Hi
I recently bought an HP PSC2410 Printer Scanner Copier. Now it states that amomgst the software it has a Optical Character Recognition Software "Readiris PRO", however when i installed it, all i could find was the IRIS Registration menu, any idea if it is installed or what do i need to do?

Dont know for sure but if its like the scanner software Ive got it will show up as an option when you scan something.May or may not be real obvious when you run the program.Mine has a little scanner control window that pops up and lets you set options before you do the scan, thats pretty common way to do it, look in there if it works that way.
