I have a printer-scanner and I have never scanned before. Where do you put the paper and everyhting?

Ok... Right, does the top open? Not to look in at where it prints, but where you put the paper in? If its glass there, put the paper in. Then if you've installed it, a thing should be in 'ALL PROGRAMS' that says 'SCAN' or something.

That's what I do...

Yeah, what she said

Meh, i have a printer-scanner, but i dont know how to get it up and running :< *goes off to try*

BUT if it goes wrong, dun kill me, please. Thats just what I do when I scan with mine...

So I put the paper where I put it to print?

No. There should be a flat bit where it sucks the paper in to print on, but that should have a cover. Lift the top part of the cover, and you should see glass, and a scanner like inside, and put the paper, drawing down, in there.

The only bit I can find id the top bit where you put the paper.

Mmm. Right, do you know what model it is?

Yes. Canon MP160

Ok, the scanner part is highlighted in red:



Is that it?

Yes. So, after you've scanned, does it get saved onto the computer?

Yes, it automatically saves for me.

Is that the model you have?

I'm going to buy myself a scanner tommorow, but i have a question.

When you draw something, like a lineart. When you scan it onto the computer can you get good quality drawings? As in you can colour them good on gimp, photoshop e.t.c

It comes out good but beware if you rub out alot... *Looks at failed drawing of Luci* But that may just be me.

Meh, i usually draw with pencil first, then rub out the mistakes with a good quality rubber. Then i outline it in black pen, just to make the detail's stand out

I was gonna get the art tablet at first, but i thought, whats the point? With and art tablet i can only do digital art. But the scanner i'l be buying, which is only £50, will let me do both digital and traditional art. I'm great and better at traditional, so i want to show of good quality works, instead of getting blurry images with my webcam >.<

Is that the model you have?

Nope, but I'm guessing they're the same. xD

I have a HP Printer, so when I scan, a window pops up and you have to click on "scan" and all. It's easy.

But if you don't have a HP Printer, then I don't think I can help you. xD
