It just creates a PDF full of images. The only way you're going to get that converted to a usable epub is if you do OCR on the images (probably easiest to do once you've converted to PDF). Of course OCR is not perfect, so after you've done the conversion you'll have to go back through the book and edit all of the mistakes it made.
+1 on that

Footnote: yet another thinking that calibre is some kind of magic wand.
