If you have a printed label sheet and OCR software you should be able to
extract the data from the labels to create a new database - but I
understood you already had the data file to create the labels, so where
does the scanning come into it?

If by scanning, you intend a means to obtain the graphics for your merge
then once you have done that, the process I linked earlier is the means to
get those images into your merge document. It doesn't get simpler than
that. There is no way to pick individual graphics from a scanned document
and include them in a merge. You will have to extract them first and
associate the file names with your data.

by way of explanation, I have a pile of customers who send me their logos.
Normally I have cut out their logos and pasted them onto an A4 sheet
individually so that each A4 sheet contains about 6 logos and then I scan
the sheet. I then use Photoshop to cut out and paste each logo onto each
letter. I am trying to make this a faster job. I was trying to avoid
scanning each logo individually if possible- rather scan 6 or so at one time
and somehow use mailmerge to pull the logo out of these sheets
automatically. It seems pretty clear that I must do each logo individually
but I was just trying to explore the possibility that there may be some
shortcut .
I do not need to use OCR for this job.
