Support Scanners ES Series Epson WorkForce ES-50

The product is not converting characters to editable text. What should I do?

  • 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, 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.
