Text normally gets scanned as an image, but you can convert it into text that can also be edited. Select "OCR" as the scan
type when you scan with MF Toolbox. The software that comes with this machine will convert any text in the scanned
image into text data that you can then edit with a text editor.

Add Images to a Work in Progress
Some applications work with the machine to let you easily import scanned images directly into documents you're working
on. This way you can skip the steps of opening a separate application just for receiving the scanned images and then
exporting them to the application you're really using.
