yes it does, however it is rubbish, also it does not give me a good balance between quality of scan vs. size of file.<br />
<br />
So the issue is definately with Microsoft Office Imaging.

Hi,<br />
I use Microsoft Office Document Scanning a lot. &nbsp;This is one of the features with Microsoft Office. &nbsp;I use it to scan all my documents (bank statements etc in).<br />
<br />
I have recently purchased a new printer and a new computer and I am having issues with the scanning<br />
<br />
In short the scanner does work. &nbsp;As the document is being scanned, you can see it correctly displayed in the preview. &nbsp;However when the document finishes and it is shown on the screen - it is unreadable.<br />
<br />
Instead of showing the document with all the text, it shows black &amp;&nbsp;white lines. &nbsp;It looks like something is being done in the post processing of the document and is screwing it up. &nbsp;I have checked the options, however no luck, e.g. disabling OCR etc.<br />
<br />
Any ideas<br />
<br />
Cheers<br />

Microsoft Office Document Scanning

A peripheral device is defined as a computer device, such as a keyboard or printer, that is not part of the essential computer (i.e., the memory and microprocessor). These auxiliary devices are intended to be connected to the computer and used in conjunction with it. Examples of external peripherals include mouse, keyboard, printer, monitor, external Zip drive or scanner, while internal peripherals include CD-ROM drive, CD-R drive or internal modem. Today's new devices, such as tablets, smartphones and wearable computing devices are considered peripherals as they can be connected and used on a computer system. The difference, however, is that these devices can run independently of the computer system.

Optical character recognition (OCR) is the mechanical or electronic conversion of images of typed, handwritten or printed text into machine-encoded text. It is widely used as a form of data entry from printed paper data records, including passport documents, invoices, bank statements, computerized receipts, business cards, mail, printouts of static-data, or any suitable documentation. It is a common method of digitizing printed texts so that it can be electronically edited, searched, stored more compactly, displayed on-line, and used in machine processes such as machine translation, text-to-speech, key data and text mining. OCR is a field of research in pattern recognition, artificial intelligence and computer vision.

Microsoft Office is an integrated suite of applications that includes Outlook, Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, Visio and InfoPath, along with a number of tools to assist in making the individual components work together. Coding within and between the projects is done in Visual Basic for Applications, known as VBA.
