How to use a scanner?

Question

I just purchased a printer/scanner/fax/copier for my office. I have never used a scanner. How does it work?

Answer 1

Read the DAMN instruction manual....

Answer 2

A scanner will scan the picture/ document that you place in the tray ( face down towards the printer). It will take a few moments. A preview of the scan will come up. You can reline or adjust and re-scan then if you so choose. From there you choose to either print it or to save it to your documents or pictures. Basically a scanner is used to import and save an image or text document into your computer.Check in your owners manual about different settings. Start out with the default settings until you get comfortable with things.Then when you have some spare time .... : ) ......you can experiment with some of your options for different things that you are scanning.

Answer 3

You plug the USB Cord from it into the back of the computer. It also may be a special plug for the scanner but it will be easy to find because there will be only one place it can fit into. Then you should install the software that comes with the scanner.

Im not really sure what you mean by How does a scanner work? If you mean the basics of it, it scans anything you put onto the glass onto the computer. You just place the image you want scanned on the glass and press scan and it will apprear on your computer.

Answer 4

The purpose is to offer some scanning tips and to explain the basics for photos and documents. It is about the fundamentals of digital images, about the basics to help you get the most from your scanner. How it works, for those that want to know.

Included here are the general questions that we've all asked about digital images, but unfortunately, that other sources don't answer. The material is about the basics, and is appropriate for the beginner. The content is certainly not superficial, but it is not at all difficult either, it is just simply about how it works. It describes in plain language the things we need to know to be efficient and get the most from our images, in the various ways that we can use them.

The material was written about scanning, but most of it is a basic primer on digital images in general, applicable to images from digital cameras too. This material is intended for home and hobby users, and is not concerned with commercial prepress.

Many newbies want to scan a photo at the greatest possible resolution. We'll explain why that's the wrong answer, with tips about how to choose a more appropriate answer. That and many other scanning basics are covered here, and it's intended to be a fast jump start to aid newcomers to graphics and scanning. Scanners are easy and fun and very useful, and there's lots of artistic creativity possible too. There will be a little scanning technique to learn, but when you've seen it once, then it's rather simple.
