Searchable PDF/XPS/OOXML

This mode enables you to perform OCR (optical character recognition) to extract data that can be recognized as text from the scanned image and create a PDF/XPS/OOXML (pptx) file that is searchable. You can also set [Compact] if you select PDF or XPS as the file format.
1.
Press [Scan and Send] → specify the destination → press the file format button.
2.
Select [PDF], [XPS], or [OOXML] → press [Set Details].
If you want to separate multiple images and send them as separate files, each of which consists of only one page, set [Divide into Pages] to 'On'. If you want to scan the images as a single file, turn the setting 'Off'.
3.
Press [OCR (Text Searchable)] → [OK] → [OK].

IMPORTANT
Even if you select [OCR (Text Searchable)], text may not be detected correctly in some cases. (See "If OCR (Text Searchable) Performs Inadequately.")
NOTE
If you select PDF (OCR), XPS (OCR), or OOXML (OCR) as the file format, and <Smart Scan> is set to 'On' in [OCR (Text Searchable) Settings] (Settings/Registration), the orientation of the original is detected, and the document is automatically rotated if necessary before it is sent. (See "Settings for Creating Searchable PDF/XPS/OOXML.")
If you select PDF or XPS as the file format, you can set [Compact] and [OCR (Text Searchable)] at the same time. In that case, [PDF (Compact)] or [XPS (Compact)] is displayed as the file format on the Scan and Send Basic Features screen.
