Characters are not Recognized During Conversion to Editable Text (OCR)
If characters in your scanned images are not recognized during OCR conversion, try these solutions:
• Make sure your original is loaded straight on your product.
• Use an original with clear text.
• Adjust these Epson Scan 2 settings (if available) and try scanning again:
• Select the correct Image Type setting.
• If the Image Type is set to Black & White, select Text Enhancement. If the Image Type is set to
Color or Grayscale, change the Text Enhancement setting to High.
• Select or adjust the Text Enhancement setting.
• If the Image Type is set to Black & White, adjust the Threshold setting.
• Set the Image Type to Grayscale.
• Set the scanning resolution between 200 and 600 dpi.
• If the original document is in landscape mode, set the Rotate setting to Auto in Epson Scan 2.
• If you are using OCR software, check the manual for any additional adjustments.
• Scan thermal paper receipts as soon as possible. They may deteriorate due to age or friction.
• When saving to Microsoft Office or Searchable PDF files, check that the correct languages are
selected. Check the language in each save setting window.

Scanning in Epson Scan 2
Ripple Patterns Appear in an Image
You may see a ripple pattern (called a moiré) in scanned images of printed documents. This is caused
by interference from differing pitches in the scanner's screen and your original's halftone screen. To
reduce this effect, adjust these Epson Scan 2 settings (if available) and try scanning again:
• Select the Descreening setting on the Advanced Settings tab.
• Select a lower Resolution setting.
