before you try adding it manually.
