To create an editable document using the EPSON Scan OCR Component, you need to follow these steps:

1. Open the EPSON Scan software on your Windows computer.
2. Place the document you want to scan into the scanner.
3. In the EPSON Scan window, select the scan settings according to your requirements (e.g., resolution, color, etc.).
4. Make sure the "Document Type" is set to "Text(Default)" or "Text Enhancement Only."
5. Enable the "Create searchable PDF" or "OCR" option.
6. Click on the "Scan" button to start the scanning process.
7. Once the scan is complete, a window will appear where you can save the scanned document.
8. Choose a location to save the file and select the file format as "PDF (Searchable)".
9. Click "Save" to create an editable document with OCR.

Please note that the availability and steps may vary depending on your specific EPSON scanner model and software version.
