First shut down the computer, then turn on the scanner and the computer so that the
computer knows the scanner is attached.
Open an imaging program.
Put the picture face down on the scanner glass and close the cover, or if you’re
using a portable scanner, insert the picture face-down into the slot.
After the program opens, go to File,Scan New, and you are ready to start
scanning your picture.
You’ll see a little window that offers some choices on how you want your scanned
image to look.
On the right top portion of that little window are three little icons you use to
customize your scanning setting.
The first top icon is the best one to use. It has a couple of options that you may want
to try.
Ask for help if you don’t know what to do.
When you finished picking your choices you are ready to scan or preview your image. It
is better to preview your image first, then scan.
Remember! Some of the choices you make on how you want your picture to look won’t
come out exactly as you want it to come out. Experiment. Different photos will come out
with varying results depending on the options you select.
If you don’t like the way your image came out, you can go back to File, Scan
New, and start again with other settings.
You can always change them and see how your image would come out.
