This printer can be used as a scanner but you need to buy a usb to save it on. And it does come with software , I preferred to download it

This printer works as a scanner, hooked up via USB. It does require a bit of set up, which I had to contact HP for assistance, but once set up, it works seamlessly. It is just a very SLOW scan.

YES & YES and it does a reasonably good job, too. I mainly use the Scan to PDF & JPEG options and have been really pleased with the results. Scanning is slow, but for a portable unit is does many things well and there have to be a few sacrifices for the portability sake. Keep in mind that it runs just fine on battery mode too... just can not go wrong with this unit !!!

Yes. There are other formats to which your can select your scanned image to as weell The set up of the scanning drivers and scanner management program did not load correctly from the disk , thus requiring technical call and assistance. Tech Assist was great, responsive, on point and quick. I was up and scanning in minutes after opening the box. The scanner is blazing fast and accurate. We are quite please thus far.

You need an OCR program to do that , it`s not a scanner issue , it`s a software you need to use

This isn't a scanner. It's just a printer. You can create a CAD drawing or object in solid works and export it as an STL file. You have to use a slicer to make a thing file so the printer has a job.

Yes, it has a document scanner. The only negative I have for this printer is that the toner is pricey at $100 per cartridge x 4. But at least they last a long time. Best printer I've owned thus far and I've had about 20 inkjets prior.

I typically use photos of documents for my text conversions and I find the quality of the table scan depends depends on the quality of the photo input. if the photo is slightly out of focus the ocr output is poor. A scanner should be better quality than some photos so it should work.

The printer can perform single pass double sided scanning from the ADF. I don't understand the second half of your question; "AND photocopying if you use the" ADF.

I have this device and use Mac OS Mountain Lion. The scanning feature does work as long as you install the driver (available on their website). The only feature the Mac does not allow for is the OCR feature.

Exactly what the (software) is that comes with it I cannot say. I can tell you that it does come with everything you need that makes it a great scanner. I hope this helps.

Nope. Sorry. I wish they would add a simple OCR feature to the program for just that purpose, but it hasn't happened yet.

Hi sir, I bought this item too and realized that it's not a printer, in fact it's only a scanner. You can insert pictures you taken into the item and take pictures of it with your phone. This item is really just useless!

Print yes. I haven't tried scanning. The document scanner looks like it will handle a legal size paper.

This printer is not a copier. You would need to have a scanner for that this is not an all in one printer it is strictly a high volume printer.

Yes, I successfully print and scan using a MacBook Pro Laptop (laptop using Wi-Fi, printer connected to the router with Ethernet.) However, I have not yet been able to get the OCR software to install on the Mac.

No it does not have scanner. I just checked it; but it is a great machine for faxing. That is the sole purpose in our office. I hope it helps.

No scanner on this one. Its a very cheap printer. I got mine free with a computer purchase and it only lasted a few years.

I'm not sure what you mean with this question. Can you elaborate a bit? If you mean, can you make a copy of something else, then the answer is no. This is just a printer. Not a scanner, or fax or copier.
