The usage of cannon scanners is relatively simple. Install the necessary software or drives for the particular type of scanner before you can begin scanning your papers or pictures. Your scanner is ready to use after the installation process is complete. Make sure your scanner is connected to the computer and switched on. You may pick the type of document youre scanning by using the arrow buttons to go through the available options in the Scan settings menu. Place the original photograph or document on the scanning surface (the platen glass), or load it into the automated document feeder (ADF). After that, you may scan in colour by pressing the Color button, or you can scan in black and white by pressing the Black button. The scanner on the printer will begin operating. Once the scan is finished, the file containing the scanned picture (or images) will be stored to your computer.
