Is an OCR app included with the purchase of a Canon MF216n multi-function printer?

[HandletheTruth]

Just purchased this multi-function printer and the documentation seems to imply that I need to acquire an external OCR app.  Please confirm and / or clarify.  Or do I need to download an app from the web like Free OCR to Word?

By the way, so far the MF216n seems like an excellent printer, etc..  It is amazingly fast in printing out the stuff from the web; very little latency between pushing the print button and when the page becoming available.

Hi HandletheTruth.

 I will be able to assist you.

The MF Toolbox 4.9 software supports scanning in the document using OCR processing; however, you will need a separate OCR software that will allow you to edit the software.

I hope this information is helpful to you.  Should you need further assistance, please contact us at 1-800-OK-CANON (1-800-652-2666).
