There is a Mac version of FineReader.

Thanks for the advice.  The last time I installed an “All-In-One”
printer/copier/scanner it was on my Vista PC; I have ABBY Fine Reader 6
installed on that PC.  I guess I’ll have to get some sort of OCR
software for this Mac Mini if I hope to convert scanned documents into
any sort of text-based files.
Thanks again!

Bill,

What OCR do you intend to use with this scanner?  It's a matter of
having an OCR application like Vuescan or FineReader or some other OCR
software which will recognise your scanner and then you can scan
documents.  Also, have you added the scanner using system preferences?
 Go to system preferences after you've plugged in your scanner and
switched it on, choose printers and faxes and add your scanner to your
system.

Hope this helps a little.

I have an Epson XP 420 Series printer/scanner/copier and have no clue
as how to configure this device so I’ll be able to scan documents
with it.  I’ve opened the “Epson Scan Setting app” only to discover
there isn’t much I can do within this program.  On the off-chance
that the scanner drivers/software may have been configured when I
initially installed this network ‘all-in-one’ printer I like wise
opened the “Epson Scanning app” only to learn it isn’t apparently
configured.  Can anybody offer me a suggestion as how to best pursue
this matter.

I’m using MacOS Sierra on a Mac Mini.

I would certainly appreciate any advice.

Thanks in advance!
