Configure OCR in MyQ to define where scanned documents are processed and how output formats are handled.
Enable OCR
-
In the MyQ web UI, go to MyQ > Settings > Scanning & OCR > OCR, and ensure that OCR is Enabled.
-
In OCR server type, select MyQ OCR Server.
-
In OCR working folder, you can specify the data folder used by the OCR service. We recommended to use the default location (
C:\ProgramData\MyQ\OCR).
Note that the working folder must also be set in the OCR Server configuration. For more information, see Configuring OCR Server.
Both the MyQ server and the OCR server must have read and write access to the OCR working folder.
OCR Folder Structure
The OCR folder (default is C:\ProgramData\MyQ\OCR) contains the following sub-folders:
-
/in – stores scanned documents before processing.
-
/out – stores scanned documents after processing. These files are ready to be sent.
-
/profiles – stores your OCR profiles.
