    Printer and multifunction device are not interchangeable words.

    No comments on postscript?  Many Xerox printers/copiers have postscript (or postscript emulation) so I'm surprised you haven't run into postscript before.

    None of my two printers has OCR capabilities. Maybe they are too old?

    None of my scanners have OCR capabilities. They came with separate OCR software to install on the computer, but the scanners themselves are not OCR devices.

    Jay, going to shut you down real quick. I hope you like that Mac, it is the last one that will give you either MacOS, or Debian Linux (O/S-X) Panther. YOUR next operating system will be WINDOWS! Apple has stated they are out of the Operating System business, and if you have a modern Mac, you know it is now CICS, and nolonger RISC. I really JUST want to welcome you to Windows Jay. BUT not to worry, Windows 8 metro desktop is sort of like the icon based Mac O/S 7 & 8. Once I found out that you were a MAC user it told me, you wouldn't be familar with Windows's extensions! Might I suggest to you Jay, is go over to your local University's TTC and grab a couple of classes in Windows, and system files, & extensions. All in all you hadn't a clue with the Adobe program on a Windows 8 system, and just made a simple Q&A session a personal witch hunt because like most Mac users, you have a hated

    of ALL things Microsoft. Have a good life Jay. I won't be replying to this board anylonger.

    Claudio? ALL printers have OCR that's HOW they can distinguish various font sets. OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition HELL even a line printer from the 1960s has OCR. This is WAY to hilarious!

    Of course, stupid of me not to realize that digital files contain printed images of characters, which the printer in turn optically scans to recognize them. Naively, I had vague notions of things such as ASCI and Unicode having something to do with the process. Hilarious, indeed. My apologies.

    You know I  reinstalled windows 7 yesterday, before I realized that I was only a mac person. I wish I knew I had a hatred of all things microsoft before I attempted to do something I knew nothing about.  It's amazing that I'm able to use this machine at all.

     

    That was amusing and a little scary I fret about the state of our programmers

    I wouldn't know about ASCI Claudio, I use ASCII Weird things they are having you do there.

    Have a wonderful day now. This strikes me as funny, usually it is some site visitor that's a Troll

    BUT here, it's the board Admins that are!  hahahahahahahhahahahhaha.

    Of course, that I that my fingers refused to print is much more important than printers optically recognizing each letter of a digital file to print them...

     

    Funny that you seem to think that I am some sort of administrator or member of some board here. I am just an ordinary user, far more ignorant than you of course, but at least I have not concentrated on your typos. And I do know what ASCII is about.

    WELL Claudio, WE don't want the onlookers to think were more of morons that we actually are NOW would we?

    So I had to make sure they would understand it was ASCII, and not ASCI. Hell I already built up a cheering section

    here. I have to give my fans a good showing, as you should for your aunt Teresa. NOW be a GOOD nephew!

    I don't try to hide with a missing "I" a printer that does OCR on digital files in order to print each character. Also, I don't try deviate the discussion to  typing and grammar errors. Above all, I am not willing to waste more time trying to argue with someone who seems to think that cheap sarcasm is more powerful than arguments. Have a nice day, and cotinue degrading the discussion with whomever is willing to try to reason with you.
