Probably you tried an option that allow the character recognition of a text you just scanned and you didn't installed the software for this option, so it asks you the OCR disk. It could be Abby FineReader, Iris, or another piece of software that makes character recognition.

OCR is Optical Character Recognition , which is used to recognize letters, numbers and scan tham as such in a text format.
It sound slike you have the scanner in TEXT MODE Scan, that's why it was asking for the OCR Disc to install the OCR Drivers.

OCR is the recognition of printed or written text characters by a computer. This involves analysis of the scanned-in image, and then translation of the character image into character codes, such as ASCII. OCR is being applied by libraries, businesses, and government agencies to create text-searchable files for digital collections. OCR is also used to help process checks and credit card slips and sort the mail.
so they where talking about install software to OCR the text in your pc.

If you are trying to scan a document into a text or word processing file you will need to install the Optical Character Recognition program.
