home scanner now almost everyone has a computer owner.And most of it acquired in the appendage to the printer.Alas, with each subsequent update line printers it is clear that manufacturers are moving away from the issue of highly specialized solutions, preferring them to processors that combine a printer with a scanner.Although the scanner to the average computer owner needs very rarely function copier (copier) are sometimes very useful.
On the use combo solution for duplicating copies can be found in the instructions.We focus on the more complex version - on how to use the scanner (independent) in operating system environment Vindous.All current models for communication with a computer using the interface USB, so you first connect the wire to the device corresponding free port on your computer.Varieties with a matrix of CIS to supply all the internal circuits using the current USB (500 mA).But CCD scanners (with backlight) need to connect an additional power supply.Including all the necessary wires, push the button on the scanner, the power supply (in the CIS is enough to connect USB-interface).The hardware component is prepared.But this is not the complete answer to the question "how to use the scanner," as further software installation is needed.
Included with the scanner to go with the driver disk and bonus applications.The driver - a control program, the operating system provides instructions on how to interact with the connected device.It is recommended to visit the site of the scanner manufacturer and download the latest version of the driver for your phone model.If the equipment has been detected, and the driver is installed, the problem with how to use the scanner should arise.The exceptions are too old models, more unsupported by the manufacturer and compatible with the new operating systems.Let us examine this point in more detail, as the number of owners of older models of hundreds of thousands.How to use the scanner to them?The solution exists, and three!
First - install the old operating system, which is still supported by the driver.For obvious reasons, hardly anyone will be delighted by the return to the Group of Seven to Win XP or Win 9x.
second method allows to leave a modern system, but to use a scanner.We are talking about the use of a special emulator, create a virtual computer.The most famous - is VMware Workstation, Virtual PC, and Virtual Box.Download, install, installed in a virtual environment the old operating system and involved the scanner.
And finally, the most convenient solution (if you work) - Using VueScan.This application is specially designed for scanners and, more importantly, can work without installed device drivers.However, run VueScan is far from all devices, so you need to try.
Before scanning a document to be executed configure the scanner.The number of available items depends on the driver and your software program (shell Twain, Adobe Fine Reader, etc.).Usually it is sufficient to deal with the resolution (dpi) and the quality of the scan (color, black and white).
is sometimes necessary to "share the" scanner on the network.This is possible only with the full support of the device operating system.You can use third-party programs - BlindScanner, RemoteScan and the like.They all work on the same principle: a computer with a scanner placed the server part of the program, and on the other - client.
can also take advantage of Windows.In a monitor icon in the notification area, follow in the "Network Control Center."View the full map.With the "Wizard" to add the necessary scanner model.Such a method is inferior to the previous terms of flexibility.
