How to scan a picture/document into your computer (Windows)

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Video starts at 1:42. Shown on Windows 7
Here is a video that might help you step by step, or may just point you in the right direction.
I got very frustrated trying to do this, so I thought I would make a quick video hoping that it helps anyone else that might be having the same problem (I have/used the canon MP240 printer/scanner)
Hope it helps.
enjoy

    Yes. I was very VERY frustrated - but not any longer :-) . Trying to figure out the instructions from the CD Rom was painful to say the least. Then I find this video and within minutes I am able to scan and upload a pic to my picture files. Yay ! Thank you wakaphwap - you make it all so simple. You saved me from completely tearing my hair out (the little hair I have still got left , lol )

    The *key* was your directive of doing it from the computer and not touching the printer! Wow...I kinda had to figure out after scanning it into my computer the requirements FB wanted/needed in order to upload my flyer to their site (TIF format) but once I did that--I was all set! And here I thought it was going to be either impossible or not doable! Wow...it was so simple and I didn't even need to watch the whole darn video! I had it at 2:17 seconds! Thank you bunches!

    Online school is extremely difficult. I take a lot of notes on the things that i read. I usually have to watch/read how to do it a couple times over. Mostly I just get things down on paper because it's a lot easier than going back and forth through tabs, and Microsoft. There's homework every day, and it is extremely easy to get behind fast. You can also print off the study guides that they give you, it's not personally my favorite way of doing it, but the really helps others.

    Well after 4 hours of pushing buttons on my friggin pixma mp522 printer, I found you! And, within 10 minutes I had my piece of paper scanned. No manual came with my printer of course, only the setup in 7 different languages. I looked for a manual setup download (which ended up being trojan infected luckily my antivirus caught it) just to find out how to scan, and it was just as easy as your method. I'm telling you. Thank you, you saved more hair pulling out of my head from frustration!!!

    For those using a *HP Deskjet 2540*, only type "scan" into the search. (I got ahead of myself as I was following instructions. XP) *HP Scan* should be at the top of the list, the rest should be obvious, but I'll spell it out anyway. Choose the first option being "Photo to file", after using it once, *HP Scan* will appear in your start menu. For the sake of convenience, drag that sucker to your desktop. Oh, and thank you, Wakaphwap, this was very helpful. : ) In my state of rage, I never would have thought to actually use the search option. XD

    Do your scans look nice and sharp? Any noise? From here it looks pretty good. I tried to scan pictures with my canon mg5250 and i didn't like the qualtity. Its reddish and noisy. I can correct the colour but not the noise. If i checkt correctly your scanner as 1200dpi and my scanner has 2400. Conclusion: My Scanner should be better.
