Kyocera 2550 Scans but how do I OCR?

I can scan just fine, but my output is not OCR and therefore not searchable. I thought this machine could do OCR? Thanks for the the help.

    We set the machine up to OCR, but the PDFs are not coming out searchable.

You can find documentation form Kyocera Printers here, though it barely mentions anything about their OCR feature:
http://usa.kyoceramita.com/americas/jsp/Kyocera/home.jsp

The OCR feature is only an image quality setting, producing a more black and white high contrast image rather than a grey scale image.

I'm using our Kyoceras to email the images to a server where "send mail" processes the image and runs OCRopus, an open source Google funded OCR project, to read information from the scan.

I'm finding there are many Virtual ReScan solutions, like Kyocera's OCR feature, VRS software produces OCR optimized images, though I haven't found an open source VRS project.

Why not just get a desktop application for professional OCR? That is always the best choice if you have many documents to process. There are many good applications, here is a good comparison chart: http://www.ocrworld.com/software/5-in-depth/149-top-ocr-software.html

I am trying to scan a multiple page document into a single pdf document on my HP C7280 but it scans each page to individual images. Any suggestions?

In Adobe Acrobat:-
From 'File' select 'Create PDF', 'from Scanner'.
Scan the first page and the program will ask of you for 'Next' or 'Done'.
Select 'Next' until you have scanned the last page, then select 'Done'.
You can also make the document searchable by carrying out an OCR on it under 'Documents', 'Recognise text under OCR', 'Start'.

Email scanned docs

You don't. Scanners save everything as a Picture. Test is not text, it is a combination of thousands of dots that make up a picture. It takes an OCR and very complicated software to read text from a picture.

Bizhub 250 Scan to searchable pdf

This copier scans as an image. The contents of this file are not searchable. The output type (as default) can be set by logging into the web interface of the machine. As for one- touches that are allready setup as tif, you would need to edit the one touch parameters to set the device to PDF. (image only)

OCR on Ricoh all in one

you need to have the default scan output set to a .tif file, and then you would need an OCR software package to read the searchable file.
