Note
If the word processing icon is not present or active, either you do not have a word processing software
application installed on your computer or the scanner software did not recognize the application
during the installation. For instructions on how to create a link to your word processing application,

Note
The OCR software does not support scanning colored text. Colored text will always be converted to
black and white text before being sent to OCR; thus, all text in the final document will be black and
white regardless of the original color.
